This would apply to mint, fruit, and dessert flavors, but not menthol or tobacco-flavored products. Also, it would apply only to flavored cartridges, not open tank systems.

This action is intended to strike a balance between protecting youth from the health risks of vaping - including nicotine addiction - and allowing adult smokers to use e-cigarettes as a way to quit combustible cigarettes.

"The enforcement policy we're issuing today confirms our commitment to dramatically limit children's access to certain flavored e-cigarette products we know are so appealing to them - so-called cartridge-based products that are both easy to use and easily concealable," said FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen M. HahnTrusted Source in the news releaseTrusted Source.Cartridge-based e-cigarettes have long been popular among minors, as have nontobacco flavors.

Data from the 2019 National Youth Tobacco SurveyTrusted Source show that more than 5 million U.S. middle and high school students reported using an e-cigarette within the last 30 days. Nearly 60 percent of high school students who vaped used cartridge-based JUUL products.

Other research shows that the most popular e-cigarette flavor among high school students was mint, followed by mango and fruit.

Last fall, in anticipation of an FDA crackdown on flavored e-cigarette products, JUUL took most of its flavors off the market, although it continued to sell mint and menthol products.

The FDA emphasized that this week's action is not a "ban" on these products. Instead, the agency is enforcing its existing authority to regulate e-cigarettes.

Since 2016, all e-cigarettes have been required to seek "premarket authorization" from the FDA before being sold in the United States.

So far, no e-cigarettes have this approval - so all products on the market "are considered illegally marketed and are subject to enforcement, at any time, in the FDA's discretion," the agency wrote in its release.

The FDA, though, is currently reviewing several premarket applications for flavored e-cigarette products. If any of those applications are approved, the products could be legally sold in the United States.
