Juul was always a scapegoat. They are nothing other vapes aren't; they were just popular at the wrong time and took the brunt of America's ridiculous attitude to vaping

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They also had some pretty hefty advertising directed at kids.
Such as?
You mean the ridiculous attitude of thinking that vaping shouldn't be aimed at kids?
Banning flavors was the most effective move to deter kids from vaping JUUL. They all use the gas station disposables now.
When I was an underage smoker, advertising did nothing to affect my purchase. It was all about access. If they really want to address underage vaping, they need to crack down on places that sell to minors, just as they did with cigarettes.
Banning flavors was the most effective move to deter kids from vaping JUUL.
Just like how we ended underage drinking by banning adults from buying flavored vodka.
Oh, no, hang on, that flavored poison, though worse, isn’t unpopular.
Phillip morris was just pissed they didn’t think of it first, tbh.
Wait, Juul was banned? I can still buy them at every gas station in my area
Well they appealed the ban, so they stayed on the shelves.
It's actually like the second paragraph of this article.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday that it has reversed its ban on Juul e-cigarettes while it reviews new court decisions and considers updated information provided by the vape maker.
Vaping reached a peak of approximately 28% among all high school students in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While Juul has since entered a period of financial retrenchment, sales of e-cigarettes and other alternative nicotine products have continued to grow.
In a statement, Juul said it appreciated the FDA’s latest decision, adding it now looks forward to "re-engaging with the agency on a science- and evidence-based process to pursue a marketing authorization" for its products.
"We remain confident in the quality and substance of our applications and believe that a full review of the science and evidence will demonstrate that our products meet the statutory standard of being appropriate for the protection of public health," the company said.
Even as Juul has pursued its appeal of the 2022 ban, that initial FDA ruling significantly disrupted the company's finances, prompting a bailout from two of its largest investors, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
The original article contains 408 words, the summary contains 189 words. Saved 54%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
