Supreme Court Signals Support for FDA's Stance on Flavored Vapes

The Supreme Court appears likely to uphold the FDA's authority over nicotine vapes in the case FDA v. Wages and White Lion Investments, rejecting a challenge that claims the FDA engaged in "regulatory switcheroos." The case highlights potential shifts in judicial attitudes towards federal agencies, especially if more conservative justices are appointed. The FDA has been regulating flavored vapes under a 2009 law, approving some flavors while rejecting others deemed appealing to teens. The Court's decision is expected to support the FDA's regulatory role, despite some justices questioning procedural aspects.
