FDA calls for Juul e-cigarette removal from shelves
FDA urges removal of Juul e-cigarettes due to high school sales; lawsuits pending. Other options are available.

The FDA has recently attempted to remove Juul e-cigarettes from store shelves. Public health officials have previously stated that Juul is targeting high school students to sell their nicotine products.

 

This decision was made after extensive pleas from government officials and public health agencies, who expressed concern that Juul was selling its nicotine products to high school students.

 

Juul is currently facing over a dozen lawsuits from various states, alleging that the company marketed to a young audience and played a key role in the popularity of electronic cigarettes.

 

According to Dr. Jayme Smith, although Juuls have been banned, there are still other products available for selection.

 

According to Health Science Director Smith, "For our patients, the FDA's main target right now is Juul, but there are other companies that continue to produce electronic cigarettes, so you can still use this nicotine delivery method, and you don't necessarily have to use Juul.

 

A court has approved Juul's request to temporarily lift the ban, allowing the company to continue selling its products while appealing the decision.

 

Recently, the FDA has asked all nicotine and tobacco companies to reduce the harmful addictive substances and chemicals in their products.
