JUUL is currently in the crosshairs of a major controversy brewing over the safety of vaping products and the epidemic of teenage addiction. The company’s sales over the past 3 years shows a strong correlation to the rise in teenage addition that is attracting widespread criticism. In response to these concerns, JUUL told regulators that it never intended to attract underage consumers. Company executives went on to say that they needed to “earn back the trust of regulators, policy makers and society at large” as vaping by young people has reached “unacceptable’ levels.
In November 2018, the FDA revealed that vaping had increased nearly 80% among high school aged kids and 50% among middle school children over the past 12 months. A more recent FDA study warned about unauthorized health claims that JUUL was a safer alternative that cigarettes. Following that, the Trump administration proposed a ban on all flavored e-cigarettes except natural tobacco. In response, JUUL decided to voluntarily pull flavored pods from retail shelved in the U.S.
