Regulatory report: synthetic nicotine products – what’s next?

The new US federal legislation has brought synthetic nicotine products under the oversight of the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), meaning all synthetic nicotine products have to go through a premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) process. This has led to several questions this report addresses, such as: what the new federal legislation means for synthetic nicotine products; what the concerns were that spurred this legislation; what the next steps will be for synthetic nicotine products; whether there any products that currently do not fit the definition, or whether all products will fall under FDA oversight, and a look into enforcement to see how the market is really going to play out.
