The FDA has authorized flavored vapes, although the specifics and implications of this decision are unclear. Some reports suggest that certain flavored vapes, including menthol e-cigarettes, have been approved, potentially to help adult smokers, while others indicate that a ban on certain e-cig cartridge flavors is still in effect. The move has sparked debate, with some arguing that the benefits of flavored vapes outweigh the risks, while others express concern about the potential consequences.
