Juul's nicotine products have been allowed to stay in stores pending review of its application to sell them.

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.

    Damage already done. My cousin who vapes switched from Juul to those convient gas station pens where you throw the whole thing, battery included, in the trash once its done. Worse quality, worse for the envrioment, more unknowns in the liquid. The FDAs ban on Juul did nothing but fill the market with worse products they couldn’t give a rats ass about because the initial juul ban was bullshit and they knew it. They actively, and I’d wager knowingly, made Americans less safe.

      Definitely. Disposables need to be banned, and everything should have to move to either a refillable or cartridge system. The E-waste alone is a nightmare, not to mention who knows what’s in those thousands of brands of sketchy gas station vapes.

      And now that the big tobacco companies have caught up, of course the “free market” can resume
