what's up guys Nick from babyt here it
seems many American teens are finding
their way around the FDA flavor ban that
came into place at the beginning of this
year before we get started make sure you
subscribe to the bait meet official
YouTube channel and don't forget to hit
that notification bell as you may know
the FDA introduced a ban on flavored
cartridge based devices like Joule with
tobacco and menthol flavors remaining on
the US market if you're looking for more
information on this ban I made a video
about it not too long ago so feel free
to check that out for all the details
due to this banned flavor products are
only available in adult only vape shops
in bottle form for refilling tanks and
other refillable devices though it seems
there was a small oversight on the
actual FDA policy a footnote on page 9
indicates self-contained disposable
devices are actually permitted for sale
this small detail has not gone unnoticed
many minors have apparently moved to
disposable devices with puffs bars and
Stig's being the most popular these
devices come in many different flavors
including fruits and desserts and are
available with high salt nicotine
strengths comparable to Joule because
disposable devices come prefilled and
don't require any extra equipment like a
charger they're much cheaper than other
products on the market due to the lower
costs are also much more accessible to
minors in a report by the New York Times
a high school student that's switched
from Joule to puff bar said they prefer
using disposable products for the big
drop in cost another student when asked
about puff bar said they have the best
flavors and the most nicotine mid seller
director of the FDA Center for tobacco
products said their data shows that the
most appealing type of e-cigarette for
minors are cartridge based that are easy
to use and hide he goes on to say that
they did not have data showing high use
of disposables this totally sounds like
the FDA's attempt at saving face I don't
think we need national stats to tell us
teens are gonna move to a cheaper and
illegal product Meredith Bertrand the
founder of the anti vaping group parents
against vaping felt that measures taken
in data collection need to be more
frequent in order to stay on top of
what's trending with teens I'm honestly
not too surprised that a loophole is
found this quickly I'm sure it's only a
matter of time until the FDA amends
their policy but I do wonder if we'll
see any additional regulations moving
forward let me know your thoughts on
