*A re-analysis of the data by Foxon & Shiffman (2) revealed that those analyses did not include replicate weights as specified in guidance from the PATH study team. Foxon & Shiffman (2) show that when the above analyses are performed with the replicate weights included, the associations above are statistically non-significant. (Foxon, Shiffman)

===2021: Comments RE: [https://pubpeer.com/publications/57A74561DC4B1B43B91E18A95A24A5 Use frequency and symptoms of nicotine dependence among adolescent E-cigarette users: Comparison of JUUL and Non-JUUL users]===
*In summary, by imputing respondents who reported that they “don’t know” which ENDS brand they used to the non-JUUL group even if they may have used JUUL, and by relying on ‘any’ JUUL use definitions which defined as JUUL users those who “usually” used a different ENDS brand, the original analysis systematically biases against the focal brand (JUUL) being studied. (Foxon, Shiffman)
*In summary, the results of Mantey et al. are invalid, because they were based on a definition of JUUL use that is not justified by the brand information in the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey.(Rodu)

*This article incorrectly states, “In the wake of the e-cigarette or vaping use-related lung injury (EVALI) outbreak in September 2019, electronic cigarette manufacturer JUUL voluntarily removed flavored pods aside from tobacco and menthol from the U.S. market” That sentence is false and creates a factually inaccurate and damaging link in a reader’s mind between JUUL products and the 2019 lung injuries (EVALI) when none exists. In fact, Juul Labs reduced its flavor portfolio to tobacco and menthol to combat underage use and the ingredients of JUUL products do not include vitamin E compounds or THC that were primarily linked to EVALI.

===2019: Comments RE: [https://www.juullabs.com/study-highlights-influence-of-illegal-compatible-products/ Characterising JUUL-related posts on Instagram]===
*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. (JUUL)
* [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. (Bates)

*Contrary to the conclusions of the Banks review, the evidence suggests that vaping nicotine is an effective smoking cessation aid; that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking tobacco; that vaping is diverting young people away from smoking; and that vaping by smokers is likely to have a major net public health benefit if widely available to adult Australian smokers [https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/attachments/ecigarettes/Electronic_cigarettes_and_health_outcomes_%20systematic_review_of_evidence.pdf Electronic cigarettes and health outcomes: systematic review of global evidence].

*Although this new research from Moshensky et al., does add to the scientific literature about previously marketed JUUL products, we believe the conclusions presented in the manuscript are not adequately supported by the study data. In addition, the lack of quantitative data on actual dosing limits the ability to establish relevance to potential human exposures from product use. Furthermore, the lack of a comparison against the effects of tobacco smoke limits the ability to evaluate these study findings in the context of the tobacco product risk continuum, and risk relative to use of combusted cigarettes.
