Charlie's Holdings, Inc. is pleased with recent guidance from Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banning e-cigarette pod flavors other than Tobacco and Menthol, and clarified regulation around the legal sales of sweet and fruity flavored e-liquids. The latest vape regulatory guidance from FDA serves to bolster Charlie's business model, which focuses on providing high-quality, nicotine-only e-liquid for use in open-system vaping devices through its subsidiary company, Charlie's Chalk Dust (CCD). A recent survey completed by one of Charlie's Chalk Dust's chain of vape stores confirmed that consumers of Charlie's products are adult users, with an average age of 33, a consumer demographic focused on choice that is unaffected by recent age-related restrictions. The following are highlights from the recent article: FDA to Ban All E-Cigarette Pod Flavors except Tobacco and Menthol. Ban the sale of fruity flavors in cartridge-based e-cigarettes, but the restriction won't apply to open-system vaporizers commonly found at vape shops, according to people familiar with the matter. Open-system vaping devices aren't popular among children or teenagers, who tend to use vaporizers with prefilled cartridges; Open-system vaporizers are typically found in vape shops; Intended to curb a surge in underage vaping, would apply only to pod-based vaporizers such as those made by large closed-system manufacturers; Pull from the market all e-cigarette refillable pods except those formulated to taste like tobacco or menthol; The sweet and fruity flavors that would be banned under the new policy represented about 80% of retail store e-cigarette sales in 2019, according to analyst estimates; E-cigarette makers can apply to FDA for permission to bring flavored products back on the market. To do so, they must demonstrate that the products provide a net benefit to public health; By May, manufacturers must submit for FDA to review any vaping products they want to remain on the market beyond that point, even those that taste like menthol and tobacco.
