Supreme Court hears arguments over the power of the Food and Drug Administration to prohibit the sale of candy-colored vaping products aimed at teenagers.

The Supreme Court on Monday pressed the Food and Drug Administration on whether it followed the law in its effort to keep flavored e-cigarettes off shelves, weighing a lawsuit from a multibillion-dollar industry that has come under scrutiny because its products are popular with school-aged children.

The agency has said addictive nicotine from vapes can adversely influence the development of adolescent brains, affecting attention, learning and memory, and their use may be associated with asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
