Why so many comments about a ban? There isn't any mention of a ban... even if prosecuted for marketing to minors and found guilty, does not mean the product will be banned...
Should Juul be found guilty they will be punished via fines, just like a tobacoo company.
Of course Juul knew this and decided it was worth it because if their device went viral, which it did, they would be locked in as a market leader, which they are.
All they have to do now is lawyer up and try to survive the next year or so and they are locked in.
If they are fined so hard as to go out of business, the product is still not banned and you would have the next in line take the market leader position.
The product is here to stay, banning the devices will be more difficult than banning marijuana (which is a loosing battle).
Will Juul be a brand in the United States in 5 years? Maybe?
Will we still have e-cigarettes in the United States in 5 years, definitely.
If prohibition really occurs of course we will have 3d printed vapes and an even strong black market vape.
I think regulation will likely occur, likely making it require a prescription, but that is still not an outright ban.
- outsidetheparty 7y ago> Why so many comments about a ban? New York State banned flavored e-cigarettes recently, on the grounds that they encourage kids to take up vaping; that ban wasn't specifically targeted at Juul (who saw the writing on the wall and stopped selling flavors last year) but that's the brand name everyone knows, so that's why they're catching the investigative heat now.
- jroll 7y ago> Juul (who saw the writing on the wall and stopped selling flavors last year) What? Juul still sells flavors, even if you select that you live in NY or MI (also banning flavors) on the popup when you enter the site: https://www.juul.com/shop/pods https://www.juul.com/shop/pods
