Where did you get the idea that I made anyone else's decision? I am literally just asking for the option of vaping without nicotine to exist.
My theory is only that many people (especially kids without a history of smoking) would choose vaping without nicotine on their own if they had the option. Juul et al know that would drastically shrink their revenue, so they, the profit seeking company they are, made sure their product had an addictive substance in it, and then marketed it to people not already exposed to the addiction. Requiring them to make an equal product without nicotine is at worst market regulation that basically all consumable products go through and at best a public safety mandate.

Especially when we are talking underage users who are not really able to take advantage of the full market. I did some googling and even promising links advertising no nicotine alternatives didn't even seem to have any in stock to order. Also noticed some disturbing trends with hiding the nicotine levels by mixing grams and percentage strengths and referring to it as "nic" which the skeptic in me says this is to divert attention from it being nicotine and people doing research on its addictive properties for those young enough not to know from anti-smoking campaigns. Edit: Did a bit more digging and found some, but still likely harder to get if under 21.
