    R.J. Reynolds vs. JUUL: Corporate Cat Fight!

    I'm really interested to know if that's true. I can't find any information to suggest any corporate alliance between British American Tobacco and Altria but, as you said, it can be difficult to uncover in some cases. Can you find a source? Also, I have to ask, what's the joke about BT? Whatever...

    R.J. Reynolds vs. JUUL: Corporate Cat Fight!

    I think the name change you're thinking of was Philip Morris (owner of the Marlboro brand) which became Altria. Philip Morris completes its rebranding to Altria Group According to Wikipedia, "The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR), based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and founded by R. J...

    R.J. Reynolds vs. JUUL: Corporate Cat Fight!

    This is an EXCELLENT point, bombastinator, and something I've been researching for an upcoming post. As you said, in the EU, JUUL wasn't able dominate by offering nic levels higher than anyone else had ever offered before. In addition, in the United States, JUUL listed their nicotine levels by...

    R.J. Reynolds vs. JUUL: Corporate Cat Fight!

    Bombastinator, I think I confused you by including the photo of Marlboro cigarettes in the post. Marlboro and JUUL are owned by Philip Morris whose parent company is Altria. R.J. Reynolds is owned by Reynolds American Inc. which in turn is owned by British American Tobacco of the United Kingdom...

    R.J. Reynolds vs. JUUL: Corporate Cat Fight!

    Exactly. JUUL has a 74.6% market share while R.J. Reynold's Vuse brand only holds a 13.7% market share. No wonder most kids report using JUULs--and hence the sour grapes from R.J. Reynolds, LOL.

    Listening to these two behemoths slog it out, both cynically trying to use the FDA to knock out the competition, tells you a lot about what's really going on behind the scenes... R.J. Reynolds vs. JUUL: Corporate Cat Fight!

    Devastating News for the Vaping

    I think we'll have a bit more time so it might be advisable to wait before stocking up, especially since nic in particular tends to degrade over time. Even in a worst case scenario, we're probably four months away from the application deadline and you can bet that a lot of vape manufacturers...

    Devastating News for the Vaping

    That's a good question and I wonder about that myself. I got hopeful when Scott "Epidemic" Gottlieb resigned right after taking his stringent anti-vaping proposal to the White House. As I wrote in our blog post: "Gottlieb himself claimed he was resigning to “spend more time with family,”...

    FDA Issues Guidelines for Premarket Tobacco Product Applications

    As many here probably already know, the FDA just released the guidelines needed for premarket tobacco product applications. However, a lot of uncertainty still remains, most notably a clear timeline. I'd be really curious to hear what people think this move on the part of the FDA means. Are...

    JUUL Attracting More Negative Attention to Vaping

    It has been a harsh blow to my natural optimism, my trust in the system, to watch this unfold, GOMuniEsq. I started my business because I was just OVERJOYED to finally be able to leave cigarettes behind and I wanted to bring this wonderful new invention to as many people as I could. To see the...

    Nicotine Salts: A Vaper's Guide

    Most nic salts available are very high nicotine because they are formulated for use in pod style vape devices only. I know there are starting to be even some ultra low nic levels made with nic salts--I've seen some 6 mg and similar using nic salts just for the smoother hit. I'll change the...

    Nicotine Salts: A Vaper's Guide

    JUUL Attracting More Negative Attention to Vaping

    I don't think JUUL is responsible for every terrible ecig thing that has happened, but I think they're responsible for a lot. I think every vaper should be aware of JUUL's stance on flavors since teaming up with Altria, owner of the Marlboro brand. As noted in the blog post, in a presentation...

    FDA's "Deeming Rule" Deemed Unconstitutional

    I found this to be a very interesting piece of information, especially because it was featured in The Hill (a politically focused news site that has high credibility). Obviously we'll have to see how this plays out in the courts but I was not previously aware that this was even an argument. And...

    FDA's "Deeming Rule" Deemed Unconstitutional

    Yes, that is exactly the case. The principle of judicial review established by the Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison gives the court the authority to strike down rulings that are unconstitutional. The FDA is already being challenged on this issue in court by lawyers representing the vapor...
