Juul plans to continue selling menthol-,and tobacco-flavored products in stores, according to people familiar with the matter. Critics say the fruity flavors and Juul Labs’ hip marketing campaigns on social media have made vaping attractive to teens. A big number of Juul Labs’ U.S. sales come from minors, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in an interview, citing an FDA analysis. In addition to pulling back from bricks-and-mortar stores, Juul Labs executives have embarked on a number of efforts to quell teen use, while saying they never intended to attract kids. Juul Labs said that “99.7% of Juul mentions on Twitter” come from outside the company.
