Juul announces it will stop selling mint vapes in the US

According to Sina Finance, electronic cigarette giant Juul Labs announced that it will immediately stop selling mint-flavored vapes in the US, as new signs show that such products are becoming increasingly popular among American teenagers.<\/p>

A study published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that mint-flavored vapes are the most popular products among US 10th to 12th graders, with over 40% of respondents indicating it is their most commonly used vape variety.<\/p>

One study also showed that among the e-cigarette brands used by high school and middle school students, Juul is by far the most popular, with nearly 60% of high school students and 54% of middle school students indicating Juul as their commonly used brand.<\/p>

Juul CEO K.C. Crosthwaite stated that the findings are “unacceptable” while announcing the decision to stop selling mint-flavored vapes.<\/p>

Over the past year, Juul has reduced the number of vape flavors it offers to avoid increasing regulatory pressure due to the rising popularity of its products among teenagers.<\/p>

The company stated last year that it would remove popular vape flavors such as mango, cucumber, and fruit from physical retail stores in the US, leaving only tobacco and mint-flavored vapes available in physical retail, although these products would still be sold online.<\/p>

Last month, the company also announced that it would stop online sales of fruit and dessert-flavored vapes.<\/p>
