    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday that it has reversed its ban on Juul e-cigarettes while it reviews new court decisions and considers updated information provided by the vape maker.

    Vaping reached a peak of approximately 28% among all high school students in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    While Juul has since entered a period of financial retrenchment, sales of e-cigarettes and other alternative nicotine products have continued to grow.

    In a statement, Juul said it appreciated the FDA’s latest decision, adding it now looks forward to “re-engaging with the agency on a science- and evidence-based process to pursue a marketing authorization” for its products.

    “We remain confident in the quality and substance of our applications and believe that a full review of the science and evidence will demonstrate that our products meet the statutory standard of being appropriate for the protection of public health,” the company said.

    Even as Juul has pursued its appeal of the 2022 ban, that initial FDA ruling significantly disrupted the company’s finances, prompting a bailout from two of its largest investors, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
