The funny part is that JUUL discontinued their "fruity / sweet" flavors years ago. Meanwhile, that market has been taken over by dozens of competitors that have every dessert flavor you could imagine at every gas station in the country. These devices are single-use which means you throw away the entire device (including the battery) when it's empty. This is worse for the environment, easier for high schoolers to use discreetly and, importantly, enables evasion of regulations that were written specifically to target pod + rechargeable battery systems like JUUL.
Tobacco-flavored JUUL pods are mainly used by former smokers as an alternative to cigarettes. High schoolers are vaping hot pink, mint bubblegum flavored, one-time-use Puff Bars now. They won't even notice when JUUL is banned.
- jorgesborges 4y agoThis is spot on. There’s an abundance of disposable e-cigarette brands here in Canada that resemble something I could manufacture in my garage. It’s scary. When I was using them — to quit smoking — some clearly had a worse and almost immediate impact on my lungs than others. There’s no consistency. How did banning Juul help us here? There’s other rechargeable vapes available now like Stlth, which seem far better than the disposables, but it’s still madness.
- easrng 4y agoMy sample size is not large but I know more people at my high school who vape weed than nicotine.
- ProjectArcturis 4y agoSo ban those too, what's the problem?
