On March 3rd, following Altria's official statement ending their investment in American e-cigarette manufacturer Juul, the company announced that they are now free to seek other strategic opportunities and partners to maximize their company's value and advance their leading product technology and innovation pipeline.
Juul has announced that its strategic goal is to help 1 billion adult smokers worldwide quit combustible cigarettes, eliminate their use, and continue to fight against underage use of e-cigarette products. In pursuit of this goal, Juul will continue to seek out new innovative technologies and partnership opportunities to further the company's growth and drive industry transformation.
Although the FDA has issued regulatory orders on certain products by Juul, the company remains confident in its research and evidence and is committed to advancing the process of smoking cessation for adult smokers, promoting public health, and eliminating the threat posed by combustible cigarettes.
