The Food and Drug Administration announcedThursday that it has reversed its ban on Juul e-cigarettes while it reviews new court decisions and considers updated information provided by the vape maker.
The FDA first ordered the company to stop selling its products in 2022, but they have stayed on shelves pending an appeal. Juul has maintained its status as the No. 2 e-cigarette maker in the U.S. during this time.
Now, the FDA says Juul’s products are back under agency review — although it emphasized that this new status was not an indication they would be fully cleared.
It’s outrageous that we are still letting corpos addict our children to nicotine products in 2024. You should have to be a nerd and do the equivalent of rolling your own cigarettes or have a prescription to get vape carts. It should not be sold at fucking gas stations next to energy shots and candy bars.
control your damn kids
What gas station sells candy bars behind the counter
it’s outrageous that parents can’t take responsibility for their kids
The answer to predatory corporations targeting children is not helicopter parenting. Children need communities in which they can safely grow into independent, self-reliant adults. That means as a society we need to protect them from corporations that seek to exploit their naivete, whether that be via gambling, drugs, social media, or anything else.
