E-cigarettes will face strict new limits imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to a senior FDA official, restricting sales of many popular fruit flavours amid what the agency has called an epidemic of youth use. Sales of popular e-cigarette fruit flavours will be limited to adult-only establishments, such as vaping stores. The restrictions will apply only to cartridge-style devices, such as a popular product from startup Juul Labs Inc., according to the official. The FDA is planning on requiring strict limits on the sale of most flavoured e-cigarettes, including age verification controls for online sales, in an effort to curtail their use among children and teenagers. “It’s not enough,” said Meredith Berkman, co-founder of Parents Against Vaping E-Cigarettes.
