The Supreme Court's review of the FDA’s ban on flavored vaping products could redefine the landscape of e-cigarette regulations. While advocates emphasize its role in reducing youth vaping, industry leaders argue it restricts adult smokers seeking alternatives. Discover how this pivotal decision could impact public health, the vaping market, and compliance requirements.

Understanding State E-Cigarette Registry Bills

1. Emerging Trend:

   • States are introducing "registry" bills to regulate e-cigarette and nicotine product sales.
   • These laws limit sales to FDA-approved products or those not explicitly prohibited.

2. Regulatory Context:

   • Manufacturers exploit delays in the FDA's Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) process to keep products on the market.
   • Registry laws aim to address this enforcement gap but face challenges like self-certification loopholes and verification difficulties.

3. Limitations:

   • Enforcement is resource-intensive and inconsistent due to the FDA’s limited disclosure on PMTA statuses.
   • Registry laws often fail to address youth access to flavored products.

4. Potential Advantages:

   • These laws could eliminate unregulated products, particularly from foreign manufacturers.
   • Larger companies benefit by restricting competition, maintaining their market share.

5. Risks and Distractions:

   • Registry laws might divert attention from proven measures like robust retail licensing laws.
   • Effective alternatives include enforcing zoning restrictions, compliance checks, and promotional bans.

6. Future Considerations:

   • Advocates must scrutinize registry laws for public health impact and industry motivations.
   • San Francisco's ordinance offers a model for aligning registry laws with FDA standards.

Q: What is the typical profit or revenue share paid to location owners on a vape vending machine and how much profit can I expect to make?

A: Many operators adopt a revenue-sharing model to compensate location owners. The typical share is 10-20% of gross revenue, translating to approximately $3-$5 per vape sold.

A vape vending machine can generate around $1,000 per month in profit, depending on factors like location, product selection, and customer traffic. To maximize profits and appeal to a broader customer base, operators should offer diverse product categories, provided they comply with state and federal regulations.
