On average your standard E-Juice contains anywhere from 4-6 ingredients: Nicotine, PG, VG, and USDA food-grade flavorings, while the standard analog cigarette is containing over 7,000+ chemicals according to the 2010 Surgeon General report. In some cases these reported chemicals were higher, with some cigarettes containing 7,357 different identifiable properties in a cigarettes chemical composition. These reports are analyzed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(US), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion(US), and the office of Smoking and Health(US) based in Atlanta, GA. The damages of inhaling tobacco smoke in the human body have been known and reported for years and yet everyday smokers still continue to make the conscious decision of purchasing their usual brand of cigarettes harming themselves while smoking and others in close vicinity due to the dangers of the transference of secondhand smoke.

Well in short they entail all vapor related products that were manufactured after Aug. 2016, essentially including all of the current devices on the market. Manufacturers and companies will need to submit their Pre Market Tobacco Application for Electronic Nicotine Delivery systems to be reviewed and approved by the FDA. This can be an expensive and extenuating financial strain on newer and smaller companies, especially ones affected by the current Coronavirus epidemic. The article below on an online vapor website serves as an excellent synopsis of the scope of the scenario. https://www.elevatedvaping.com/blogs/news/what-is-pmta-and-how-will-it-affect-the-vaping-industry-in-2020
