FDA Warns Juul About Marketing Products as Safer Than Cigarettes

Juul Labs Inc. made unauthorized claims to children that its electronic cigarettes were safer than traditional cigarettes, the Food and Drug Administration said.

In two letters to the startup on Monday, the agency wrote that it was troubled by Juul’s marketing and outreach practices. It cited testimony from a July Congressional hearing describing a presentation to children in a school where a Juul representative described the company’s e-cigarettes as “totally safe.”

Bon voilà ça hein ! Ko cigarette électronique. Les premiers cobayes natures adeptes sans calcul de nouveautés donnent les premiers résultats moins d'une décennie après la vague de consommation.

There definetely needs to be more research done on the health impacts of juuling on people. There are still too many unknowns NUjournos

But they are safer, way safer. In fact they are the best way to quit traditional smoking. If we want to improve global health and reduce healthcare expenses, we should be encouraging it. That doesn’t mean they are “healthy” but they are healthier than cigarettes.

Is the company culpable or not?.

frankmottek So cigarettes cause cancer, but a tiny percentage of vape users using largely unregulated and unknown vaping liquids get ill and the two are somehow equally dangerous?

Waiting for the class action. And why can they advertise on television?

This is the BS companies do all the time and all they get is a letter. The damage is done and once again the US_FDA sits by and allows the American public to get exploited and sickened.

Yeah and WHY does JUULvapor & VUSEVapor get to advertise on TV? Cigarettes were banned DECADES ago! US_FDA FDATobacco FCC

Even if they are safer

Infrared Spectrometry, NMR; Optical Inspection Data...

Because..We wouldn't want people knowing the Truth

MichaelKitces I’ll bucket this one under “no sh$t”

But guns are just wonderful for everyone’s “ health “.

it’s about time the US_FDA is more forthcoming with the dangers of these substances

Yeah they needed to include how harmful it is to your man card as well as your health.

😓

DonNadon9 Big money controls everything

I trust Juul not the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

JUUL is a Big-Tobacco nicotine enjoyment product. Nothing more. Everything they say is corrupt.

SHOCKER!!!

Shocking that it took this long
