FDA approves Vuse Alto e-cigarette despite ongoing debates about vaping.

The FDA has allowed the sale of Vuse Alto e-cigarettes in the US. This means Reynolds American, the company that makes Vuse, can keep selling them.

The FDA only approved tobacco flavors of Vuse Alto, not menthol. Reynolds is fighting the FDA's decision on menthol in court.

Vuse is a popular e-cigarette brand, making up a large part of sales. However, most of their sales are for menthol, which are still being sold while the court case continues.

The FDA's decision doesn't mean e-cigarettes are safe, just that they might be less harmful than regular cigarettes. The FDA still says people who don't smoke shouldn't use e-cigarettes.

The FDA has been reviewing many e-cigarette brands to make the market safer. They want to help smokers find alternatives while also preventing kids from starting to vape.
