Public health groups have sued the Food and Drug Administration over its policy regarding flavored e-cigarettes. The lawsuit challenges the agency's regulatory approach to these products.
The legal action comes amid reported dissatisfaction from e-cigarette executives with the F.D.A.'s stance. According to accounts of their activities, some executives have engaged in direct lobbying efforts and donations directed at President Trump regarding the agency's position.
In response to the F.D.A. policy, major e-cigarette companies have already begun preparing and shipping new products, suggesting they are moving forward with business operations in anticipation of or reaction to the regulatory environment.
