Protecting Youth: Targeting Appropriate E-Cigarette Users
In May 2018, FDA, in conjunction with FTC, initiated enforcement actions aimed at addressing youth use of nicotine, and e-vapor products in particular, including issuing warning letters to companies for selling e-liquids resembling juice boxes and to retailers for selling popular nicotine products to underage youth. In this session, panelists will discuss these enforcement actions, the role of FDA and industry to address the use of tobacco products by kids, and the threat youth uptake poses to the role these products could play in tobacco harm reduction.
