FDA approves first flavored e-cigarettes from Glas Inc. with age-restriction requirements

The FDA on Tuesday authorized marketing for four fruit-flavored vaping products made by Glas Inc., marking the first approval of non-tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes in the United States. The agency implemented age-verification requirements using government-issued ID to restrict access to minors. Both outlets report the approval occurred amid political pressure, though details on the source and nature of that pressure differ.
