Under a new law that took effect this week, the Food and Drug Administration can crack down on vaping companies that use synthetic nicotine,The new law closed a loophole that certain companies had exploited to avoid oversight of their products, including flavored e-cigarette company Puff Bar.: Originally, FDA oversight of cigarettes and related products pertained solely to tobacco-based nicotine.
The change, which Congress passed in March, gives the FDA the authority to regulate all forms of nicotine. While the measure doesn’t outlaw synthetic nicotine products automatically, companies are now required to register with the FDA and submit their products for review within 30 days. The new law also subjects synthetic nicotine products to the same age limit and sales restrictions as natural tobacco products.. However, the ban didn’t apply to disposable e-cigarettes and other vaping devices.
