FDA Officially Bans Juul Sales in the U.S.

The FDA made the ban official after the Wall Street Journal reported that it was imminent. The sleek black device that is used to deliver nicotine to users of Juul is called apods. The FDA has confirmed that the company can no longer sell the device.

• Virginia tobacco flavored pods at nicotine concentrations of 5.0%,
• Virginia tobacco flavored pods at nicotine concentrations of 3.0%,
• Menthol flavored pods at nicotine concentrations of 5.0%, and
• Menthol flavored pods at nicotine concentrations of 3.0%.

The FDA banned all Pod flavors except tobacco and menthol from sale in January 2020 due to the fact that they were more accessible to children.

Most of the U.S. market is accounted for by the companies that the FDA reviews. FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf said in a press release that they recognize these make up a significant part of the available products.

Before tobacco companies can legally market their product in the US, they have to submit a premarket tobacco product application to the FDA. According to the FDA, they were skeptical of the product's impact on public health as the company didn't give them enough information about its toxicological effects. Some of the company's study findings raised concerns due to insufficient and conflicting data.

We wanted to know how the company might move forward after the ban, but they didn't reply immediately.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 99% of the e-cigarettes on the market contain nicotine, and it remains to be seen which of Juul's competitors will fill the void. Reports earlier this week indicated that the Biden administration was interested in decreasing the amount of nicotine in traditional cigarettes.

A lot of Americans are in bad moods.
