The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized several tobacco-flavored vaping products made by the company Logic, and added that it would soon announce whether other big-name brands can continue to sell their products in this country.
“We know that there is a demand among adult smokers to use e-cigarette products to try to switch from more harmful combusted cigarettes, but millions of youth are using these products and getting addicted to nicotine," FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf noted in an agency."The balance of these issues was considered by the agency’s career scientists when evaluating the potential marketing of e-cigarette products.
While the FDA approved several tobacco-flavored products from Logic, it said no to some of the company's other products and has yet to make a decision on others, including some with menthol. "This is yet another baby step when, unfortunately, our babies which have become young adults are getting addicted every day to more and more of these products," Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, told"Today's decision authorizing a tobacco-flavored e-cigarette that is not widely used by either adults or youth doesn't set any new precedent," Myers said."The most important decisions are still sitting in front of the FDA.
