Adhering to FDA Guidelines
All FDA-authorized Vuse products strictly adhere to a tobacco-only flavor profile, aligning with FDA restrictions on e-cigarette flavors. However, they offer a range of nicotine concentrations to cater to varying user preferences and needs.
Tadeu Marroco, CEO of British American Tobacco, highlighted the significance of this expanded portfolio, stating, “We currently have the largest portfolio of e-cigarette market authorizations available in the U.S., which will help us offer more potential reduced-risk product options to adult smokers.”
This development marks a crucial step in the e-cigarette industry’s evolution. Manufacturers continue to navigate regulatory requirements while addressing adult smokers’ needs for potentially less harmful alternatives to traditional cigarettes.
