Flavored Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) Premarket Applications – Considerations Related to Youth Risk Draft Guidance for Industry March 2026

Draft

Not for implementation. Contains non-binding recommendations.

Docket Number:
FDA-2026-D-1817
Issued by:
Guidance Issuing Office
Center for Tobacco Products

This guidance is intended to assist persons submitting premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) for electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) under section 910 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 387j). This guidance communicates FDA’s current thinking on these applications to improve the efficiency of application submission and review; however, the recommendations in this guidance are non-binding. When FDA reviews PMTAs for ENDS, it will base decisions on the obligations that arise from the FD&C Act and its implementing regulations. FDA anticipates that the experience gained through the implementation of this guidance, if finalized, and review of PMTAs may contribute to future rulemaking and guidance.
