What happened: The sales of Juul e-cigarettes have now been blocked by the US FDA, as Reuters state, “a major blow to the once high-flying firm whose products have been tied to surge in teenage vaping.” The decision came after the FDA claimed that the companies failed to provide evidence that vaping products would be appropriate for public health. Details: The Chief Regulatory Officer at Juul is quoted by Reuters as, “We respectfully disagree with the FDA’s findings…” At the same time, it has been reported that the company has claimed that “the standard of our products is appropriate for the protection of the public health.” More: It is pertinent to mention that the health regulator judged on the basis of whether the product was effective in helping smokers quit cigarettes, “whether the benefits to smokers outweighed the potential health damage to new e-cigarette users, including teenagers, who never smoked.”
