The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is finalizing an order to Juul Labs forcing the company to take its e-cigarettes off the market, the Wall Street Journal is reporting.
Back in September, the FDA delayed a decision over whether Juul and other e-cig manufacturers could see their vaping products as the agency dealt with other, more pressing issues, like Covid vaccines.
The planned move comes after a two-year review of the safety and marketing of Juul’s e-cigs. At the time, the FDA said that it would be reviewing the “marketing practices and research on marketing effects of product design, public health impact, and adverse experiences related to JUUL products.”
Relatedly, the FDA in October allowed another company, British American Tobacco, to begin selling its Vuse Solo e-cigarettes and tobacco-flavored pods, making the product the first vape to get FDA clearance.

Too bad it took several YEARS for them to reach a decision. Even under the bureaucratic APA rule making process, it should not have taken this long to resolve a life-saving issue and others related to nicotine addiction through cigarettes and vaping.
Where’s the evidence that vaping does ANY HARM? The mere fact of nicotine addiction is not itself harmful.
Yes but from the article it’s only Juule that’s being banned
They should make vaccine vapes. Evryone will be happy
Too bad, Juul didn’t pay the right people, British American Tobacco did.
Been replaced by Cannabis, otherwise known as Marijuana.
Meanwhile everywhere you go in NY it smells from weed..
THAT they legalized!
Go figure..
Am I the only one who noticed that nobody died from vaping in over 2 years?
