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.

    I disagree, that just adds more red tape to the process. IMO, they should just stop making disposables altogether. A proper mod kit is way better for the environment, and significantly less expensive than disposables, in the long run.

      Yep. While mods them self don’t cost nothing, in general I’d say (compared to what a cigarette smoker would spend) this activity is relatively cheap. Biggest cost for me is flavoring and nicotine. The rest is negligible.

        Incredibly dumb take, that’s how you get the dangerous shit on the black market killing people.

        Legal, taxed, regulated, not so hard to get you’re better off going to someone on a corner and losing a lung.
