In September 2018, FDA officials declared teen vaping an “epidemic,” pointing to rising use of Juul, Reynolds American’s Vuse and other brands. The company called the FDA’s import ban “capricious” in a statement last month, adding that it “was given no opportunity to address any FDA concerns.” Company representatives did not respond to the AP's interview requests. “There’s no loophole to close,” King said, pointing out that FDA has recently shifted its focus to target disposable manufacturers.
