U.S. FDA Authorized E-Cigarette List Explained: 39 Legal Products and Industry Insights
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (established in 2009), created the PMTA (Premarket Tobacco Product Application) framework. Through this scientific review system, FDA evaluates whether e-cigarettes provide harm reduction value for adult smokers while minimizing risks to non-smokers, particularly youth, in order to determine if a product is “Appropriate for the Protection of Public Health” (APPH).
Only products that pass the PMTA review with sufficient scientific evidence are legally permitted to be marketed in the United States.
