Just went to juul.com - it clearly states in a pop-up it's an alternative not to "quit": JUUL Labs’ mission is to eliminate cigarettes. JUUL is intended for adult smokers who want to switch from combustible cigarettes. Further, it's peppered all around their site: Warning: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. I don't vape, but I feel like this case is bull.

Do you feel like this advertising sends the same message: http://www.ggeeoorrggiiaa.com/new-page-37/ http://www.ggeeoorrggiiaa.com/new-page-37/ ?

  They're really pushing it given the precedent the ban on cigarette TV ads set.

  Yes, it's just a modern, hip advertisement. I don't follow the rules around ads and smoking but even that ad makes it clear that it's still smoking. The terminology was "Smoking evolved" and "x # of Puffs."

  I mean the PAX advertising doesn't really scream marijuana, but if you buy it you know what it's for. http://www.thenoonstore.com/?attachment_id=650 http://www.thenoonstore.com/?attachment_id=650

Last August https://web.archive.org/web/20170823043711/https://www.juulvapor.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20170823043711/https://www.juulv... it said it was "satisfying" and had "cigarette-like nicotine levels". Both of those are apparently false.

  I'm confused - are you agreeing the the folks bringing the lawsuit or saying the product doesn't work?

    I'm agreeing with the ones bringing the lawsuit. The nicotine levels are higher than cigarettes and the users are not satisfied (according to the article anyway).
