The letter references the FDA's pre-market authorization process and the new 2024 Minnesota state law which took effect August 1, 2024, which makes it unlawful to advertise, sell, or distribute e-cigarettes that imitate school supplies, characters, games, or products that imitate candy, desserts, or beverages.
