NJOY CEO Shannon Leistra stated,

 

With the addition of NJOY menthol e-cigarette products, we now have a unique FDA-authorized product lineup to support adult smokers transitioning to smoke-free alternatives. We believe these marketing authorizations demonstrate the quality of NJOY products and the strength of evidence supporting the authorized NJOYmint e-cigarette products.

The FDA has approved NJOY menthol-flavored e-cigarette product, providing a regulated alternative for adult smokers and e-cigarette users to replace the currently available illegal flavored disposable e-cigarette products on the market.
