FDA Regulatory Notice: As of September 2026, approximately 95 tobacco products from 11 companies have received FDA PMTA marketing authorization. The majority of vaping products on the market have not received FDA authorization, and their legal status varies by jurisdiction.
State Law Notice: Several states, including California, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Washington, DC, maintain flavor bans or other restrictions on vaping products. Always check your local laws before purchasing or selling tobacco products.
