Juul's CEO steps down following backlash against e-cigarette company's marketing practices and a wave of illnesses linked to vaping in recent weeks.
Juul's CEO stepped down on Wednesday following backlash against the e-cigarette company's marketing practices and a wave of illnesses linked to vaping in recent weeks.
Juul said it does not plan to fight the Trump administration's flavored e-cigarette ban and will suspend broadcast, print and digital advertising efforts in the U.S., including the company's"Make the Switch," campaign, which the Food and Drug Administration said violated federal marketing regulations.
"These individuals are very good at their jobs when it comes to keeping people addicted to the products that they sell," Pacek said."I would suggest that we keep in mind the past actions of the tobacco industry, and their impacts on the public health, and view this move with a very healthy dose of skepticism."
The leadership shift at Juul comes as state governments are cracking down on vaping companies, including Juul, which dominates the e-cigarette market. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker declared a public health emergency in his state Tuesday and ordered a four-month ban on the sale of vaping products. New York and Michigan banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes earlier this month, and the Trump administration says it plans to put similar regulations in place on the federal level.
