The Food and Drug Administration authorized Juul e-cigarettes for the U.S. market on Thursday, ending a lengthy standoff with regulators and lawmakers who accused the company of spurring an epidemic of e-cigarette use among youths.<\/p>\n

The company was required to prove that the products were \u201cappropriate for the protection of public health\u201d under agency rules. Juul said in a statement that it met the bar, in part, by showing that its products had helped about two million adults quit smoking cigarettes.<\/p>\n

The F.D.A. authorized both the e-cigarette system and menthol- and tobacco-flavored cartridges. Though concerns about the health effects of e-cigarettes are mounting<\/a>, they are still widely viewed by experts as safer than cigarettes.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s F.D.A. authorization of Juul products marks an important step toward making the cigarette obsolete,\u201d K.C. Crosthwaite, the company\u2019s chief executive, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Crosthwaite said underage use of Juul products was \u201cdown 98 percent since 2019, to one-half of 1 percent of youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

At least one lawmaker panned the decision. Senator Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, recounted in a statement Thursday that Juul had \u201cignited\u201d an epidemic of vaping among youths and \u201clied about the harms of their vapes.\u201d<\/p>\n
