As of August 21, 2026, the FDA has authorized 45 e-cigarette (ENDS) products and 30 nicotine pouch products for legal sale in the United States. Every other vape or pouch on the U.S. market is unauthorized and subject to enforcement. Authorized ENDS come from only five companies — R.J. Reynolds (Vuse), NJOY, Logic, JUUL Labs and Glas — and all authorized flavors are tobacco, menthol, or the four Glas flavors cleared in May 2026 under hardware age-gating. Authorized pouches come from Swedish Match (ZYN) and Helix Innovations (on!).

This page tracks every product that holds an FDA marketing granted order — the only thing that makes a vape or nicotine pouch legal to sell in the United States. It exists because the FDA’s own itemized list stopped being updated on March 28, 2024; every authorization since then has been announced separately, with no single consolidated list.

The rows above are the individually named products FDA has published. FDA’s stated total is 45 authorized ENDS products; the agency counts some power units and cartridge generations separately and has not itemized every SKU from the June 2024 NJOY menthol and July 2024 Vuse Alto decisions. Where FDA published a decision but not a per-SKU breakdown, we list it as a single row and say so. Always verify a specific SKU against FDA before making a purchasing decision.
Authorized nicotine pouches
| Company | Brand | Flavors | Strengths | Authorized |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helix Innovations (Altria) | on! | Rich Berry, Cappuccino, Autumn Spice | 2 mg, 4 mg | Aug 4, 2026 |
| Helix Innovations (Altria) | on! PLUS | Mint, Tobacco, Wintergreen | 6 mg, 9 mg | Dec 19, 2025 |
| Swedish Match USA (PMI) | ZYN | Chill, Cinnamon, Citrus, Coffee, Cool Mint, Menthol, Peppermint, Smooth, Spearmint, Wintergreen | 3 mg, 6 mg | Jan 16, 2025 |
That is 20 ZYN products (10 flavors × 2 strengths), 6 on! PLUS products (3 flavors × 2 strengths) and 4 on! products — 30 in total. The two Helix decisions came through FDA’s nicotine pouch PMTA pilot program, launched in September 2025 to speed up pouch reviews.
On June 30, 2026, FDA granted modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) orders to 20 ZYN products. That is a different and higher bar than a marketing granted order — it permits specific reduced-risk claims in advertising. A product can hold a marketing order without holding an MRTP order; ZYN currently holds both.

What authorization does and does not mean
Authorization is not approval and not a safety finding. FDA states plainly: “There is no safe tobacco product.” A marketing granted order means FDA found the product appropriate for the protection of public health — weighing benefit to adult smokers against risk of youth initiation — not that the product is safe or endorsed.
What it does mean, practically:
- The product can be legally sold in the United States, subject to federal and state law.
- The company must comply with the marketing restrictions attached to its order. FDA can suspend or withdraw an authorization — the Glas order explicitly reserves this if youth use rises.
- State law still applies on top. Several states restrict flavored products regardless of federal authorization — see our state-by-state flavor ban tracker.
What it does not mean: that everything else is legal. The overwhelming majority of disposable vapes sold in the U.S. hold no marketing order at all, and are subject to import refusal, seizure and destruction under authority Congress extended in November 2025.
Frequently asked questions
How many vapes are FDA approved in 2026?
None are “FDA approved” — that term does not apply to tobacco products. As of August 21, 2026, 45 ENDS products hold an FDA marketing granted order, which is what makes them legal to sell. They come from five companies: R.J. Reynolds (Vuse), NJOY, Logic, JUUL Labs and Glas.
Are any fruit, candy or dessert flavored vapes FDA authorized?
No. Every authorized ENDS flavor is tobacco or menthol, apart from the four Glas products cleared on May 5, 2026 — Classic Menthol, Fresh Menthol, Gold and Sapphire — and those came with hardware-level age-gating attached. No fruit, candy or dessert flavor holds a marketing order.
Is my disposable vape FDA authorized?
Almost certainly not. No disposable vape from the brands that dominate U.S. shelves holds a marketing granted order. If the product is not in the table above, it is unauthorized and subject to enforcement — including import refusal, seizure and destruction.
What is a marketing granted order?
It is the order FDA issues when a premarket tobacco product application (PMTA) succeeds. FDA must find the product appropriate for the protection of public health, weighing benefit to adult smokers against risk of youth initiation. Without one, a tobacco product cannot legally be sold in the United States.
How many nicotine pouches are FDA authorized?
30 as of August 21, 2026: 20 ZYN products from Swedish Match USA (authorized January 16, 2025), six on! PLUS products from Helix Innovations (December 19, 2025) and four on! products (August 4, 2026).
Why doesn’t the FDA publish one complete list?
It did until March 28, 2024, when the itemized marketing granted orders page stopped being updated. Since then each authorization has been announced separately through press releases and the CTP newsroom, and the searchable database is organised by application rather than by what a retailer can stock. That gap is why this page exists.
Can an authorization be taken away?
Yes. FDA can suspend or withdraw a marketing granted order — for example if youth use of the product rises notably, or if the agency determines the benefits no longer outweigh the risks. The May 2026 Glas order states this explicitly.
