📄 FDA Regulations & Compliance

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of vaping products under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. At NanoEcig, we are committed to full compliance with all FDA regulations.

Key FDA Requirements:

• Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTA): All vaping products sold in the US must have a PMTA submitted to the FDA. Products without an authorized PMTA may be subject to enforcement action.
• Age Restriction: Federal law prohibits the sale of tobacco and vaping products to anyone under 21 years of age. We strictly enforce this requirement through age verification at checkout.
• Health Warning Labels: All products must display the required FDA health warning: "WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical."
• Manufacturing Standards: Products must be manufactured in accordance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) requirements.
• Marketing Restrictions: Vaping products cannot be marketed as safer alternatives to cigarettes without FDA approval. We advertise our products responsibly.

We work exclusively with manufacturers who comply with FDA regulations. For more information, visit the FDA's official website on tobacco products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the FDA approve individual vaping products?

The FDA does not "approve" vaping products in the same way as medical devices. Instead, manufacturers must submit a Premarket Tobacco Application (PMTA) and receive a marketing authorization order. Some products have received authorization, but many are still under review. We sell only products from manufacturers who have submitted PMTAs and are actively working toward authorization. Check the Age Verification Requirements page for more details on compliance steps.

Q: How does NanoEcig verify customer age?

We use a third-party age verification service at checkout that cross-references your name, address, and date of birth with public records. If the system cannot verify your age automatically, we may require you to upload a photo ID. This process complies with federal age restriction laws. Learn more on our Age Verification Requirements page.

Q: What health warning labels are required on vaping products?

All nicotine-containing products sold in the US must display the following warning: "WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical." This warning must appear on packaging and in all advertisements. Our products always include this label as required by FDA regulations.

Q: Are there shipping restrictions related to FDA or other laws?

Yes. The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act and various state laws impose restrictions on shipping vaping products. For example, we cannot ship to certain states or to P.O. boxes. Additionally, adult signature is required upon delivery for all orders. For a full list of restricted areas, see our Shipping Restrictions by State page and PACT Act & Online Vape Sales page.

Q: What should I do if I receive a product that appears non-compliant?

If you believe a product does not meet FDA requirements (e.g., missing warning label or damaged packaging), please contact our customer service team immediately. We stand behind our commitment to compliance and will replace any defective or non-compliant item. We also encourage you to report any concerns to the FDA via their official reporting portal.
