> Juul’s dominance dissipated around the time that over a thousand people contracted a mysterious vaping-related sickness in the fall of 2019, and state and federal regulators started to investigate the company’s blatantly obvious marketing to teenagers.
Surely as hell I support investigating marketing to teenagers but in this case it would seem to me more adequate if they would rather investigate the cases of the sickness and find out what exactly was causing it. I even doubt the sick were using Juul.
- qvrjuec 5y agoI think the case was closed on the vaping sickness, as it was attributed to black-market THC vapes using vitamin E oil to thicken their otherwise diluted distillate to give the illusion of a higher quality product. It's too late for the PR damage to be undone to vapes in general.
- qwerty456127 5y agoReally? Where there no such problems with conventional liquids? I'm not aware about any cases which didn't involve VitE/oil but would prefer to be sure there were now such cases known to anyone and cite some credible sources for his. Occasionally people would bring this topic up and I want to respond "that's all about vaping vitamin E in black market THC oils, just stick to PG+VG from reputable vendors" but don't feel credible enough.
