Experts say FDA ban on Juul e-cigarettes could be the 'opening gun' for a crackdown on the entire industry

"I believe the reason is essentially political," Kenneth Warner, dean emeritus of public health at the University of Michigan, said."There was so much opposition to Juul — from parent groups, organisations like the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids , and legislators in state legislatures and Congress – that FDA simply could not have authorized the sale of Juul. The reaction would have been fierce and possibly even threatened the agency's funding.

"This rebuff to Juul could signal their willingness to remove the nicotine from cigarettes, which will take the addictive sting out of smoking," Robert Proctor, a professor of the history of science at Stanford University, told Insider.
