"The fate of vaping in America is on a cliff-edge and according to America’s leading advocacy group is now in a “dire” state of affairs with vape companies, manufacturers and stores likely to be shutting down in their “droves”.
The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association – CASAA – also told me they are expecting a black market of vape gear and e-liquids to flourish following the legal ruling announced by a federal judge last week. Sadly they believe there’s very little that can be done to change the new legislation meaning vaping as America knows it today is close to being wiped out.
This pessimistic view comes after a federal court judge ruled last Friday that vape companies have just 10 months to submit the so called Pre-Market Tobacco Product Applications [PMTA].
Failure to comply with this expensive and time consuming red-tape will mean NO vape product will be allowed to be sold in the USA without one.
This will obviously have a devastating impact on thousands of vape companies – large and small who simply cannot afford the staggering fees attached to a single PMTA which the FDA says could cost over $460,000 each.
