Vape mail ban

The vape mail ban refers to a series of regulations and laws that have been implemented in various countries and jurisdictions to restrict the shipment of e-liquids and other vaping products through the mail.

In the United States, the vape mail ban was introduced in 2016 as part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act. The law prohibited the shipment of e-liquids and other vaping products through the mail, unless they were specifically approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA subsequently issued a final rule in 2016 that banned the sale of e-liquids and other vaping products through the mail, unless they were approved by the agency. The rule also required e-liquid manufacturers to submit premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) to the FDA in order to continue selling their products.

In 2020, the FDA issued a new rule that further restricted the sale of e-liquids and other vaping products through the mail. The rule prohibited the sale of any e-liquid or vaping product that contained nicotine, unless it was specifically approved by the FDA.

The vape mail ban has been controversial, with some arguing that it is an overreach of government authority and that it will drive the illegal sale of vaping products. Others argue that the ban is necessary to protect public health and to prevent the sale of harmful and unregulated vaping products.

In addition to the US, other countries have also implemented vape mail bans or restrictions on the sale of vaping products through the mail. For example, in the European Union, the sale of e-liquids and other vaping products through the mail is subject to strict regulations and restrictions.

It's worth noting that the vape mail ban is not a single, uniform law, but rather a collection of regulations and laws that have been implemented at the federal, state, and local levels.
