Your Vape Gets Smarter: Biometric Age-Verification Comes Built-In

The FDA's recent guidance requiring built-in age verification for flavored vapes has created an opportunity for companies like Ike Tech to solve a decade-long industry problem using biometric and blockchain technology. This development matters because it addresses multiple concerns simultaneously: enabling a regulated market for flavored vapes, meeting strict regulatory requirements, and combating the proliferation of unregulated disposables that pose greater health risks. However, industry skeptics point out that no age-verification technology has proven effective at scale, raising critical questions about whether even sophisticated embedded tech can truly prevent underage access.
