FDA’s Authorization of High-Nicotine Vuse E-Cigarette Leaves Kids at Risk of Addiction

October 12, 2021
Statement of Matthew L. Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids

 WASHINGTON, D.C. – While it is a positive step that FDA denied applications for 10 flavored Vuse e-cigarettes, it is concerning that a product that has three times the nicotine concentration as legally permitted in Canada, the UK and Europe was authorized. Vuse products with this level of nicotine leave our nation’s youth at an undue risk of addiction.
