They've developed a special formulation of vape juice that causes a much more dramatic spike in blood nicotine levels, which experts confirm increases the risk of addiction dramatically compared to the gentle plateau of blood nicotine caused by other vaping products [0].
Maybe this is beneficial on net (Juul confirms outright that the nicotine spike is the entire point of their formula, but they say it's intentional to help people quit smoking) but don't try to muddy the issue by claiming they're being singled out for no reason.

I have heard nothing about altered Nicotine composition, only that "vaping liquids can have a pack of cigarettes' worth" of Nicotine, and separately, that Juul has flavors, as if that's what draws teens into it.
