Following months of pressure and speculation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has rejected Juul’s premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs), officially forcing the infamous manufacturer off the market.
Many health and anti-vape groups have been pressuring the FDA to flat out reject any applications by Juul for months.
In fact earlier this year, several anti-tobacco groups sent a letter to the FDA urging it to take action on the outstanding PMTAs and encouraging the agency to deny applications for flavoured vaping products.
While entities such as the American Lung Association (ALA) and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said they are “deeply disappointed” that the FDA was still studying a percentage of the applications, including Juul’s. ECigIntelligence revealed that the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids has gone as far as saying that it intends to take the agency to court if it did not “immediately clarify” the timeline and reason for these delays.
