This marks Juul’s return to the FDA’s list of authorized e-cigarette products, three years after the agency issued a market ban in 2022. The approved products include Juul’s core menthol and Virginia tobacco flavored pods.

 

To date, the FDA has granted authorization to e-cigarette products from four manufacturers: Logic, NJOY, Reynolds (Vuse), and now Juul. The total number of authorized products has increased from 34 to 39.

 

In July 2024, RJ Reynolds Vapor Company, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco, secured FDA authorization for seven Vuse Alto products. Juul’s approval represents the first new MGO issued in over a year, signaling a potentially significant shift in the U.S. e-cigarette regulatory landscape.

 

2Firsts will continue to monitor Juul’s market reentry and its broader impact on the industry.
