WASHINGTON: The US Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that health authorities acted properly when they blocked e-cigarette companies from marketing fruit- and dessert-flavored flavors.
The court´s six conservative and three liberal judges upheld the Food and Drug Administration´s argument that these products could be addictive for young people who like sweet flavors in vaping devices.
Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered gadgets that produce an inhalable vapor by heating a nicotine-laden liquid.
