A new federal effort in the United States aims to crack down on illegal e-cigarettes, such as Elf Bar, to reduce young people's access to these addictive products. The FDA and CBP announced the seizure of 53,700 unauthorized e-cigarette products valued at more than $1.08 million on June 27. Senator Romney highlighted that thousands of unauthorized e-cigarettes in kid-friendly flavors, such as bubble gum, are still readily available and called for the restoration of the premarket review process. Meanwhile, Australia has introduced world-first vaping reforms, banning the sale of e-cigarettes outside pharmacies. The new regulations, which came into effect on Monday, aim to curb youth vaping. Adults will need a prescription from their GP to buy therapeutic vapes until October.
