Juul to introduce new type of vaporizer after FDA crackdown

juul Labs Inc. plans to present to federal regulators a new version of its vaporizer designed to unlock only for users at least 21 years old as part of an application the controversial e-cigarette maker must file to keep its products in the U.S. market.

All manufacturers must submit their vaping products for Food and Drug Administration review by May 12 to continue selling them in the U.S.

juul plans to submit more than 110 scientific studies as part of its application. Among them are studies that followed about 25,000 cigarette smokers for a year after they first purchased Juul. After six months, about 50% of them had completely switched to Juul from cigarettes. After 12 months, about 55% had switched.

The company also intends to present research showing substantially lower levels of carcinogens and other toxicants in Juul's aerosol compared with cigarette smoke and lower levels of toxicants in users' blood after they switched from cigarettes to Juul.

"The new vaporizer will come locked and will require verification that the user is at least 21 years old before it can be unlocked, the person said. It won't track nicotine consumption."

The company plans to submit its current U.S. device to the FDA by May,

There was speculation that they wouldn't even submit the existing device. I guess that ends such speculation.

Wow. Those are some pretty compelling stats.
