Per the deeming authority Congress granted @US_FDA - most all ecigs / nicotine vape products are currently on the market illegally- including kid appealing flavors. The rapid spike in youth use (which now almost no one denies) has forced action. Flavors 1st, then all products.
However per the law and the deeming rule, any company can apply to the FDA for approval of vape products – including flavors. So from a federal standpoint, THERE IS NO “BAN.” If manufacturers/ retailers/ consumers want continued access, submit an application & make the case.
Vaping is a multi billion $ industry (much of that 
made selling to kids). If one really believes these products help people quit, it would be best for all if that 
funded US studies & applications for approval as Congress dictates, vs lobbying for continued illegal access.
As USSG I want to find the right balance - between the data and science on all sides, and the law. 1st we must strive to follow the law as Congress dictates. 2nd we can’t ignore proven epidemic youth use. 3rd, must make the science (in US environment) & legal cessation case.
So to vaping industry/ retailers/ advocates/ researchers- collect the data, do/ fund the studies, & make the proper legal case as the law requires. But asking @US_FDA to not enforce/ allow continued illegal (per @FDACommissioner) access when youth are harmed isn’t reasonable.
There is a policy to ‘clear flavored e-cigarettes from the market’ in the next few weeks. The products will go from available to unavailable because of a policy change. You can pretend otherwise, but to users it looks identical to a ban ordered by executive decree.
Oh, you mean...like JUUL...the brand that kids <3 for the buzz...the brand that is actually loved by government and PHINO agencies & NGOs...
All that will be left is big tobacco companies, when you & your colleagues are done.

Well, since @JUULvapor is just waiting to be asked to join the MSA, Marlboro Shield Agreement so they can get into the back pocket of these groups it will be Big Tobacco and Juul in a smokey orgy of corruption with the #PHINO groups and NGOs.
FDA took over 3 YEARS to finalize their PMTA guidelines for vaping products, finally came out in June. Sure, it’s technically not a “ban,” just an impossible hurdle for any vape companies to clear due to timeframe and cost. But guess who can afford it? Philip Morris. 
Estimated cost: $500,000 per application, 1-2 year wait to see IF approved, Can't sell product in interim. SO FROM A SMALL BUSINESS STANDPOINT this is definitely a "de facto" ban. Only Big Tobacco/Pharma can wait out your temporary ban and you know it. Quit obfuscating the truth!
WRONG,TRUTH:3 simple Facts: 1: Mom and Pops Created the Vaping Nicotine industry! We entered the US in 2009, Zero Health Issues for 10 Years, with Flavors.2: 2016, Juul enters w/high Nic(never seen)Huge Teen Use for the Buzz! 3 mo ago Bad THC carts kill ppl. Mom/pops Blamed. Sham
