Feb. 5th is the Last Day to Buy Flavored Vape Pods

After Feb. 5, FDA will enforce a ban on prefilled pod- and cartridge-based vaping products in flavors other than tobacco and menthol.

The change is not a new rule, but simply a change in FDA’s enforcement priorities. All vaping products currently exist on the market only because the agency has not prioritized their removal. By May 11, all products must submit Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs) or be removed from the (legal) market. The new guidance does not affect bottled e-liquid or vaping devices that are not sold already containing e-juice. It also exempts disposable e-cigarettes, like the NJOY Daily and disposables sold by blu and smaller companies like White Cloud. Contrary to claims by politicians like Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, anti-vaping groups like Truth Initiative, and even the New York Times, the “disposable loophole” does not exempt recently introduced pod-shaped disposables like Puff Bars from enforcement. Any vaping product that came to market after Aug. 8, 2016 is already subject to immediate enforcement. That means that FDA doesn’t need to issue specific guidance to remove the popular new disposables.
