FDA's Flawed Regulation of E-Cigarettes: A Threat to Public Health
FDA's failed Juul ban could harm small businesses and low-income smokers, limiting access to a more effective nicotine alternative.

A woman in New York is using a Juul e-cigarette.


The article, sourced from The Wall Street Journal, highlights the FDA's failure to effectively regulate e-cigarettes, despite its attempts to ban Juul. While this failure exposes the agency's shortcomings, it is important to note that the FDA's regulatory policies already cover the vast majority (over 99.9%) of e-cigarette products on the market, meaning that if properly enforced, these regulations could eliminate millions of these products.


The majority of e-cigarette manufacturers and distributors are small to medium-sized enterprises that provide services for ordinary customers, typically those with lower incomes.


This includes smokers who want to quit smoking.


Electronic cigarettes are a product that is more effective than other nicotine replacement therapy methods and is currently being targeted for elimination by the FDA. This is causing a large number of Americans to revert back to combustible tobacco products.
