VPR Brands, LP welcomes the FDA's recent announcement regarding electronic cigarette regulations

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - (NewMediaWire) - August 01, 2017 - VPR Brands, LP (OTC PINK: VPRB), a market leader specializing in vaporizers and accessories for essential oils, cannabis concentrates, and extracts, as well as the maker of the KRAVE and VAPORIN brand electronic cigarettes containing nicotine, welcomes the FDA's recent announcement delaying the regulatory timetable for electronic cigarettes until August 8th, 2022. Electronic cigarettes can help ween smokers off of traditional cigarettes and give smokers the nicotine they crave without many of the dangerous chemicals in cigarette smoke, says Scott Gottlieb, FDA commissioner, as reported by the Washington Post. In a surprise announcement last week, Dr. Gottlieb gave the ecig industry the best news it could have hoped for by calling out potential benefits of ecigs to addicted cigarette smokers, capable of delivering nicotine without having to burn tobacco. "We do think there's a potential opportunity for e-cigarettes to be a lower-risk alternative to smokers who want to quit combustible cigarettes," said Dr. Gottlieb, according to the NY Times.

"It's about time common sense regulation returned to the FDA. Thank You Dr. Gottlieb for being reasonable and taking the time to do what's best for the public's health concerns regarding smoking. We believe that the FDA's new plan to eventually wean smokers off conventional cigarettes and steer them toward less harmful alternative forms of nicotine like vaping is a smart approach to reducing the harm caused by cigarettes. This will reinvigorate the ecig industry and that puts us in an opportune position. Both our KRAVE and our VAPORIN brand of e-cigarettes are still very popular and gives us the foundation on which to start increasing sales within the ecig category," says Kevin Frija, CEO of VPR Brands LP. "We will begin shifting our focus back into the ecig category where our brands were once the top industry performers and now with a new 5-year clear runway from the FDA will allow us to grow sales and penetrate the market once again." 

"Postponing the regulatory timetable imposed on E-cigarettes is critical for an industry that is founded on innovation and continuous improvements. Immediate compliance with proposed regulations would significantly slow the further development of delivery devices and innovations within the sector. We are glad that the FDA will take the extra time as we believe it is in the best interest of consumers both existing and potential. According to a recent Equity Research report from Wells Fargo, E-cig Sales have increased 49.2% in the last reported period and have grown to an estimated 4.4 Billion dollars annually for 2017. This announcement serves as great news to the industry and our shareholders for the market to continue on its rapid growth trajectory," says Daniel Hoff, COO VPR Brands LP.
