5月5日(路透社)——美国食品药品监督管理局周二批准果味电子烟上市,这是该局首次批准非烟草味电子烟产品,此前该机构面临持续升级的政治压力。

FDA表示,获批的烟弹来自洛杉矶的小型电子烟制造商格拉斯公司(Glas Inc),该公司使用年龄验证技术管控设备,获批口味包括经典薄荷醇、清新薄荷醇、金色和蓝宝石味。

FDA表示:“FDA对这些产品进行了严格的科学审查,认定申请人充分证明,格拉斯公司的设备访问限制技术,加上FDA要求的营销限制,有望有效减少青少年使用该产品的可能性。”

当天早些时候,《华尔街日报》报道称,唐纳德·特朗普总统上周末批评FDA局长马蒂·马卡里(Marty Makary)在批准调味电子烟和尼古丁产品方面行动不够迅速。

美国监管机构此前一直拒绝为电子烟颁发销售许可,FDA也曾表示,对于同时对青少年有强烈吸引力的电子烟口味,比如水果或糖果味,将继续要求申请人提供大量证据,证明此类产品对吸烟者有益。

不过,今年早些时候,该机构调整了其对调味电子烟的严格政策,这一转变紧随烟草行业游说力度加大以及要求更多产品上市的政治压力而来。

随着此次最新批准,FDA目前已在美国市场批准了45款电子烟产品。

May 5 (Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday allowed the marketing of fruit-flavored e-cigarettes in a first ​authorization of non-tobacco-flavored vaping products, amid mounting political ‌pressure on the agency.

The authorized pods from Los Angeles-based Glas Inc, a small vape maker that uses technology to age-gate its ​devices, include flavors such as Classic Menthol, Fresh ​Menthol, Gold and Sapphire, the FDA said.

“The FDA’s rigorous, ⁠scientific review of these products found that the ​applicant sufficiently demonstrated that Glas’s device access restriction technology, combined ​with FDA-required marketing restrictions, is expected to effectively mitigate the ability of youth to use the product,” the regulator said.

Earlier in the ​day, the Wall Street Journal reported that President Donald ​Trump over the weekend rebuked FDA Commissioner Marty Makary for not ‌moving ⁠quickly enough to approve flavored vapes and nicotine products.

U.S. regulators have avoided granting licenses to vapes, and the FDA has said it would continue to require a heavy ​burden of evidence ​of benefits ⁠to smokers for vape flavors that also have strong appeal to youth, such as ​fruit or candy flavors.

However, earlier this year, the ​agency tweaked ⁠its strict approach to flavored vapes, a shift that follows intensifying tobacco industry lobbying and political pressure to allow ⁠more ​products to market.

With the latest decision, ​the FDA has now authorized 45 e-cigarette products for sale in the ​U.S.
