Will the FDA authorize new v**e flavors?
The Food and Drug Administration released draft guidance this week suggesting the agency may soon authorize additional v**e flavors for sale.

The news has rankled public health experts, who worry the new flavors — including coffee, mint, and cinnamon — will attract children and undo the progress the U.S. has made reducing youth e-cigarette usage. The guidance isn’t finalized.

Adding flavors to the market isn’t a simple question, since experts acknowledge that incorporating flavored products can help adults move away from more dangerous ci******es. And the FDA’s newest guidance steers clear of the sweet flavorings like candy and fruit to avoid the options that fueled youth va**ng in the late 2010s. Who benefits from more va**ng flavors? And what evidence will manufacturers have to show to get their flavors on the market?

New FDA guidance suggests mint, coffee, and spice v**e flavors could be authorized, raising debate over toxic additives and youth va**ng risks.
