“Juul Labs Inc. has filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration to continue selling its e-cigarettes in the U.S., the company announced Thursday, a highly anticipated milestone that will determine the fate of the once-highflying company. Juul said it is seeking authorization for its device as well as its Virginia tobacco and menthol-flavored pods with three per cent and five oer cent nicotine concentrations. Mango, mint and other flavors that the company stopped offering last year after facing regulatory scrutiny for allegedly attracting minors weren’t included. Juul said it included more than 110 studies in its application, including research on the public-health effects of its products and whether cigarette smokers transition to them. Smoking tobacco is the top cause of preventable death. Questions about underage vaping will be critical in the regulatory review, not only for Juul, but for all companies that plan to submit a so-called Premarket Tobacco Product Application. The deadline for companies to submit applications to remain on the market is now Sept. 9.”
