According to the news of the UAE media BigNewsNetwork on November 14, on November 13, the e-cigarette brand Bidi participated in the tobacco regulation conference sponsored by the US Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI), and proposed that dealers use scanning data to identify non-compliant enterprises.
According to Russell Quick, brand director at Bidi, regulators can use data from a newly published ranking of single-use e-cigarette products as a “signpost” to identify current offending companies.
According to Quick, a new ranking published by New York-based Nielsen shows that 10 out of 11 disposable e-cigarette products do not comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory process.
“Scanning data is now at your fingertips…… You can see through that data which retailers are selling which non-compliant products, which wholesalers are distributing, and that’s a great way to revolutionize e-cigarette enforcement, “he said. “What’s really hurting the industry are the illegal, non-compliant bad actors in the U.S. e-cigarette market who are undermining the potential of e-cigarettes to help adult smokers quit,” Dr. Quick told about 200 attendees during the panel discussion.
