Summary: The National Association of Tobacco Outlets (NATO), a trade association representing retail tobacco stores, opposes the Draft Guidance because it fails to provide a clear path for authorizing a wide variety of flavored ENDS products. They argue that the current regulatory approach allows illicit products to flourish and that the FDA overestimates youth risk while downplaying the benefits of flavored products for adult smokers trying to quit combustible cigarettes.
The National Association of Tobacco Outlets (NATO) submit these attached comments to the FDA's Draft Guidance entitled, “Flavored Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) Premarket Applications – Consideration Related to Youth Risk."
