FDA talks about Vape, E-liquid manufacturers

As a regulator of tobacco products, Vape has recently been on the scene. They have interviewed Vape manufacturers and E-liquid manufacturers, and also banned Vape and E-liquid products, such as the FDA ban mentioned in the previous article. For the decision to sell functional E-liquid, you can check out the previous article: "A functional E-liquid is banned".

Juul's sales in the market are very high, and the natural attention is high. Therefore, juul has a lot of troubles. Ju V, which is often seen in the recent news, has the highest frequency of juul. But it is not only juul that is in trouble, but several other well-known E-liquid brands are also being targeted.

According to federal data, the number of high school students using Vape in the United States surged 77% in 2018, prompting the FDA to take action. In September, the FDA interviewed five well-known American manufacturers: JUUL, British American Tobacco's Vuse, Altria's MarkTen, Imperial's BluVape and Japan Tobacco's Logic, who requested to reduce their use within 60 days. Product plan. According to the FDA, these five companies account for more than 90% of the US Vape market.

Since then, FDA Director Scott Gottlieb said that he has met with executives at each of the companies mentioned above, and they have put forward "prudent" advice on the measures that companies and institutions can take to curb the use of teenagers.

Gottlieb said in a statement: "These companies recognize that the Vape products will appeal to children, but they will also really help adult smokers quit."

Gottlieb said Vape is a public health crisis, and the agency may limit the sale of fruit-flavored Vape to more age-appropriate locations and consider limiting sales to Vape stores.

The company has previously said it supports increasing the age of purchasing tobacco products from 18 to 21. JUUL also supports this idea and requires its online shopper to be 21 years old.

JUUL

JUUL's spokesperson Victoria Davis said executives are working on their proposal based on FDA feedback. “Our plan will outline further actions we will take to keep JUUL away from teenagers,” she said.
