“The veto is for voters and money—keep people from feeling the need to vote for marijuana and get the hemp industry to contribute the money to help fight the amendment,” an unnamed source close to the governor told CBS News.
On June 7, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed SB 1698, the bill that would have banned the sale of delta 8 THC and other hemp-derived cannabinoids.
“While Senate Bill 1698’s goals are commendable,” DeSantis wrote in a letter to the Florida secretary of state, “the bill would, in fact, impose debilitating regulatory burdens on small businesses and almost certainly fail to achieve its purposes. Senate Bill 1698 would introduce dramatic disruption and harm to many small retail and manufacturing businesses in Florida—businesses that have emerged due to recent legislation paving the way for the commercial use of hemp”
The governor encouraged the state legislature to revisit the issue next session, and suggested imposing product standards aimed at packaging and “accurate labeling, including cannabinoid content, sourcing information, health claims, and. dosing instructions.”
DeSantis’ veto message did not mention the November ballot initiative that would, if passed by 60 percent of voters, legalize recreational marijuana sales in the state. DeSantis opposes legalization.
June 4, 2024
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is reportedly planning to veto a bill that would ban the sale of delta 8 THC and other federally legal hemp-derived cannabinoids. The bill, SB 1698, passed both houses of the Florida state legislature on March 6, but has still not been formally sent to the governor.
DeSantis believes a veto will persuade the hemp industry to help defeat a November ballot initiative (Amendment 3) that would amend the Florida constitution to allow recreational marijuana sales, according to CBS News Miami.
DeSantis opposes legalizing marijuana. He apparently believes people who use delta 8 and other hemp-derived products will be less motivated to vote for Amendment 3 if they have continued access to delta 8.
“The veto is for voters and money—keep people from feeling the need to vote for marijuana and get the hemp industry to contribute the money to help fight the amendment,” an unnamed source close to the governor told CBS News.
In Florida—and many states—the regulated marijuana industry and the hemp industry are political and economic rivals. The Florida delta 8 ban is supported by medical marijuana businesses and wealthy outside interests planning to enter the lucrative recreational market if Amendment 3 is approved in the
About two dozen U.S. states have banned or restricted the sale of delta 8 THC or hemp-derived cannabinoids in general, often with the support of the regulated marijuana industry. Some states have limited the sale of hempbased intoxicants to stateregulated marijuana dispensaries.
November election. They see the intoxicating hemp products sold over the counter in many retail outlets as trespassers on their rightful commercial interests.
A ban on popular hemp-based products would affect numerous businesses in the country’s third-most populous state, including hemp farmers, manufacturers and distributors, and retail outlets like vape shops and convenience stores. It would also affect a growing number of residents who use hemp derivatives to treat anxiety and other medical conditions.
If SB 1698 becomes law, it would ban the sale of delta 8—the most popular intoxicating hemp product—and other hemp-derived cannabinoids like HHC, delta 10 THC, THC-O, THCP, and THCV, as well as all synthetic cannabinoids. The bill also defines allowable delta 9 THC levels in hemp-based products, sets the legal age to buy hemp-based products to 21, and prohibits products that could be confused with food items and packaging “attractive to children.”
About two dozen U.S. states have banned or restricted the sale of delta 8 THC or hempderived cannabinoids in general, often with the support of the regulated marijuana industry. Some states have limited the sale of hempbased intoxicants to state-regulated marijuana dispensaries.
Hemp and marijuana are the same plant (Cannabis sativa). Cannabis plants containing less than 0.3 percent delta 9 THC by weight are considered hemp by the federal government, and regulated as an agricultural product under the 2018 Farm Bill. Plants containing over 0.3 percent delta 9 are federally illegal marijuana.
Approval of the November ballot initiative, known as the Marijuana Legalization Initiative or Amendment 3, requires yes votes from 60 percent of voters. It would make adults 21 and over able to legally possess up to three ounces of marijuana with up to five grams in the form of concentrates.
The amendment would allow current medical marijuana facilities to sell recreational products, and give the state legislature power to license additional cultivation and retail businesses.
Polls on the initiative show a variety of possible outcomes, according to Marijuana Moment.

VTA’s Executive Director testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing focused on FDA’s tobacco market regulatory failures.
In his testimony, Tony highlighted how FDA’s failed approach causes real harm to millions of Americans.
T“he FDA has not done its job as a regulator. And now it wants more funding to enforce the very actions which federal courts have declared as illegal while the FDA is asking for Supreme Court review. To be clear, the FDA has repeatedly stated that every single vaping product on the market is illegal regardless of whether the company has a pending application. That means FDA is enforcing prohibition. You can give it all the enforcement power in the world, but prohibition cannot be enforced.
Instead of pursuing enforcement action based on failed regulatory policy, the FDA must reverse course, make harm reduction its north star and authorize a wide variety of less harmful nicotine products. Filling the market with such flavored products which American adult consumers are clearly demanding is the only way curb illicit demand and give Americans what they need, want, and what the law intended them to have..

The FDA has authorized four menthol-flavored NJOY vaping products, allowing their sale in the United States. The four products are the first non-tobacco flavored vapes granted marketing permission by the agency, and the first vaping products of any kind authorized in over two years.
The products are NJOY ACE menthol pods in 2.4 and 5 percent nicotine strengths, and the NJOY DAILY Menthol (4.5 percent) and NJOY DAILY EXTRA Menthol (6 percent). The NJOY ACE device was granted marketing authorization in April 2022, along with three tobacco-flavored refill pods. The FDA also authorized tobacco-flavored versions of the two NJOY DAILY disposables in 2022.
NJOY submitted marketing applications for the products before the September 2020 submission deadline, meaning they have been under review for about four years. Millions of flavored vaping products made by small independent manufacturers were denied review—or received marketing denial orders (MDOs) after the FDA conducted comical cookie-cutter reviews— within a year after the submission deadline.
“It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide the necessary evidence to obtain marketing authorization, and the FDA has made clear what’s needed to successfully achieve that outcome,” said Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) Director Brian King in a press release. “This action is further reinforcement that authorization of an e-cigarette product is possible when sufficient scientific evidence has been submitted to the agency to justify it.”
King may have to explain to a court soon what evidence NJOY provided in its premarket tobacco applications (PMTAs) that other manufacturers didn’t. The FDA has previously issued MDOs for menthol products nearly identical to the NJOY ACE and DAILY products, including menthol refills for three different authorized R.J. Reynolds Vuse devices and two authorized Logic devices.
Those MDOs have all been challenged in federal court. Logic lost its MDO appeal in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, but has petitioned the Supreme Court to review the decision. The Reynolds cases have been consolidated and stayed by the Fifth Circuit until the Supreme Court considers (or refuses to consider) the FDA’s petition in the Triton Distribution MDO appeal
The FDA’s NJOY menthol decision was announced just a day after the Supreme Court held a conference to discuss four petitions involving challenges to the FDA’s chaotic regulation of the vaping market, including the Logic and Triton cases. Former NJOY owners just earned a quick quarter-billion
when NJOY was bought by Marlboromanufacturer Altria Group for $2.75 billion in March 2023, the purchase agreement specified that an additional $250 million would be paid to NJOY’s owners if the FDA eventually authorized the NJOY ACE menthol pod in 5 percent strength.
For those keeping track, the four newly authorized NJOY products will be added to the FDA’s deceptive “authorized e-cigarette list,” in which the agency previously claimed to have given marketing permission to 23 “e-cigarettes and devices.”
The FDA list, however, includes a heated tobacco product and two refills (not an e-liquid-based e-cigarette), duplicate entries for one Vuse device, and another Vuse product (and its refills) no longer for sale.
With the new products added, here is the complete list of authorized e-liquid-based vapes that are currently sold in U.S. stores:
Pro + two tobacco-flavored refills
DAILYtobacco and menthol versions
Solo + two tobacco-flavored refills
Logic Pro + two tobacco-flavored refills
NJOY DAILY EXTRA- tobacco and menthol versions
Vibe + one tobacco-flavored
NJOY ACE+ three tobacco-flavored refills and two menthol refills
All the products authorized by the FDA are produced by manufacturers owned by Big Tobacco companies: Logic (Japan Tobacco), NJOY (Altria), and Vuse (R.J. Reynolds).
The agency has not authorized a single product in a flavor other than tobacco or menthol, a single open-system (refillable) product, or a single bottled e-liquid. Dozens of small American manufacturers have challenged the FDA’s denial orders in federal court.
The agency has not authorized a single product in a flavor other than tobacco or menthol
Vape Products: The FDA’s previous stringent regulations on vape products may be reconsidered or challenged in court.
Compliance and Enforcement: Smoke shops might face less regulatory pressure and more clarity in compliance requirements.
Strategic Planning: With a more predictable regulatory environment, smoke shops can engage in long-term planning and investment.
Advocacy and Influence: There is a greater opportunity for industry leaders to advocate for favorable interpretations of laws.
Legal Battles: The shift in power may lead to increased legal challenges and a need for robust legal strategies.
Uncertainty: Until new precedents are set, there may be a period of uncertainty as courts take on a larger role in interpreting regulations.
Fighting for Science-Based Policies that Ensure The Continued Availability of Less Harmful Nicotine Products
For nearly a decade, the Vapor Technology Association has been at the forefront of defending the vapor industry and the rights of adult consumers to choose their preferred alternative to cigarettes. VTA engages directly with policy makers and the media, through its multiple federal lobbying, state lobbying and public affairs teams, to shape the future of vaping and nicotine policy in Washington DC and throughout the country.
Around 2010, vapor products emerged as a safer alternative to smoking and gained popularity among consumers. Regulators took notice and were quick to initiate sweeping regulations. Hoping to create a clear voice for thoughtful regulation in Washington, DC, the Vapor Technology Association (VTA) was founded by a group of concerned vapor companies in 2015.
Since then, VTA grew to become a leading national trade association defending the industry. VTA advocates for rational science-
based regulation of the alternative nicotine products industry to ensure that we achieve the twin goals of preserving adult access to a wide variety of nicotine products while at the same time preventing youth access.
VTA has been on the forefront of every issue confronting the industry and we are committed to continue our efforts to create a rational, transparent and fair market place for our members to operate.
VTA is run by a group of dedicated professionals with a unique blend of government affairs, public policy, legal and communications experience. We are committed to ensuring the vapor industry continues to thrive and innovate.

The Vapor Technology Association advocates for rational, science-based regulation which is essential for the health of our industry.
Since its founding, VTA has actively engaged on the critical issues confronting our industry and has sought ways to ensure that our members and our industry will continue to thrive.
VTA has consistently focused on the following key policy issues:
Our top priority is to limit the appeal and access to vapes by minors. VTA pioneered tough industry marketing standards in 2018 and, in 2019, successfully advocated to raise the age to buy tobacco products to 21 instead of banning flavors federally.
VTA has a concrete plan for eliminating improper marketing and limiting youth access to flavored vaping products. We know that the vast majority of youth vaping access is occurring at non-age restricted retail locations. We can do more to limit access to flavored vape products to adult-only shops in addition to implementing additional access restrictions.
VTA’s plan includes passing laws that strongly restrict industry marketing that appeals to underage customers, rather than the faux issue of flavors. VTA supports legislation that would eliminate advertising on TV and at events where youth would be a key demographic; the use of terms relating to candy and desserts, like cotton candy and gummy bear; and the use of cartoons, superheroes or other images, that typically target minors, among other things.
VTA also supports legislation that would eliminate straw-man sellers, since we know the majority of youth illegally purchase vapes, alcohol and cannabis through social sources; would require age verification technology for every retail sale; would reduce the FDA’s lenient seven – strikes to three-strikes and you’re out
for illegal retail sales since we know that vape stores do an excellent job age gating. Most importantly, we support legislation that would restrict the sale of flavored vaping products to adult-only stores. This will protect youth and will preserve choices for adults.
Federal regulation must be balanced. The FDA and Congress must change their current approach and implement regulatory policies that will protect the more than 30 million Americans who still smoke cigarettes, and particularly the 480,000 who die every year from smoking, at the same time as they act to protect youth.
When tobacco-control scientists from the top scientific society on tobacco and nicotine say that US regulators’ “singular focus” on youth is endangering public health, US regulators must take notice. To date, federal regulators have been driven by overstated fears surrounding youth vaping and “big tobacco” and are missing the enormous public health benefits that are created by vaping and other novel nicotine products. VTA agrees with these leading tobacco-control scientists that rebalancing our policies on e-cigarettes is a top priority.
The core of VTA’s efforts is providing the facts and science that underscore the importance of adopting policies, laws and regulations that promote vaping products as alternatives to smoking combustible cigarettes. Policymakers must examine vaping issues from the harmreduction perspective. This means grounding decisions in the reality that vapor products are safer alternatives to combustible cigarettes.
Unfortunately, 34 million adults are still addicted to cigarettes – the only product which when used as intended will kill you. Nearly 1,300 Americans die every day from smoking – 475,000 people annually. This is COVID scale event – every two years!
It is well documented that adult consumer preference for flavored e-cigarettes plays a significant role in encouraging smokers to switch to less harmful vaping. In a world where adults have access to flavored cannabis and flavored alcohol -they should have access to flavored cigarette alternatives to move them off of what remains the leading cause of death among adults.
People who smoke want flavor options as they move away from tobacco. Scientific studies and surveys make this fact clear. The FDA’s campaign to remove flavored vapes from the market will only lead to an increase in smoking and the creation of unregulated black and gray markets. Instead of ineffective flavor bans, the FDA should prioritize the removal of flavors like menthol from cigarettes while preserving flavored vaping alternatives for adults through adult-only stores.
Technological innovations in vaping devices have finally given smokers myriad effective alternatives to cigarettes that also happen to be at least twice as effective at helping smokers quit as FDA’s approved drug therapies. Now, synthetic nicotine – the cleanest and purest form of nicotine on the market – represents the first innovation in nicotine itself. Yet, these innovations are prevented from being sold in the U.S. by FDA’s inflexible application of its own regulatory requirements.
Synthetic nicotine products are an innovation in nicotine and can deliver nicotine devoid of cancer-causing nitrosamines, carcinogens, heavy metals and pesticides because it is manufactured in pharmaceutical-laboratory type settings. The FDA should use its new authority to regulate synthetic nicotine and create a marketplace that offers smokers the opportunity to completely break from tobacco. At the same time, the FDA needs to allow companies to modify products with safety innovations, such as battery or technological improvement, without having to repeat the lengthy and costly premarket review process.
VTA believes that smart public policy ensures that adult consumers can access their products through both brick and mortar and online channels of commerce.
Some try to pit the channels against each other, but VTA opposes these actions. Brick and mortar stores selling vapor products are a critical piece of the harm reduction equation since it is these (typically adult only stores) that smokers trying to quit can share information about their challenges. At the same time, adult consumers should not be punished if they live too far away from, or are home bound and can’t travel to a brick and mortar store. Today, more than ever, senior citizens should not be forced to travel just to be able to purchase the vapor products they are using to stay off of cigarettes. For these reasons, VTA fights to protect the consumers’ rights to access products both online and at retail.
The Vapor Technology Association (VTA) has been instrumental in advocating for reasonable regulations and defending the rights of the vape industry. Recently, VTA’s Executive Director testified before Congress, highlighting the FDA’s
regulatory failures and the need for a harm reduction approach. “The FDA has not done its job as a regulator...Instead of pursuing enforcement action based on failed regulatory policy, the FDA must reverse course, make harm reduction its north star and authorize a wide variety of less harmful nicotine products,” emphasized Tony Abboud, VTA’s Executive Director.
The VTA’s dedication to promoting harm reduction and advocating for the industry has played a crucial role in influencing legislative and regulatory changes. Their efforts ensure that smoke shop professionals have a voice in the ongoing regulatory discourse. By standing up for the industry’s interests, the VTA helps create a more balanced and fair regulatory environment.
The Supreme Court’s Chevron ruling is a game-changer for the vape and smoke shop industry. By limiting the FDA’s power, it opens up a more balanced and fair regulatory environment. Smoke shop professionals must stay informed and proactive to navigate this new landscape successfully.
Courts will now have the final say in regulatory interpretations, reducing FDA’s unilateral power.
Increased opportunities for the industry to influence legal interpretations.
Potential for a more predictable and stable regulatory framework.
As we look ahead, it’s vital for all of us in the vape and smoke shop industry to stay proactive and engaged. Join us at the Alternative Products Expo in Atlanta on October 10-12 to dive deeper into these changes, connect with industry leaders, and explore the future of our industry. Let’s embrace this new era together and continue to push boundaries, innovate, and thrive.

The total number of companies receiving MDOs for flavored product Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs) is now 323. (An alphabetical list can be found at the end of this article.) The FDA says the denials cover nearly 1.2 million flavored products.
All of the new listings are small manufacturers. Since the FDA began issuing MDOs on Aug. 26, the vast majority have gone to small companies, with just a few issued to larger open-system manufacturers like Turning Point Brands and AVAIL Vapor. One publicly traded company that makes closed-system prefilled devices, Bidi Vapor, has also received MDOs for flavored products.
With the first MDO’s issued in August, the FDA also announced a new standard that requires PMTAs for flavored products other than tobacco and menthol to show “sufficient product-specific scientific evidence to demonstrate enough of a benefit to adult smokers that would overcome the risk posed to youth.” All of the marketing denials issued so far have been based on that previously unwritten standard. Since the Sept. 9, 2020 submission deadline for PMTAs, the FDA has issued no marketing authorizations for any vapor products. [EDITOR’S NOTE: On Oct. 12, the FDA issued marketing authorizations for the Vuse Solo and two tobaccoflavored cartridges.] The agency has also not made decisions on mass-market products from
Juul Labs, Reynolds American, NJOY, Logic, or Blu, which FDA Center for Tobacco Products Director Mitch Zeller said would be prioritized in the review process because of their popularity.
The FDA was expected to announce some decisions on the large manufacturers’ products by Sept. 9, 2021—the deadline for unauthorized products to be removed from the market. All vaping products made with tobacco-derived nicotine are now technically illegal to sell, and only exist on the market through FDA enforcement discretion. That includes tobaccoand menthol-flavored vaping products and flavored products like nicotine pouches. Some small manufacturers have begun reformulating their products with synthetic nicotine, which could skirt current FDA tobacco product authority. It isn’t known if the agency will attempt to regulate synthetic nicotine as a drug.
“The total number of companies receiving MDOs for flavored product Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs) is now 323”
Although the FDA says it has issued 323 MDOs, the agency’s published list contains just 260 names. The FDA says manufacturers that were issued denials for products not currently being marketed are not named.
We are updating the list by adding companies that receive MDOs after the first round—for
example, Fontem US and Juul Labs. We are also adding notes explaining MDOs that have been rescinded or vacated by court rulings.
The list is alphabetical, with the date the MDO was issued noted to the right of each name. All dates are from 2021 unless otherwise noted.
