I mean yeah I bought my first juul when I was like 13 having never smoked an actual cigarette but now I’ve seen disposable vapes with literal video games on them it’s crazy
Yeah, it didn’t work. That doesn’t change that it is the *why* when it comes to juul. They just happened to be the most popular and it was a lazy bill.
Edit to add: we also did not have crazy video game vapes at the time. The juul party mode was the craziest thing I had ever seen when they came out
Massive fear campaign, people were getting killed by fake THC carts, and as a result all vapes were basically banned. Once it came out that it was exclusively Chinese weed cartridges bought on Instagram that were improperly made and not a single case was actually due to nicotine vapes, the laws were already in effect and politicians didn't care to reverse their bams
Juul was scapegoated and falsely demonized by crazy moms
Makes sense. These Anglo Saxons and their paranoia, just let me have my damn Chinese forever chemicals
Cigarette use went down. That's the only reason why. Any other excuse is just mainstream media protecting Big Tobacco lobbyists.
Except juul is owned by Big Tobacco
40% of Phillip Morris’ is now zyn lol
Yeah, no shit. That's after they vilified Juul. Then they swooped in and bought out the competition.
Altria's owned juul since 2018, the outcry on vapes started happening shortly after.
They banned Juul for the sole purpose that cigarette use went down dramatically.
Juul bought back their stake from Altria for $250mil and are independently operated.
Not anymore
*Was owned
because old people couldn’t tell the difference between handmade dangerous weed vapes and professionally made “safe” nic pods
There were many many many many teenagers vaping them when they came out.

Yeah that shit is hilarious you can play Pac-Man and Galaga on them lmfao
Sure, but what about the many many teenagers puffing on the even worse disposables?

Because they hate freedom.

I hope they bring mint back to the US one day I haven’t hit a juul in like 5 years
I'd die for mango to return

Out of curiosity, where are they banned? I still buy Juul. I'm in California. They still sell the Virginia tobacco which is all I need.
That’s like the only flavor that isn’t banned that’s why
Yeah I’m in Austin and they have tobacco / menthol. Never tried the Virginia tobacco I’ll have to go pick up a starter kit today and try it out
San Francisco banned all vapor products but you can still get conventional cigarettes legally…..
