Washington (AP) – Food and Drug Administration is allowing permission Vapor brand gulle To keep your e-cigarette on the market, provide relief to a company Struggled for years After Widely convicted To spark the teen vaporing trend.
FDA Regulatory On Thursday said that Juel’s study shows that it has e-cigarette Less harmful for adult smokersWhich can be benefited by switching to vaping completely.
The FDA’s decision applies to both tobacco-tobacco-tobacco and menthol-surplus versions of the reusable product, which works with a cartridge filled with nicotine sold in two different powers. Juul first stopped the taste of many fruits and candy, which helped to run its popularity but they were Teen’s liked by,
Juul will be one of the only two American companies that are authorized to sell the menthol-surprise vep, which many adults prefer to taste tobacco.
“This is an important milestone for the company and I think we can play a scientific sound for the role that Menthol can play in e-vapor,” Juel CEO CEO KC Crustweight told the Associated Press.
Parents, politicians and antitobacco groups are certain to oppose the FDA’s decision. He has argued for years that Juul should be banned from selling his products permanently.
The value of Juul was once more than $ 13 billion and its small, smooth e-cigarette revolutionized the image and technology of the Vaping industry. But the company has been forced to slash hundreds of jobs since then Pay billions to settle cases Above her Role in the rise of youth vaporing,
FDA had Order the company To remove its products from the market in June 2022. But then The agency suddenly reversed the course After days and after the company pushed back to court, he agreed to reopen his scientific review of Juul’s application.
Juel said that the regulators had ignored thousands of pages of important scientific data for its submission.
Thursday’s announcement is not an approval or support, and the FDA reiterated that those who do not smoke should not use jule or any other e-cigarette. FDA assessment indicates that Smokers who switch Fully Juul may reduce their risk for deadly carcinogenes and other chemicals found in traditional cigarettes.
The FDA’s decision applies to the original product of Juul, which is now almost a decade old. Crustweight said that the company is expected to win the authority for its next generation device and is also considering applying to FDA for more taste.
In recent years, the FDA has authorized a handful of e-cigarettes to help adult smokers to cut on traditional cigarettes, while rejecting more than a million other volatile products that failed to meet the agency standards. Juul’s main contestants, Vuse and NJoy, each first received the FDA to remain in the market.
To meet the FDA requirements, companies must show that their e-cigarettes benefit public health. In practice, this means that adult smokers who use them are likely to quit or reduce their smoking, while teenagers are unlikely to bend on them.
The brain yield of two Stanford University students launched in 2015 and reached the top of the Vepping Market within two years.
Juel quickly defeated the first brands with her high-nicotin, fruit-swasting cartridges, which sold in Mango, Mint and Cream Brule. The company’s small, discomfort equipment provided a more powerful, user -friendly option for old, bulkier devices.
But the company’s rise was given fuel using less, and the e-cigarette quickly became omnipresent in American schools. In 2019, the company was pressurized to prevent all advertisements and eliminate most of its tastes, only tobacco and menthol-conforming options.
Till then, the company was already aiming for several investigations and cases by the federal, state and local authorities as well as class action lawyers.
In 2022, the company paid $ 1.7 billion to settle the thousands of cases brought by gulled users, school districts, city governments and families of original American tribes. The company agreed separately to pay $ 1.1 billion from separate American states to settle cases or investigation.
Juul is no longer the top-squeezed e-cigarette brand and now trails vuse, which is sold by Reynolds American.
According to the latest federal survey, teenagers have also escaped from the brand amid widespread decline in vapor. FDA stated last year that teenager vapor Fall at 10 years lowStep after enforcement against Unauthorized brand imported from ChinaLike Yogini Bar.
Unlike Juul, disposable e-cigarettes such as ELF bar still come to the taste of fruit and candy, despite the efforts to block their use by regulators.
