Truth Initiative: What Products are Still Allowed Under the New Flavored e-cigarette Policy?

The new federal policy on flavored e-cigarettes, which went into effect in February, is a far cry from the total ban on flavored e-cigarettes that the president proposed in September 2019 to stem the alarming rise of youth vaping. It limits flavors just for specific e-cigarette devices, creating as many loopholes as restrictions.
 
The new Food and Drug Administration policy only prohibits flavors, with an exemption for the popular flavor menthol, in e-cigarette products that use closed-system e-liquid cartridges. That means menthol flavors in all forms, including JUUL pods, and all flavored liquid nicotine like cotton candy and gummy bear used in disposables and refillable cartridges can remain on the market. Disposables like Puff Bars may become an increasingly popular e-cigarette because of its variety of flavors like O.M.G. (orange, mango, guava) and sour apple.
