There is a difference between the other companies you listed and Juul.
Juul does not have great people working for it, and the marketing was intentionally dishonest towards the most vulnerable in our society.
None of those other companies specifically target kids with advertising and subversive grassroots efforts to try to get them hooked on drugs.

- google234123 6y agoAnd that is equivalent to getting them hooked on drugs? Are you saying a toy company marketing toys to kids is equivalent to what Juul did because they both targeted children?
- t-writescode 6y agoI was responding to this part > None of those other companies specifically target kids with advertising and subversive grassroots efforts to try to get them hooked on [their product] I didn't intend to equate it to drugs; and, admittedly, I didn't fully read that last sentence.
- askafriend 6y agoApple doesn't pass out private investment prospectuses to Hollywood celebrity teens in an attempt to build grass-root youth influencer support for their tobacco products. Apple makes headphones that work well for listening to music and they just show you that.
