A few years ago, there was an issue that was discussed in many parts of the world. Electronic cigarettes. . . In the content we shared with you, we talked about the problems caused by these products many times. While these problems appeared as explosions due to the use of poor quality batteries, sometimes they were diseases that people caught. But now, a remarkable news has come from the USA, which completely banned flavored electronic cigarettes in May 2019.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given approval for electronic cigarettes and liquids of a brand that are on sale in many parts of the country. In the statements made by the institution, it was stated that electronic cigarettes are not innocent, but they leave less toxic substances in the human body compared to normal cigarettes. In other words, these products used to quit smoking were much less harmful than regular cigarettes.
The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved for the first time a brand that produces an electronic cigarette:
In fact, electronic cigarettes are sold all over the USA. But there has been a debate about these products that has been going on for years. Here, the FDA has signed a first to eliminate this situation. As a result of the examinations, electronic cigarette products belonging to a brand and at least one kind of liquid that allows nicotine to be taken into the body were allowed. Authorities will try to expand the scope of this decision by requesting samples from many electronic cigarette and liquid brands on the market. However; It should be noted that even some liquids of the brand in question are not approved by the FDA. In other words, the content of these liquids is of critical importance for experts.
The sale of electronic cigarettes is prohibited in Turkey. So how does the decision taken in the USA affect this place?
Although the approval from the US Food and Drug Administration concerns the US market, the effects of this decision will also attract the attention of institutions in other countries. Since electronic cigarettes are not directly tobacco products, equivalent institutions in other countries, including Turkey, may act according to the reports of the FDA. For now, it seems too early to give clear information about this.
Although US officials have decided that electronic cigarettes are not as dangerous as regular cigarettes, the debate is not completely over. Because electronic cigarettes are common in many countries, especially among young people. Some people say that the decision was wrong and that electronic cigarettes, which will become more widespread due to the FDA, will be a new way of killing themselves for young people. However, we cannot say that these reactions are very logical. Although many countries do not speak up for the sale of electronic cigarettes, they have prevented the advertisements of these products. Blocking the delivery of products to children under the age of 18 seems likely to wreak havoc on the cigarette lobby and end all debate.
