Thirty-three deaths due to lung injury associated with e-cigarette use or vaping have been confirmed in 24 states, as of October 15, the CDC says

Thursday’s move, which ends online sales, means Juul’s mango, fruit, creme and cucumber nicotine pod flavors will no longer be available for sale anywhere in the United States. The company last year pulled those flavors from retail stores but continued to sell them on its website with what the company said were “strict age-verification controls.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month warned Juul that it was misleading consumers by marketing its products as safer than cigarettes, and requested additional information on its nicotine blend. Soon after, the Trump administration announced plans to ban all flavored e-cigarette products, citing alarming growth in teenage use of the products.

TeeExTee This is what fake news get you. Good job, juul.

Do you mean to tell me that mango-flavored nicotine liquids may *NOT* be healthy? Crazy, man. Crazy.

KYFriedComrade 😍

vaping nicotine or CBD and or THC unregulated products? Why are there no vaping deaths in the UK? A very misleading title.

Honest headline: Thirty-three deaths have been reported due to people using unapproved, illicit THC liquid for vaping.

People need to do their research (the UK has and they have way less tobacco users than we do) Educate and regulate, people are getting the wrong impression of vaping. I can’t believe this is even an issue, tobacco and alcohol is way safer!

In those 24 states -how many people also died of cigarette related diseases?

CDC- 480,000 deaths per year associated to smoking cigarettes.. 🦗🎶

Do you mean associated with black market THC pods and not actual vaping? Nowhere else in the world has anyone died from vaping Now how about a story with actual facts rather than spread misinformation?

The United States should immediately ban the import from China about counterfeit vaping products. There will be hundreds of times the number of deaths in the US if such products, which contain all manner of waste and toxic chemicals, are put on the shelves of our stores.

I personally see this as a master plan to enslave the next generation with addictive health threatening chemicals.

Wow, that's way more dangerous than safe and legal cigarettes and other assorted tobacco products.

Juul Halts Online Sales of Some Flavored E-CigarettesJuul is halting online sales of its sweet and fruity e-cigarette refill pods as federal regulators prepare to pull most nicotine vaping products off the market in response to a surge in teen vaping. As far as I know the problem is not only the nicotine but also de vaping temperature ... same as it is with cigars temperature causing throat cancer, a MD would surely clarify this. What's next? Ban on Big Macs? So because parents can't control their own kids, everyone else has to suffer? I've about reached my limit of allowing elites to tell me how to live my life, so the rest of the managerial class reading this ought to understand that we are building the guillotines right now.

Top pediatrician tells Congress adolescents 'do not stand a chance' against JuulThe American Academy of Pediatrics slams Juul in congressional testimony, saying the salts it uses in its vape devices deliver 'dramatically higher levels' of nicotine. “This is hurting my lobbyist’s profits” I guess that JUULvapor figured that the old Silicon Valley mantra “do well by doing good” didn’t fit their business model. It appears that Juul’s motto might be: “Hook ‘em, Milk ‘em, Bury ‘em” ? It seems like most of these kids start vaping just because they think that puffy cloud coming out of their mouth looks fun. So why don't they sell e-cigarettes without nicotine or other poisons?
