US Congress passes omnibus bill, putting synthetic nicotine under FDA jurisdiction

Synthetic nicotine vaping products will likely require the same authorisations as those made with tobacco-derived nicotine – leading to a massive shake-up of the US vaping market.

The change comes after the US Senate and House of Representatives both passed a sweeping $1.5tn omnibus spending bill that will be signed into law by president Joe Biden in the very near future.
