FDA Delays Decision on JUUL & Other Updates from FDA on E-Cigarettes.

September 9 was the deadline for FDA to decide what e-cigarettes can stay on the market. What FDA announced this afternoon is that it has denied additional flavored e-cigarette applications and has taken action on about 93% of the total timely-submitted applications. In their release, FDA importantly recognized the role that flavors play in youth e-cigarette use.  However, FDA hasdelayed making a decision on Juul and other e-cigarettes which comprise most of the market share.  Meaning, while FDA has said it has ruled on most applications, it hasn’t ruled on the products that have driven the youth e-cigarette epidemic.
