I don't think you can blame Juul for your own mistakes and behavior.
But Juuls are seriously bad, and this is coming from an ecig/vape user. I cannot emphasize enough that people need to stay away from Juul. The sheer nicotine they pack in their pods is habitually addictive, they're ridiculously expensive, their quality control leads to constantly leaky pods... any other solution is better as far as I've experienced.
Even the other "gas station ecig" products (Vuse, Blu, etc) aren't nearly as bad. But if you're trying to quit, get a normal sub-ohm device and create a plan. The beauty of vape as a quitting mechanism for cigarettes is that you have complete control over the nicotine content. Buy a bottle of 6/9mg/ml juice + a bottle of 0mg/ml juice of the same flavor, and create a dilution plan. Week 1, full strength, week 2, 90% 9mg 10% 0mg, etc etc.
Once the nic addiction is gone, all that's left is the ritual, which is a bitch to get rid of, but you can do it. Stick on 0mg, ween it off, and replace it with new healthier habits.

- oxide 8y agoYes. The problem is that as you taper off the opiates you basically prolong the suffering by going through mild withdrawal with each step down. The hard part is going to zero opiates, and tapering is infinitely preferable to jumping off a large dose, but it does not make it any less taxing on your will.
- smt88 8y agoOK, you can't blame Juul. Can you blame its ads? Can you force it to warn about its products? Can you argue that Juul doesn't deserve all of the profits it makes from selling a risky product?
