While leaving his post, Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA Commissioner, was quoted as being highly critical of the popular e-cigarette maker JUUL, on numerous occasions. He even went as far as claiming that the company has had a direct role in the increase of teen vaping.
Concern for JUUL has only become more certain, however, as 11 Democratic Senate Members are now voicing their concerns. In writing a letter to the company, these lawmakers asked for answers to questions about JUUL's marketing practices.
Consumer Affairs tells us that the Senate Members told JUUL they will not only look at how the company markets its product but also investigate its sale of a portion of the firm to Altria, a tobacco company.
