JUUL Labs, one of the country's largest and most popular e-cigarette and vaping brands, issued a statement on Wednesday in response to the government of Michigan's ban on flavored electronic cigarette products, Gretchen Whitmer.

Here is the statement of JUUL:

"Although we have not considered the decision as a whole, we believe that strong and serious measures must be taken regarding certain flavored products, which is why we have already stopped selling our JUULpods without tobacco or menthol at traditional retail stores, strongly support the FDA write guidelines and aggressively fight counterfeit and compatible flavored products that may appeal to young people and can be made with unknown ingredients, quality standards and unknown manufacturing. There is simply no room for appealing aromas for children on the market and would also favor a total ban on such flavors, including those that mimic candies, foods and beverages unique to children.

"With regard to menthol products, including mint, we believe that, to encourage adult smokers to give up the use of fuels, the leading cause of avoidable death in the world, they should be available at retail alongside tobacco and menthol cigarettes.To restrict young people's access even in these stores, we strongly advocate Tobacco 21 laws and collaborate with retailers to implement the audit standards of the The most stringent age ever imposed for an age-restricted retail product, far exceeding that in place for sale, under JUUL Labs' Retail Access Control Standards (RACS) point of sale at the retailer is immediately locked when a JUUL product is scanned and remains locked until a retailer electronically analyzes a valid card, i issued by the government to verify the age and validity of the identity ".

Governor Whitmer's ban covers retail and online sales and will come into effect on Wednesday. It will last six months, and after six months, it can be renewed for another six months, according to the governor's office.

Whitmer told the Washington Post that the Michigan Department of Health had discovered that youth vaping "is a public health emergency." She then went on MSNBC to talk about the ban.

"My medical manager this week said that we had a public health crisis, that it was time to act." So I use my executive power as governor to order the Ministry of Health and Social Services to ban flavored electronic cigarettes, advertising and misleading advertising in which they are engaged, that it is "healthy" or "good for you," Whitmer said Wednesday morning on MSNBC.
