*these statements have not been validated by the FDA

There are countless products from weight loss to joint pain to "improve your memory" that sidestep the issue with those 9 simple words. I don't see why it would be any different for Juul.

These products can do that because they contain no substances that need approval in any way, so they are likely just food supplements without any active ingredients.

Nicotine will count as an active ingredient, you can't just slap these 9 words to any random drug and just sell it over the counter.

Because that language is for dietary supplements which have a specific legislative carve out from falling under FDA regulation.
