Their joint report "The Big Brexit" is part of a major inquiry into economic changes facing the country in the 2020s.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) is poised to ban Juul Labs’ e-cigarettes from the market, according to a Wednesday report from The Wall Street Journal . “The marketing denial order would follow a nearly two-year review of data presented by the vaping company, which sought authorization for its tobacco- and menthol-flavored products to stay on the U.S. market,” the outlet reported, noting that the agency’s decision could come as soon as Wednesday.
