Juul Supports Legislation to Regulate Nicotine Products in Florida
E-cigarette company JUUL calls for further regulation of nicotine products to deter illegal sales from China.

According to a report by Health News Florida on January 25, e-cigarette company JUUL has reached out to Florida lawmakers seeking support for increased regulations on nicotine products due to concerns over the illicit sale of e-cigarette products imported from China.

 

Currently, e-cigarette company JUUL Labs has written to the Florida legislature in support of bills SB 1006 and HB 1007. These bills aim to further regulate nicotine products in order to tackle the issue of certain retailers illegally selling e-cigarette products imported from China.

 

These bills will require nicotine product manufacturers to submit necessary forms to the tobacco department for each product sold in the state and provide additional information as required. In addition, certain violations will be subject to penalties. In a letter, representatives from Juul stated that these two bills will create a "well-regulated market" for legal e-cigarette products.

The move follows a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit to lift an injunction that had blocked enforcement. Retailers have warned that tighter product availability rules could increase pressure on vape shops. One Iowa retailer said that if only a limited number of products remain available, many stores could face significant business challenges.

JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA has published a Special Communication offering systematic recommendations for U.S.-based clinicians on the use of nicotine e-cigarettes in adult smoking cessation. Developed by the Harm Reduction Workgroup of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco’s Treatment Research Network, the paper recommends including e-cigarettes alongside FDA-approved cessation medications in risk-benefit discussions. It cites high-certainty evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes achieve higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy and evidence suggesting efficacy comparable to highly effective medications such as varenicline and cytisine. For adults who choose vaping to quit, the authors recommend FDA-authorized products, sufficient nicotine delivery and a rapid, complete transition away from cigarettes rather than prolonged dual use.
