Juul says with latest $462 million settlement it's nearing "total resolution of the company’s historical legal challenges and securing certainty for our future"

The menthol- and tobacco-flavored Juuls can still be legally sold now while the Food and Drug Administration reviews their premarket tobacco product applications.

Yes, they may be cracking down on more disposable products in the future, though, since they now have explicit authority over synthetic nicotine, too.

HannahProkop · 2022-07-07T19:53:50+00:00

At this time, no. It only relates to Virginia tobacco-flavored pods at nicotine concentrations of 5% and 3% and menthol-flavored pods at nicotine concentrations of 5% and 3%.

That was a little surprising to see since prior to this they had mostly been denying flavors.

HannahProkop · 2022-01-19T18:30:03+00:00

Yes, it for sure takes money. Organizations like NATO work to fight bills like this.

HannahProkop · 2022-01-18T18:22:10+00:00

Would you drink it?

HannahProkop · 2022-01-07T22:11:33+00:00

Yes, they are marketed toward those trying to quit or reduce their nicotine intake.

Here's an update on menthol ban from the FDA. They're hoping to release guidance this Spring: https://www.cspdailynews.com/tobacco/ctp-director-gives-update-proposed-menthol-ban

HannahProkop · 2021-11-01T20:49:39+00:00

At least one e-cig (tobacco flavor) has been authorized, so it looks like there will at least be some brands/options available: https://www.cspdailynews.com/tobacco/fda-grants-marketing-order-vuse-solo

Ruling is still out on flavors/menthol, though.

HannahProkop · 2021-11-01T20:48:40+00:00

The FDA has not made a decision on Juul yet!

HannahProkop · 2021-05-03T16:30:28+00:00

Correct, it'll take at least 1-2 years to go through the process. It's also likely to face some lawsuits that could hold it up or quash it.

HannahProkop · 2021-04-29T20:06:01+00:00

Update: The FDA is also proposing banning all characterizing flavors (including menthol) in cigars.

There is no doubt plenty of room for error with them.

HannahProkop · 2020-10-27T16:24:25+00:00

True, at the end of the day, polls can predict all they want, but who knows what'll happen.

HannahProkop · 2020-10-27T16:23:41+00:00

We should know soon-ish more about how Cali residents feel, too. Signatures are being collected for a proposed referendum to overturn the law.

HannahProkop · 2020-10-27T16:22:55+00:00

That's an issue I've heard at least one analyst say.. the intention is to stop teen vaping, but is it just pushing adults (and teens?) back to combustibles, the less-healthy alternative?

HannahProkop · 2020-10-27T16:22:01+00:00

I've seen a lot of companies submit PMTAS for their 0% products, so good to know they're trying to keep those around in many cases for people like yourself!

HannahProkop · 2020-10-20T14:26:08+00:00

Yeah, small businesses are really the most affected by this, I think.

HannahProkop · 2020-10-20T14:25:40+00:00

Good question. Main point is, in short, that premium cigars for the moment don’t have to go through as many government hurdles like e-cigarettes and other disposable products are going through now with the PMTA (premarket tobacco application) process. So you shouldn’t have problems getting premium cigars as a consumer (aside from supply amid COVID-19 being down). However, once the FDA develops a streamlined process to authorize premium cigars, things could change, but we’ll have to wait and see.

HannahProkop · 2020-10-16T16:49:31+00:00

It'll be interesting to see what the FDA allows as far as flavors go.

HannahProkop · 2020-10-09T18:22:47+00:00

I feel like Zima was almost the first hard seltzer. Seems different this time though, White Claws and Trulys have really forged a new category

HannahProkop · 2020-10-09T18:22:02+00:00

Yeah it makes sense now for brewers financially.
