FDA approves two Vuse e-cigarette models

May.13.2022
FDA approves PMTA review for Vuse brand e-cigarettes - Vibe and Ciro, but not for the popular Alto product.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved PMTA applications for two Vuse brand e-cigarettes, Vibe and Ciro. However, Vuse's best-selling product, Alto, is still undergoing PMTA review.

 

Two models of electronic cigarettes, each with two corresponding battery types, as well as accompanying closed tobacco-flavored pods (Vibe with 3% nicotine, Ciro with 1.5% nicotine), have also been approved.

 

However, Vuse Vibe and Vuse Ciro flavors other than tobacco have not passed PMTA review, meaning they cannot be legally sold.

 

The Vuse Vibe and Ciro devices are outdated models with low sales in the market. In contrast, the NJOY Ace approved through PMTA in April is a more popular product in the market.

 

Earlier, two Vuse products received PMTA approval: the Vuse Solo in October 2021 and the Vuse Logic in March 2022.
