On Wednesday, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission issued its second report on the sales and advertising of e-cigarettes. The report "shows a significant increase in sales of flavored disposable e-cigarettes and menthol e-cigarette pods in 2020", despite the federal ban on flavored e-cigarette pods.
According to the FTC, the report indicated that the usage of e-cigarettes among adolescents has shifted towards alternative products instead of decreasing.
The director of the Consumer Protection Bureau at the Federal Trade Commission, Samuel Levine, stated: "This report indicates that teenagers are still at risk of purchasing flavored or discounted electronic cigarettes." "The facts prove that e-cigarette retailers are performing well in avoiding FDA regulation and producing addictive products for young people.
The release of this report comes at a time when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is taking action against electronic cigarettes. The agency recently forced the prominent e-cigarette company JUUL to remove some of its products from the market, although this decision has been challenged in court.
