The company has come under intense pressure in its home market and is facing hundreds of lawsuits as well as state and federal investigations into claims its early advertising hooked a generation of teenagers on nicotine. Despite the mounting criticism in the US – including a raid by the Food and Drugs Administration on Juul's offices – investor presentations show that Altria is confident international revenues can offset the predicted slump in US growth. It hopes Juul's global sales will match domestic ones within four years. Juul is requesting private meetings with ministers and ambassadors across the world to promote its e-cigarettes, influence countries' vaping laws and stop taxes being slapped on its products. Lobbyists have suggested Juul devices can help people quit nicotine altogether, a claim the company would be banned from making in the US, according to transcripts of meetings seen by the Bureau.
