There has been some confusion regarding recent letters sent by state enforcement authorities, including the Minnesota and Vermont attorneys general, instructing retailers not to sell unauthorized e-cigarette and oral nicotine products and warning them of the consequences for such sales. We encourage efforts to support a well-regulated marketplace for vapor products and believe these actions are an important step in the right direction, but these communications have no impact on JUUL products.

All JUUL products currently sold in each state may continue to be sold in those markets. Below you will find statements clarifying this point from select enforcement authorities. Please reach out to your Juul Labs representative if you have questions about another state or jurisdiction.

Vermont Letter

Minnesota Letter

Several states legislatures have enacted product directories (see embedded links below for specific guidance), while others have passed product directories this year but are yet to be implemented. The directories allow states to prohibit the sale of vapor products that are not authorized by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) or subject to a pending premarket application. These laws are intended to reduce the proliferation of illicit vapor products. This chart will be updated as states implement product directories.

Resolution of issues from the company’s past and its historical legal challenges has remained a critical priority to secure certainty for our future. We are pleased to have reached a settlement with eight additional states (California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, and West Virginia) and the District of Columbia. We have now settled with 48 states and territories, providing over $1 billion to participating states to further combat underage use and develop cessation programs. The terms of the agreement, like prior settlements, reflect our current business practices, which were implemented as part of our company-wide reset in the fall of 2019. As part of the agreement, Juul Labs has committed to providing financial resources to further combat underage use and develop cessation programs.
