The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday said it was banning the sale of Reynolds American Vuse Alto menthol e-cigarettes, saying the risk to kids outweighs any benefit to adult smokers.
The FDA said its ban includes three menthol-flavored and three mixed berry-flavored products, each offered in three different nicotine strengths. The agency is continuing to weigh whether to let the company’s tobacco flavors stay on the market.
Let’s regulate nicotine products similar to alcohol products. No one has a complaint about mixed berry flavored vodkas. Nicotine doesn’t cause the societal problems that alcohol does, like domestic violence, drunk driving, alcoholism.
