FDA regulators said Juul's studies show its e-cigarettes are less harmful for adult smokers, who can benefit from switching completely to vaping.
The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday formally approved Juul to sell its vape devices and nicotine pods. Dr. Robert Jackler, a professor at Stanford Medicine who focuses on the impact of tobacco and advertising, speaks with "CBS Evening News" co-anchor John Dickerson about it.
A new four-part Netflix docuseries called "Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul" tells the story of the near-downfall of one of the fastest-growing companies in U.S. history. Series creators R.J. Cutler and Jamie Ducharme join "CBS Mornings" for a closer look.
The influx comes despite a crackdown by the FDA and involves mostly sweet and fruity flavors that make them teens' favorites, the AP says.
The embattled electronic cigarette maker is paying its largest settlement to date over the teen vaping surge.
