Summary: The American Thoracic Society, a medical society representing healthcare professionals, supports the FDA's rigorous oversight of flavored ENDS products to prevent youth initiation. They argue that the FDA should prioritize removing illegal flavored products from the market, require robust evidence that new flavors do not pose toxicological risks or increase youth appeal, and mandate comprehensive post-market surveillance.
