We are here to help adults quit smoking. We are fully responsible for the industry and are doing everything we can to keep nicotine products out of the hand of underage children. On this page, you’ll find more information about the ght against underage vaping and how you can do your part to help.

Consumer Info

The vaping industry is currently being looked at closely by the FDA who is determining how to best regulate the industry. One major concern the FDA has is the possibility of vaping products getting into the hands of minors. This is a concern that we also share and for that reason we’ve taken and continue to take steps to ensure our products are only being marketed and sold to our intended audience: adults of smoking legal age.
