LEGAL UPDATE: LSMS JOINS IN AMICUS BRIEF The Louisiana State Medical Society joined in support of an amicus brief in the matter of R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company v. FDA . The case involves the marketing and sale of flavored e-cigarettes. The issue in the case is whether the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acted lawfully when it denied marketing approval for electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)—colloquially called “electronic cigarettes” or “e-cigarettes” featuring non-tobacco flavors. This case is one of many similar cases in federal circuit courts around the country involving the same legal question presented by different ENDS manufacturers. The amicus brief opposes R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company’s request for a stay of the FDA’s decision to halt further marketing and sale of its ENDS products. The amicus brief provides the court with additional evidence of the negative impact of flavored ENDS products, especially on young people.
