The FDA announced a proposal Wednesday for new restrictions on flavored e-cigarette sales in an effort to stop a recent rise in youth vaping.
In a statement announcing the new regulations, FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb expressed his hopes that the FDA’s efforts will allay the “epidemic-level rise in youth e-cigarette use” and put the US back on track to overcoming “one of the most pernicious public health challenges of our times–the death and disease caused by cigarette smoking.”
