JUUL CEO Steps Down, Former FDA Commissioner Speaks.

"Kevin Burns has stepped down as chief executive of embattled e-cigarette maker Juul, amid intensifying scrutiny of the brand's marketing practices and a public health crisis that has seen nine deaths related to vaping products and 530 confirmed cases of vaping-related lung disease" cites CNBC News today.
