Nayrouz News Agency :  The Jordan Food and Drug Administration has officially started safety and quality testing and analysis of nicotine-containing e-liquids used in e-cigarettes to ensure they conform to local and global standards.

In a statement released Tuesday, JFDA Director-General Nizar Mheidat indicated that a new tobacco laboratory department established last year is now carrying out tests and analysis related to nicotine concentration and the presence of carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde and acetyldehyde in e-liquids, which, he said, pose further risks to human health.

He emphasized that the new department aims to strengthen the supervisory and regulatory role of the administration on tobacco and nicotine products, including e-cigarettes and e-liquids.
