The U.S. Food and Drug Administration maintains a list of 45 authorized e-cigarettes that may be lawfully sold in the United States, though officials warn these products are not safe or FDA approved.
Authorized E-Cigarette Product List
The FDA stated that all tobacco products are harmful and potentially addictive. The agency's list of authorized electronic nicotine delivery systems includes brands such as JUUL Labs Inc., NJOY LLC, Logic Technology Development LLC, R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company, and Glas Inc.
FDA Database Update Process
The FDA intends to update its authorized e-cigarette website the day a new product is authorized, noting that its searchable tobacco products database serves as the most comprehensive listing of legal products. While downloadable flyers are also provided, those updates typically occur within one to two business days.
Technology's Impact on Sleep
In a separate health update from June 11, the Southwest Utah Public Health Department examined the dual nature of technology's impact on sleep, noting that while blue light from screens can disrupt rest, certain tools can support it.
Benefits and Risks of Trackers
According to Southwest Utah Public Health Department, wearable trackers and medical devices like CPAP machines can identify sleep problems and improve health. However, the department cautioned that consumer trackers may lack accuracy and that excessive monitoring can lead to 'orthosomnia,' or increased stress regarding sleep data.
Recommendations for Healthy Sleep Habits
The health department concluded that the impact of technology depends on usage, recommending a balance that limits stimulating devices before bed while utilizing helpful tools like smart lighting or white noise to create better sleep environments.
