On September 2, according to foreign reports, the US Federal Trade Commission released its second report on e-cigarette sales and advertising on Wednesday.

The report shows that sales of flavored disposable e-cigarettes and menthol e-cigarette cartridges have grown significantly in 2020, despite a federal ban on flavored e-cigarette cartridges.

The FTC said the report shows youth e-cigarette use has shifted to alternative products, rather than declined.

Samuel Levine, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said: "This report shows that teens are still at risk of buying flavored or discounted e-cigarettes. "E-cigarette marketers have proven to be excellent at circumventing FDA regulation and creating addictive products for young people.

The release of the report comes at a time when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently taken action against e-cigarettes. The agency recently removed products from prominent e-cigarette company JUUL, although the decision has been challenged in court.
