Tobacco giant Altria has submitted premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its On! Plus oral nicotine pouch products. This announcement comes after the federal agency authorised four of Altria’s menthol e-cigarette products last week, making them the first ever flavoured vapes the agency has permitted on the market.
The news also follows the suspension of Zyn online sales by Philip Morris International (PMI), while the District of Columbia investigates whether the company has complied with the district’s ban on flavoured products.
