Great news for American innovation and the fight to make cigarettes obsolete: FDA authorized the JUUL2 System, which includes tobacco- and menthol-flavored pods.

The FDA authorized 3 new JUUL e-cigarette products including the JUUL2 device, a tobacco-flavored pod, and a menthol-flavored pod. fda.gov/tobacco-products/ctp…
ALT FDA authorizes marketing of e-cigarette device and tobacco- and menthol-flavored pods
Yes, this was the most normal picture.
As @rgougelet explained at @foodanddruglaw yesterday, high quality, scientifically validated, and regulatorily compliant vapor products have helped switch millions of adult smokers away from cigarettes.
This is a major victory for public health and @juullabsinc is proud to be part of the solution.

💬 Viewpoint: Innovations like e-cigarettes provide rapid nicotine delivery with reduced health risks compared to cigarettes, yet misinformation and regulatory barriers limit their impact on smoking-related disease.

Boston area vapers: I am looking for someone to speak with me about smoking cessation to the second year medical students at Tufts Medical Center (in Chinatown) on Friday, October 10 from 8-9am. Let me know if you are available and willing to share your experience.

This is a must-view presentation and teach-in on the gateway effect; An excellent accessible discussion of how credible epidemiologists approach this issue.

We can't wait to get more authorized products onto the market! We have developed a portfolio of adult-oriented flavors beyond Virginia Tobacco and Menthol to provide adults who smoke with an increasing variety of options that we intend to submit to FDA for their review.
I'm happy to see you got authorization, but as long as it's only tobacco and menthol flavors, it won't do much to convince smokers to switch. Part of what worked for you back in the day was the flavors; a smoker deciding whether he'd rather burn another nasty-tasting stick or puff on that yummy tasting vape.

Huge accomplishment today for tobacco harm reduction! Juul's strong science won out in the end, and I'm honored to have contributed even a little to this effort.

So why has US FDA authorized #Juul? Because after the company produced over 100 scientific studies, despite FDA denying authorization initially in 2022, they have now decided that having Juul on the market is "appropriate for the protection of public health". That's the standard.
So proud to be part of the team that got us to this moment. Congratulations and thank you to all involved!

Exciting day for making cigarettes obsolete in America. FDA has issued marketing granted orders for the JUUL System, recognizing these products as "appropriate for the protection of public health." Over 2 million adults have switched completely from deadly cigarettes using JUUL products.

Thrilled to share that our very own @rgougelet, Vice President, US Regulatory Affairs, participated in a panel at the prestigious FDLI Annual Conference in D.C. This key event for the food and drug law community offered a deep dive into the complex legal, regulatory, compliance, and policy issues shaping the FDA-regulated landscape. Thank you, Robyn, for representing our company and contributing your valuable insights
Always appreciate @imaracingmom’s contribution to #nicotine conferences. Unfortunately, we so rarely hear from people who use nicotine in these types of conversations.
Glad @foodanddruglaw included her on the panel!
Indefatigable Annie Kleykamp at @foodanddruglaw presenting on smoking rates amongst older adults (65+) and the potential for harm reduction. Smoking rates have been stagnant, and there’s a misperception that nothing can be done because “they know very well they should quit.”
Annie has been passionate about this topic for the decade I’ve known her and am always delighted to hear her speak.

🚨New JUUL2 Study🚨
1) 6-week actual use study🧵
TL;DR
-24-33% (across 5 flavors) stopped smoking in past 30d
-Switchers reduced their dependence & respir symptoms
-Those who kept smoking usually (51-63%) reduced cigs/day.

The history of nicotine/tobacco is my favorite little niche. I’d be delighted to talk to you as the story of non-smoked tobacco is wild, even beyond the last decade.

My colleague Tyler Mace on last week’s ITC decision:
“We welcome fair competition in our mission to switch adult[s who smoke] away from combustible cigarettes, but we must protect our valuable intellectual property against the deliberate freeriding on our …
investments in homegrown U.S. technology. Today’s ruling sends a clear message that this freeriding violates U.S. law and American innovation will be protected”
