The 2025 National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a record low but persistent 5.2% youth e-cig use, intensifying American Lung Association demands for FDA to reverse its flavored vape authorizations. This regulatory reversal could spawn new administrative law challenges and test the scope of FDA’s tobacco authority, especially given the nearly 90% flavor preference among underage users. Legal experts weigh the viability of forced authorization revocations against public health considerations.
