That's a tenuous link to make. Vaping has contributed to harm reduction for a lot of people trying to get of cigarettes and they should be applauded for that.

- ThePowerOfFuet 7y agoYou know full well that isn't all of it. People don't choose mango flavour to stop smoking.
- samatman 7y agoI did. I’m more than twice as old as the oldest high school student. By the way, screw you, specifically, and every other morally-panicked scold who have made it illegal to buy my preferred flavors off the shelf. Hope you’re proud.
- creddit 7y agoClearly outside of community guidelines with the personal attack.
- toasterlovin 7y agoFWIW, the teen usage as the root cause that made it impossible for you to buy your preferred flavor legally. The more scolds are downstream.
- leetcrew 7y agoplease don't make such authoritative claims about stuff like this. I'm a 26yo ex-smoker, and I absolutely chose mango flavor to quit smoking. most of my (similar aged) friends that vape agree it's one of the best juul flavors. a key feature of vapes is that they actually taste better than cigarettes.
- bigyikes 7y agoI'll occasionally spring for a disposable vape during stressful times, and now the lack of flavored cartridges has me considering a pack of cigarettes.
- JamesBarney 7y agoI did, and almost everyone I know who quit smoking from Juul did as well. Where did your confidence come from on this topic? Adults love fruity things. Margaritas, mimosas, juice, etc..
- stronglikedan 7y ago> People don't choose mango flavour to stop smoking. Of course they do! Fruit flavors help reduce the palatability of tobacco. I specifically chose them for that reason, and now my once cherished tobacco tastes disgusting, as intended. That one cheat cigarette while drinking is no longer desirable. While I share the sentiment of the others responding to you, I won't echo it out of civility, but they're correct. People like you have just made it exponentially harder for people who want to quit, while doing nothing to keep vapes out of the hands of teens who want them.
- pinot 7y agoIn particular, Juul's tobacco carts tasted horrible. Same with their menthol.
- dc3k 7y ago> People don't choose mango flavour to stop smoking. What an absurd assertion to make. Flavoured juice is a major reason I quit smoking cigarettes at 27. I know many, many people with similar stories.
- shawnz 7y agoI agree with the GP's general claim that Juuls were designed to attract teenagers. But I don't agree with this one. Adults like flavored products too. Why wouldn't they?
- bagacrap 7y agoIt's not an either/or. Juul did market to teenagers. Juul did cause an enormous rebound in the amount of teenage nicotine use, which had fallen close to zero. For you it's a harm reduction tool and that's great, but it's not why Juul is so wildly successful.
