Former Canadian Health Minister Rona Ambrose has joined Juul Labs Inc's board of directors, the company said on Friday, as the e-cigarette company tries to reset its relationship with global regulators.[SAN FRANCISCO] Former Canadian Health Minister Rona Ambrose has joined Juul Labs Inc's board of directors, the company said on Friday, as the e-cigarette company tries to reset its relationship with global regulators.
Ms Ambrose is a well-known former politician who has held numerous roles in government, including interim leader of Canada's Conservative Party. She is the first woman to join Juul's seven-member board. Juul chief executive officer KC Crosthwaite said in a statement that Ms Ambrose's"unique public health and regulatory experience" can help the company reposition itself.
Juul says its mission is to eliminate cigarettes, though it has been blamed by some regulators and public-health advocates for hooking a new generation on nicotine. Juul says it has never marketed to minors. It's important to look for ways to reduce the harm caused by cigarettes, Ms Ambrose said in the statement, as smoking remains the world's leading cause of preventable death.
