*A recent study in Tobacco Control relating to an analysis of “JUUL-related” Instagram posts contains serious factual errors and mischaracterizations of JUUL Labs’ historical social-media activity, falsely tying the company to the activities of manufacturers of “JUUL compatible” products that we believe are illegally on the market.

* [https://pubpeer.com/publications/B1DD80F0C868A59D609F0B9699E5F9 Additional comments]: In fact, a completely different story emerges from the data as qualified by Juul's statement. This is that FDA's failure to control newly-introduced Juul look-a-likes (which are illegal if introduced after 8 August 2016) is spawning a lawless industry driven by social media and in conflict with Juul's efforts to control sales of its products to youth. The study does not interrogate the underlying reality and I think Juul is right to react strongly.
