The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned sales of about 55,000 flavored e-cigarette products on Thursday because of the health threat they pose to American youth.
“The applications for about 55,000 flavored ENDS products from three applicants lacked sufficient evidence that [e-cigarettes] have a benefit to adult smokers sufficient to overcome the public health threat posed by the well-documented, alarming levels of youth use of such products,” the federal agency wrote in an Aug. 26 statement.
