The tobacco shop owners of Oklahoma City's subway system are reacting to the recent Juul ban by the FDA.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially banned Juul e-cigarette devices. However, the ban was later lifted after Juul made an emergency appeal to the FDA, allowing the company to resume selling its e-cigarettes.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned Juul e-cigarettes in response to a surge in youth e-cigarette use.
The US Food and Drug Administration states that Juul has not done enough to ensure the health and safety of its customers.
Erin Vogel, an upcoming assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, stated that when using electronic cigarettes, individuals inhale chemicals from flavorings, nicotine, and various compounds, possibly posing a threat to our respiratory health.
Erin Vogel stated that for years, Juul e-cigarettes have been considered a safer alternative to smoking. However, the FDA has stated that the data provided by the company regarding their products is inadequate and contradictory.

A concerning issue is that teenagers may transition to smoking combustible cigarettes, which is harmful to them. Nicotine affects brain development, so it is indeed a problem when teenagers use it," said Vogel.
After the FDA issued a ban, the owner of a tobacco shop in Oklahoma City saw a spike in prices from distributors in the area.
The customer bought out his shelves and stockpiled equipment.
They thought they wouldn't be able to buy their devices or pods again, so they really stocked up and we've sold out," said Craig Majors, owner of the Oklahoma City Vape Lounge.
Craig Majors hopes that Juul can reach an agreement with the FDA and believes that the device can help people quit smoking.
This is an excellent alternative to combustible tobacco. By prohibiting it through the US Food and Drug Administration, I feel like they've opened the door for other companies to continue to do the same thing. In the US, 480,000 people die from smoking every year... this is a very bad situation," said Majors.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is required to respond to the appeal by next Thursday, after which Juul must respond to the FDA's decision by July 12th.
