The restrictions won't apply to three flavors that the FDA says appeal more to adults than teenagers: tobacco, menthol and mint. The Silicon Valley-based company voluntarily tightened retail sales of its fruit and candy-flavored pods last year, ahead of the FDA announcement. Anti-smoking activists have questioned whether the new FDA restrictions will be enough to stop the teen vaping surge. The FDA has little authority over how stores display and sell vaping products. "FDA continues to nibble around the edges and that will not end the epidemic," said Erika Sward, of the American Lung Association, which has called on the FDA to remove all flavored e-cigarettes from the market.
