Cracking down on illicit vape products protects consumers and responsible retailers
Georgia Retailers emphasizes the FDA's role in regulating legal e-cigarette products while highlighting the threat from illicit vape shops selling untaxed, unregulated products. The FDA has authorized only 45 vaping products nationwide, but unauthorized products like those containing the synthetic chemical 6MN, designed to circumvent laws, are prevalent. These illicit products, often marketed with candy flavors, pose public health risks and undermine compliant retailers.
