Which Products Are FDA Authorized?

Only a small number of nicotine products have been authorized by the FDA. Authorization means these products have passed scientific review and can be legally marketed in the U.S. — but it does not mean they are safe.

The FDA has authorized a limited set of products in the following categories:

• E-Cigarettes and Vaping Devices
  ◦ Products from Vuse Solo (R.J. Reynolds), Logic, NJOY, and JUUL have FDA authorization.
  ◦ NEW (July 2025): JUUL device, Virginia Tobacco JUULpods (3% and 5%), and Menthol JUULpods (3% and 5%).
  ◦ All authorized vape products are “closed systems” — meaning they use pre-filled cartridges or pods.
  ◦ As of July 2025, the FDA has authorized 39 e-cigarette products in total. [View the full FDA list]

• Heat-Not-Burn Devices
  ◦ IQOS (Philip Morris) heats tobacco without burning it.
  ◦ Devices like IQOS 3 and IQOS 2.4 are authorized for sale.

• Smokeless Tobacco
  ◦ Includes products like General Snus and Zyn (Swedish Match).
  ◦ These products are placed between the gum and lip or dissolved in the mouth.

⚠️ Flavored vaping products that appeal to youth have not been authorized.
The FDA continues to deny applications for products that could increase youth nicotine use.

Note: The majority of nicotine products sold in vape shops or online do not yet have FDA authorization.
