The FDA has previously issued warnings to retailers about selling e-cigarette products to minors. Gottlieb said it is prepared to go as far as banning flavored nicotine products like Juul to keep them away from teenagers, even if that means they aren't available for adults who use the products as an alternative to traditional cigarettes.

Juul said it is committed to working with the FDA to prevent minors from using its products and that company officials met with the FDA last week to discuss ways to better enforce customer age restrictions.

\"We want to be part of the solution in preventing underage use, and we believe it will take industry and regulators working together to restrict youth access,\" Juul Labs CEO Kevin Burns said in a statement Tuesday.

Burns also said Juul is set to release a plan to reduce youth access to its products in the coming weeks.
