The FDA has authorized Juul Labs to sell an updated e-cigarette device, Juul2, featuring an optional age-verification system aimed at preventing underage use. This marks the first new version allowed for sale since Juul launched over a decade ago, with the FDA weighing benefits to adult smokers against youth risks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Health.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a reopening market in US vaping with the FDA allowing Juul's new device and age checks. Lock in your adult customer base now or lose advantage to compliant competitors.
