The US Food and Drug Administration has warned leading e-cigarette maker Juul Labs about illegally marketing its product as a safer alternative to cigarettes.

The FDA ordered Juul to respond within 15 working days with corrective actions and its plan to comply with federal law. The warning letter noted that failure to comply could result in fines, seizures or injunction.

Vaping an epidemic in US high schools 02:34US Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin pointed out in a press conference on Monday how Sharpless' predecessor, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, called vaping among youth an"epidemic.""That was his word, and it is an epidemic, and why the FDA refuses to act, I can not answer," Durbin said during the press conference.

In response to Durbin's criticism, FDA spokeswoman Stephanie Caccomo said in an emailed statement on Friday that the agency looks forward to"engaging with Senator Durbin, along with all members of Congress, on this ongoing and very serious situation.""Getting to the bottom of this is a top priority for the agency and all of our federal and state partners. We are all working tirelessly to get as much information as possible about any products or substances used.

Anyone who is stupid enough to think this shit was safe is too stupid to live past 35 anyway

since. Eventually, I quit using vaping too. I couldn't use Chantix due to the side effects, and I was shocked that JUUL took, and even more shocked how easy it was to stop that./2

Can someone tell these MFs that they don’t even need to market JUULs because teens are gonna find a way to buy them regardless. Everyone has that one 18+ plug who gets all the shit at gas stations for them

They are indeed very stupid products. Quit smoking, if you crave a smoke then smoke real tobacco. Cigarette, Pipe, Cigar or Hookah. Electronic cigarettes and vaping are plain dump

It is though? The UK's scientist labels vaping at about 95% safer... The US just got people doing 'Hit Research' that are always misleading, or complete lies. US_FDA isn't deserving of it's position when it comes to this stuff...

If it was philip morris. What whould FDA says?🤔

Good !

Question: why do they have TV ads. i thought we don't do that for cigarettes and fake cigarettes

E cigs/vaping is dangerous as hell. Where's those reports of those ppl amoking those things and having a shit ton of stuff wrong with there lungs and if I remember one of them died from it

The FDA could give a fuck about our health. This is all about the Mula.

What about BPA in plastics and Carcinogenic food dyes (Red 3 & 40, Yellow 5 &6,) in most sodas, candies and foods in the US? Can they have that conversation?

I’m okay if people who want to stop smoking use vape as an alternative. What’s fucking dumb is if 14+ year olds do it just because it looks cool.

Good! They should be in trouble already

someone didn't get paid off always attacking jull tired of hearing about it

The FDA also has put pharmaceutical companies that literally do not help anyone whatsoever and has downgraded those who can help americans. Now all of a sudden they wanna play “the reason why we here”

bzzzzzz save your lungs! I know I do not have any, but if I did, I know I certainly wouldn't fill it with that!

And are you doctor? Really? So ppl should go back to 50,000 plus chems in ciggs

Chileeee, everyone knows and everyone don’t care. Y’all still hitting the juul anyway 😒😒😒

They never mentioned these ppl who got sick vaped weed

dang

One JUUL pod is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes. Let that sink in.

Why cant they come up with some alcoholic energy drink that contains nicotine?

juul the alternative cigarette

Disgraceful

838380 Let's attack e-ciggs, but... we'll legalize weed because there's money/taxes to be made with that. Nothing against MJ, but there seems to be hypocrisy in that. 🤔😂

Saw thru it ♈️

Not worried about marketiing ,worried about tainted products and false information and paid for results of those tryi g to ban these products !

If they do that then ciggarettes should be labeled 'Cancer in a Box'

well not safer, just deferent health issues and ways to kill you. so yeah that something I guess.

Ok but about Blu e cig that actually does this? I've never heard juul make these claims, yet I heard Blu make them on a television commercial the other day. No word of it anywhere

How many warnings do they get? What are we up to with these people😐

Kids are going to do whatever is out. When I was a kid we smoked cigarettes now kids vape.

“safer” does not mean “safe”. like i dont get this, it is so much safer for ADULT smokers to quit and vape... so much safer. and yall are like “bUt iTs NoT sAfE” no one said it was?

They advertise all over radio and podcasts for kids do something about it

Than legalize cannabis already and remove it from schedule 1 controlled substance act...ohhh wait that would fuck up alcohol, tobacco, and drug companies profits up....best to keep a scientifically proven non harmful substance illegal.

As long as you rpomot weed (gateway drug)your aleays gonna have juul. E-cig or juul smokers

Why just juul? It's still an addictive drug just like alchohol. Cannabis is a better alternative than any of it

🙄

Maybe the FDA should consider telling smokers that vaping is safer like countries like UK and Japan. 1 high school student claims that 1 contractor working for 1 e-cig company said that vaping was safer? What about the tens of millions of smokers?

Something had to be done. I mean, Philip Morris’ stock price has plummeted over the last two years and we all know who the FDA is in bed with.
