FDA Updates Modified Risk Tobacco Product Orders for Swedish Match USA
FDA reissues two applications related to Swedish Match's General Snus products, extending public comment period for further review.

According to a news update on the official website of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 3, FDA has reissued two application documents related to the Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) order for Swedish Match USA, Inc.'s General Snus products. These reissued documents contain previously edited content and are now available for viewing on the Swedish Match MRTP application webpage.

 

In addition, the FDA has extended the public comment period for the Swedish Match Company's MRTP update application to allow the public more time to review the recently reissued application materials. The public can submit comments on the application on the regulations.gov webpage with the docket number FDA-2014-N-1051. The FDA will announce the deadline for the comment period after it is determined.

 

These application materials have been edited in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and can be found on the FDA's website. Before making a final decision on the MRTP application, the FDA will consider all available information, including public comments and recommendations from the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC).

Indiana Halts Sales of Elf Bar, Lost Mary, MR FOG and iJOY Vapes Under Foreign-Adversary Rules; Some Products Return After Compliance Filings
Indiana's Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC) ordered tobacco certificate holders in September to remove certain vaping products marketed under Elf Bar, Lost Mary, MR FOG, iJOY and other brands from inventory under the state's foreign-adversary product law. The agency later listed 257 MR FOG products and 77 Lost Mary product entries as lawful for sale. The Lost Mary revision expressly stated that compliance evidence had been received for 20 additional products. 2Firsts compliance expert Kurt said potential filings could include e-liquid and ingredient-origin records, U.S. nicotine-analog supply-chain documentation and FDA premarket application status.

Athletes Back Skoka's $21.5 Million Nicotine Pouch Venture: Can Its Consumer Health Founder Make an FDA-Focused Strategy Pay Off?
U.S. nicotine pouch startup Skoka Inc. has raised $21.5 million and committed $15 million to an FDA regulatory and scientific research program. Founder Dan Aziz previously built dietary supplement brand Premama, which was acquired by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories in 2023. Skoka is combining proprietary formulations, ingredient transparency and equity investment from professional athletes. The company submitted a bundled PMTA covering 55 products on October 1, 2026. Aziz said Skoka declined an opportunity to enter retail in 2025, prioritizing product research and regulatory submissions instead. It now targets a U.S. retail launch in 2027, subject to FDA requirements. Its products have not received marketing authorization.

South Korea Extends Vape Rules to Unmanned Stores After Bringing Synthetic Nicotine Under Tobacco Law
South Korea Extends Vape Rules to Unmanned Stores After Bringing Synthetic Nicotine Under Tobacco Law
South Korea's Ministry of Gender Equality and Family said on September 14 that it plans to designate unmanned e-cigarette stores as businesses where minors are prohibited from entering or working. Operators would be required to verify customers' ages and display notices restricting access by minors. The proposal is open for public comment through October 6. The move follows an April expansion of South Korea's statutory tobacco definition that brought products made with natural or synthetic nicotine under the Tobacco Business Act. Nicotine-free liquids and products using nicotine analogues such as 6-methylnicotine, however, remain an emerging regulatory issue.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.
