Meanwhile Juul is running full-page ads in NYT calling for age limits on vaping. But is that what their lobbyists are telling legislators?
During an @OversightDems hearing this week we saw the total disregard Juul has displayed for public health by targeting high school students in their marketing efforts. @sfchronicle has more on the hearing and the strong words I had for Juul co-founder.https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Bay-Area-lawmaker-calls-Juul-the-worst-of-the-14144592.php …

Yes they do. I can vouch for that, having been in a few of those meetings.

What evidence do you have that they’re specifically targeting kids beyond whatever your erroneous assumptions tell you?

EVERYONE says it. And keeps on saying it. So it must be true.

Even their full page newspaper “not for kids” advertisements disguised as public service warnings tout the variety of flavors and cool technology. All they need is Joe Camel to close the sale.

the cat is out of the bag and vaping isn’t going away. But You have 2 choices: ban vaping and create the biggest black market you’ve ever seen, and cigarettes continue to kill people, or sensibly regulate the market let vaping make smoking obsolete.

You must believe that JUUL considered: 40 million legal US smokers with a demonstrated willingness to pay $200/month for cigarettes, and 14 million ILLEGAL high school kids ON ALLOWANCES (knowing that targeting them would create a public backlash). And chose the latter? Hm.

The US Congress is a bit embarassing....they just love public lynchings, even if the science does not support. Vapor products are the greatest smoking cessation product ever created. You are on the wrong side of history.
