Juul may be banned after 2 years

The FDA recently tried to take Juul vape pens off the shelf. Public health officials say Juul is focusing on selling its nicotine products to high schoolers.

This decision was made after many pleas from government officials and public health institutes that say Juul is more focused on selling its nicotine products to high-schoolers.

Juul currently faces a dozen lawsuits from different states who claim they focused more on their marketing campaign to young audiences and had a big role in the vaping epidemic.

According to an expert at the hospital, while Juuls could be banned, there are still other products available.

“It's important for our patients to understand that the FDA is targeting Juul right now, but there are other companies that are continuing to make e-cigarettes and vape products, so you can continue to get that method of nicotine delivery, you don’t necessarily have to use Juul as specific,” said Smith

A court granted Juul’s request for a stay on the ban, allowing the company to still sell the products while an appeal is made on the decision.

Most recently, the FDA has required all nicotine and tobacco companies to reduce harmful addictive substances and chemicals in their products.
