UNITED STATES: The FDA launches a campaign against the use of the Juul e-cigarette by minors.

It was one of the big topics in recent weeks in the United States. After many receiving many requests, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States (FDA) has decided to launch a nationwide crackdown to urge minors to stop using the famous “Juul” e-cigarette. . 


AN ATTACK IN REGULATION OF THE FDA AGAINST THE PODMODS! 


If the famous electronic cigarette "Juul" is the main target in the viewfinder, the health agency would also be on the verge of attacking other brands offering vaping products. 

« The illegal sale of the product "Juul" is of concern"Said the Dr. Scott Gottlieb, Commissioner of the FDA, in a statement Tuesday. " In fact, since the beginning of March, the FDA's compliance checks have updated more than 40 violations regarding illegal sales of JUUL products to young people. »He adds.

In April, the agency began sending warning letters to 40 popular stores, such as 7-Eleven and Shell, that allegedly sold the products to customers under the age of 21. And Dr Scott Gottlieb cautioned that the letters should not be taken lightly.

« Let me be clear to the sellers“, He wrote. " This attack and the actions that follow indicate that we will not tolerate the sale of tobacco products to young people. »

In addition to the warning letters, the FDA also sent a request to Juul Labs Tuesday asking the company to submit documents regarding its practices commercial, product design effects, public health impact and issues related to their products. While it is clear that the concept of Juul is popular with young people, the FDA wants to better understand why they are tempted to buy and use it. 

« It is imperative that we understand this, and quickly. These documents can help us achieve this Dr. Gottlieb wrote.

In the announcement, the FDA notes that the company Juul Labs has already recognized the problem and has taken steps to limit it. In addition, Juul Labs officially announced Wednesday the launch of programs to keep young people out of their productss.
