FDA calls out Juul and Altria for backing off promises to fight teen vaping

Regulators recently accused Silicon Valley e-cigarette startup Juul and its new partial parent company, tobacco giant Altria, of reneging on promises they made to curb teen use of their products.

In a letter sent out this week, the head of the Food and Drug Administration requested a meeting with both companies to talk about what happened and how to move forward.

Researchers have said they believe Juul and its ultra-strong nicotine products have essentially created a new generation of people addicted to nicotine.
