Bantam E-Cigarettes Receives FDA PMTA Approval
Bantam receives FDA approval for its PMTA application, allowing its nicotine oil products to proceed to scientific review.

Bantam e-cigarettes have received permission from the US FDA for their pre-market tobacco product application (PMTA). The application for Bantam's non-tobacco nicotine e-liquids will now move to the next stage of the PMTA process, undergoing initial scientific review to confirm that all necessary items are included in the application for the FDA's substantive review.


On May 13th, 2022, Bantam submitted an application to the FDA for non-tobacco nicotine e-liquid and is seeking approval for market release from the organization.


Anthony Dillon, spokesperson for Bantam, stated that receiving this acceptance letter reflects Bantam's efforts to provide high-quality, science-based e-liquids for adult consumers while also maintaining our responsibility to restrict access and usage of these products by young people. Bantam continues to support the necessary regulation of e-liquids based on scientific evidence and is proud of our various PMTA advancements. We remain confident in the quality, consistency, and scientific foundation of our products.


Prior to the submission focused on non-tobacco nicotine, Bantam submitted a PMTA for tobacco-derived e-liquids to the FDA in September 2020. The application underwent scientific review in August 2021 and is currently still under FDA consideration.


Earlier this year, this e-liquid manufacturer received an exemption from the United States Postal Service (USPS), allowing the company to ship its e-liquid products to specific e-cigarette retailers and distributors across the United States.

Special Report|AIR H1 Revenue Rises 3.7% as Shisha Volumes Fall 9%, Testing Its Shift Beyond Traditional Hookah
AIR’s first half-year results as a listed company offer a new test of how far a traditional hookah business can transform. H1 2026 revenue rose 3.7%, even as Flavored Shisha Molasses shipments fell 9%, with pricing and mix supporting growth. Traditional shisha still generates almost all revenue, while OOKA, Crown Switch, Greentank and U.S. regulatory spending point to accelerating diversification. The next test is whether those investments can become a second business of meaningful scale and profitability.
