The United States Food and Drug Administration recently signed off to ban selective e-cigarettes, along with the highly-popular brand Juul. Brought to light this past Friday, June 24, 2022, the FDA officially banned a plethora of e-cigarettes throughout the entire country in hopes of decreasing the amount of nicotine addiction within the US. “Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued marketing denial orders (MDOs) to JUUL Labs Inc. for all of their products currently marketed in the United States – The company must stop selling and distributing these products,” as stated on the FDA’s official website.
FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf made a lengthy statement on the Federal Agency’s announcement: “Today’s action is further progress on the FDA’s commitment to ensuring that all e-cigarette and electronic nicotine delivery system products currently being marketed to consumers meet our public health standards… The agency has dedicated significant resources to review products from the companies that account for most of the U.S. market and we recognize these make up a significant part of the available products.”
