Washington (AP) – Supreme Court Ruling Wednesday Food and Drug Administration In suppression Sweet smoke Products used after the surge in e-cigarettes for teenagers.
But the unanimous decision of the Justice to throw out the Federal Court of Appeals ruling is not the last sentence in the case, and now the president now, the FDA can change its approach Donald Trump Committed to “save” the cigarette.
The High Court ruled that during the presidency of the President Joe Biden administration, the FDA rejected the Dallas-based company Triton’s issuance to sell such as “Jimmy the Jimmy the Jimmy the Jimmy the Jimmy the Peachy Strawy Stawy Plackberry” and “Milk and Cooking of the Rabbit Mother’s Suicide Rabbit” without violating federal law. These products are heated by e-cigarettes to create inhaled aerosols.
Yolonda Richardson, president and CEO of the Tobacco-Free Children’s Campaign, called the decision a “major victory for American children’s health and working to protect them from flavored e-cigarettes that have exacerbated the crisis of nicotine addiction for youth.”
The FDA rejected applications for more than one million nicotine products that taste like fruit, dessert or candy because their manufacturers cannot show that flavored vapes vapes have a net public interest required by law.
It approved some tobacco-flavored vapes, and recently it allowed its first mint-flavored e-cigarette targeting adult smokers after the company provided data that showed the product was more helpful for exiting.
However, the conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals supported by Triton, agreeing that the FDA changed its standards with little warning to violating federal law.
The Supreme Court ruled primarily against the FDA on Wednesday, but the agency said the company’s marketing plan would be an important factor in evaluating its application. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court, but ultimately did not consider the marketing plan.
The Court of Appeal was ordered to consider whether it was not done so, which could still lead to Triton’s favorable decision.
To date, the FDA has not made any changes to its tobacco policy. But on Tuesday, the FDA’s top tobacco regulator, Brian Kingremoved from his post Federal health workforce This has cleared many of the leading health experts in the United States. The King oversees hundreds of warning letters sent to companies that make, sell and distribute flavored vapes.
