Juul Halts Sales of Mint-Flavored Pods in U.S.

E-cigarette maker Juul announced it will stop selling mint-flavored pods. The company already stopped sales of fruit- and dessert-flavored e-cigarettes, HealthDay reports. Juul will only sell menthol and tobacco flavors.

A study published last week suggests that mint and mango are teens’ preferred flavors for e-cigarettes.

In a statement, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said, “Voluntary tobacco industry policies have never worked and are not a substitute for mandatory, industry-wide regulation. We urge the Trump Administration to swiftly implement its plan to have the FDA clear the market of all flavored e-cigarettes, without exception. With over 5 million kids now using e-cigarettes and the youth epidemic getting worse every day, there is no time to waste in eliminating all flavored e-cigarettes.”
