Former FDA Commissioner Breaks Down The Clash With Juul

Industry Insight by FOX NEWS
Jul.11.2022

The unknown health effects of e-cigarettes and vaping products have long been discussed but recently the Food and Drug Administration has announced plans to remove all products from the popular e-cigarette company Juul from shelves due to insufficient public health data. This past week, the FDA dropped their suspension of Juul and the Juul company agreed to suspend their court case while the government reopens its investigation into the company’s products.

 

Earlier this week, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb joined the podcast to break down the thought process behind the FDA’s initial decision, the effect this could have on smokers attempting to quit, and how this could deter youth from vaping.

 

Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Dr. Gottlieb about this decision and how it could impact the vaping and tobacco industry.

The AF5000 has been removed from the market due to the disposable vape ban, and the AF5500 is likely to be its compliant alternative.

Research Brief | IMiracle, Hongfu & SYSU: Nicotine Lactate E-Liquids May Accelerate Coil Corrosion and Nickel Release
A new study in Chemical Research in Toxicology reports that e-liquids formulated with 2% nicotine lactate can corrode nickel–chromium heating coils and increase nickel (Ni) leaching into both the e-liquid and aerosol. Compared with a 2% nicotine benzoate control, nicotine lactate was associated with higher Ni levels in bench tests, greater intracellular Ni accumulation and cytotoxicity in three human cell lines, and elevated Ni deposition in mouse tissues after sub-chronic inhalation.
