New photo FDA seizes thousands of documents from Juul

The FDA has seized thousands of documents from Juul Labs related to its sales and marketing practices after conducting a surprise inspection.

The raid was part of the agency's latest crackdown on e-cigarette companies.

Last month, the FDA said it was considering a ban on flavored e-cigarettes from Juul and other companies as it grapples with an 'epidemic' of youth e-cigarette use that threatens to create a new generation of nicotine addicts. 

It came just as the CDC released a report revealing that Juul sales rocketed seven-fold (641 percent) last year, and health officials warn teenagers are the target of marketing strategies. 

What's more, another report published today by the RAND Corporation showed teenagers who vape are more likely to smoke real cigarettes, suggesting there may be merit to the fears that Juuls could be a gateway to tobacco.

The Food and Drug Administration conducted a surprise raid on the Juul headquarters today and seized more than a thousand papers pertaining to their marketing techniques

Juul, an e-cigarette shaped like a USB flash drive, has about 72 percent of the US market for e-cigarette sales, according to Wells Fargo. 

Sales of Juul grew more than seven-fold from 2016 to 2017, and held the greatest share of the US e-cigarette market by December 2017, according to an analysis of retail sales released by the CDC in JAMA today.

As reports have grown of teens smoking them even at school, health officials have ramped up their warnings that Juul is one of the most potent nicotine products on the market, and nicotine is highly damaging to a child's brain development. 

'Juuling,' along with 'vaping,' has become a common term for e-cigarette use by teenagers on social media and at US high schools.

The inspection, which was completed on Friday, followed the agency's request for information in April for documents that would help it better understand the reportedly high rates of youth use and the youth appeal of Juul products.

Juul did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.

The FDA also said it had conducted inspections of several of Juul's contract manufacturing facilities earlier this year. 

Reacting to the news of the increased sales today, CDC director Dr Robert Redfield, MD, said: 'The popularity of JUUL among kids threatens our progress in reducing youth e-cigarette use.

'We are alarmed that these new high nicotine content e-cigarettes, marketed and sold in kid-friendly flavors, are so appealing to our nation's young people.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
