The US government is intensifying efforts to crack down on illegal nicotine vapes, but the market has seen an influx of cheaper, more potent, and fancier products. Chinese vapes, particularly from companies like Elf Bar, are flooding the US market. These products, which have not been approved by the FDA, are particularly concerning due to their high nicotine content and appeal to young people. Recently, over $1 million worth of vaping pens were seized in Chicago by federal law enforcement officers. Regulators are especially worried about the impact on children, as these devices are technically illegal and unregulated. Despite the ban on Juul, various new types of vapes with higher potency and integrated features like stress balls and games are readily available at gas stations and corner stores across America. Elf Bar, a $4B Chinese vape company, is illegally addicting millions of young Americans to nicotine.
