Your disingenuous description of the vaping industry ("taken over" by tobacco companies -- they own about 20% of it at best) is pretty slick. You do a great job serving the political status quo, and protecting cigarettes.https://twitter.com/kzernike/status/989121573339697152 …

Demonizing the first real threat to the cigarette industry, and pushing the FDA to set an unreachable public health standard for low-risk smoking alternatives helps cigarettes. The architects of this moral panic are doing those things. You're helping them. That's all.
I think the story pretty well outlines the balance here: trying to find something that works for adults but doesn't initiate teen smoking. (Also, the story notes the concerns about said moral panic. Part of presenting both sides.)

Did you even look at the actual numbers from Truth's survey? If 75% of the surveyed youth don't even *recognize* the product, and 90% haven't tried it even once, I have to agree with
@Amelia_RH that this is a lot of fear-driven nothing. - 1 more reply

Journalists who are concerned about youth initiation of vapor products should stop perpetuating the idea that "juuling," or vaping, for that matter, is widespread among young people - especially those who have never smoke/would never smoke.
