Did that girl just say she was exposed to fruit and that made her vape? Exposed. To. FRUIT.

The product design is absolutely fantastic, no question. Shame that all tobacco companies are essentially still merchants of death.

Juul became a patsy for the crimes of others. Their greatest crime was being low-hanging fruit for the virtue theater of politicians. Nicotine dependence can be problematic, just like alcohol, caffeine, THC and refined sugar. But destroying Juul causes nicotine dependency to be more dangerous with lower-quality products. This was about maximum PR benefit for minimum impact.

Here in Germany JUUL has been banned, and the market is now full of chinese-made disposable vapes that you throw away entirely, with all the plastic casing, electronics and batteries landing in the garbage. Juul pods were compact and simple and much cheaper than those vape pens, and because these pens are so convenient i see much more young people using them then i ever saw with the juul. Pure stupidity and another huge market transfered from western to chinese companies, great job

What’s funny is they attacked Juul so hard, but now there’s a million versions of Juul made by other companies that are x10 better and cheaper They don’t care about the kids, it’s the tobacco companies in charge.

I was in college when this whole situation took place. Overall, I find this sad because a lot of young people around me smoked cigarettes and so did I at the time. Vaping was seen as a nerdy thing and the nicotine juices in early vapes would tear apart your throat. Juul with their salt-based nicotine pod was a huge innovation. Vaping was no longer seen as a niche hobby, and it got very popular at my campus. Now with bad laws, manufacturers found a loophole where you can still have fruity flavored vapes as long as they are fully disposable. This is a huge environmental overlook as most teens did not stop vaping but just switch brands from Juul to Elfbars, etc and are now throwing away nicotine juice along with lithium batteries and this will be a huge problem for the environment. Now teens are consuming poorly manufactured disposable vapes that are manufactured in China instead of the USA and are most likely more toxic.

It's pretty impressive how fast the "everyone does it" turned into "eww you vape?" -- like literally a matter of 5ish years.

The downfall of Juul can be blamed entirely on the media for dragging their name through the mud. The entire premise of the medias arguments was that the flavors were made to target youth, which is ridiculous. Saying that is like saying that alcohol companies make flavored alcohol just to target youth. The fault was not the flavors or the company. It was the vape shops and gas station workers who decided to sell to children.

Hypocrisy. Ban e cigarette but sales of traditional cigarettes continue

"But since I was exposed to fruit, obviously, and mango and mint, that I just thought that it was okay" Lol, teenagers are such morons. That's why they need to be protected, unfortunately.

Juul is a fantastic product for adults who do not want to use real cigarettes. It is sad that just because this company followed the rules and made money they are the ones suffering the consequences. Go to any liquor store or gas station and their are 10 different brands selling "kids" flavors. Juul sells tobacco and menthol only now, not made for kids. When Juul entered the market everyone had flavored vapor cigarettes (I started with Vapage Vanilla long before Juul was around). This is nothing other than lawyers using kids to make a buck. The "victims" will get a few hundred dollars tops and the lawyers have made millions on both sides. I just got a class letter telling me that Juul owes me $748. Why? I am 46 and I knowingly bought an addictive product, I used the product and now they are going to give me my money back because kids got addicted? Why? How is that fair and how is it justice?

Hmmmm… It’s almost like Altria bought a majority share of the company to intentionally tank it, so that they could preserve their cigarette business.

I juuled until I couldn't find mint pods anymore. Tried menthol, just wasn't the same. Other brands still had mint, so thats what I bought. Very strange to me that only juul had flavors removed, had all flavored ecigs been banned I most likely would've quit then instead of years later.

I like how the girl said that she was exposed to fruit and mango, she thought she would try juul. In other words, I take no responsibility for my bad choices, lets blame someone else.

Cotton candy vodka? Amazing. Fruit-flavored vapes? Outrageous, we can't have that, think of the teens!

Now we have elfbars which are 100x worse and teens are still the ones using it good job U.S. FDA 💀

I didn’t use juul, but I vaped myself off of cigarettes with RDAs and box mods, and then slowly reduced my nicotine consumption to zero. I haven’t had nicotine in over a year, and zero cravings. I was able to quit nicotine altogether because of vaping.

God please bring Juul back, and all the flavors. If I had known they were gonna pull all their flavors I would’ve bought like 1,000$ worth of pods

The govt took out JUUL the ONLY american vape company and now china has filled the void with even more dangerous vape devices 🤦‍♂️

A company actually comes out with a product that helps people get off cigarettes, and theyre instantly targetted and nearly run outta town and business... that oughtta tell you all you need to know.

Altria killed juul to keep cigarettes alive

God I’d kill for a Creme brûlée pod

Seems like they are soloing out and targeting one company when there’s several involved. This is corporate bullying… then why are cigarettes still legal?

Banning e-cigarettes but not banning tobacco cigarettes. Noted.

Because you can’t control your kids, we all have to suffer. Cool.

always political bs, it's okay for teens to smoke cigarettes abuse drugs and drink alcohol even tho it causes a lot of fatalities, but it absolutely not alright to just vape what a hypocratic government

I have never smoked or vaped, and was never tempted to or interested in cigarettes. That said I had a roommate who used a juul when the ban of certain flavors came out, and I have to say, the only time I have at all been the least bit tempted to try it was hold my roommates juul. It felt very premium to hold and all the flavors did make it sound more enticing. I mean I never was actually going to try it, but holding a juul, I could understand why other people would.

Cigarette producers had a few good buddies in the government and they bought them a yacht and made a large campaign donation. They started producing e-cigarettes themselves and ate the market share juul had

went from standardized and safe American product, to single use unregulated garbage. Thanks government and courts!

What about flavored alcohol ? Nobody saying anything about that lol . PARENTS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR KIDS AND STOP BLAMING COMPANIES.

My Thoughts: This video isn't covering all the aspects of the Juul's case, what's the reason behind US Justice falling behind Juul etc etc. Its not the correct way of journalism!

Short answer : Tobacco Lobby Killed it !

China banned fruit flavors as well ! Many give up e-cigarettes and turn back to tobacco .Myself included 😂

Juul always tried to market itself as the new Apple product, and that's why the teens got interested in it. Cuz the cool kids were having one

Everyone sounds so old. In a few years we will look back at this with nostalgic disbelief. They replaced smoking cigarettes with vapor and people lost it. ?

I think shutting down the big ones that still answer to someone, leaves the market open for the small ones, who put god knows what into their products.

the people saying this was unjustified probably have no idea how bad vaping got (and still is) among teens. when i was a kid not many people smoked but right now practically every high school kid vapes

Doesn't matter, the founders and shareholders already exited for $12.8B.

Wonder how dumb they feel knowing the kids are just gonna pick up normal Juuls now. No matter what your little studies say.

Juuling will always be so nostalgic.

Funny how AG's for NY & CA are more worried about safety concerns from Juul yet don't care for public safety with all the high crime rates in their own actual states smh 🤦‍♂

In my country, you can't even show a cigarette in television, how the hack they shown vaping activities in the ads. That's just a big no-no!

What went wrong? Their insane price! You get half the amount of juice for double the price of other vapes

I realized halfway through the video that this whole situation is just like “silicone valley” series in a way

McDonald’s can directly advertise and sell their diabetes sandwiches to children but flavoured vapes meant only for adults 🙈

Juul is what napster was in the 2000’s. Napster was a crime but set the way for streaming today such as spotify and apple music, same thing with juul. They paved the way for others… you don’t see these new guys getting shut down? Someone has to fall for others to run

Con a whole new generation on teens. Disgusting

Why would they put regulations and policies to control gun ownerships like what they did with JUU????

WSJ: vaping is bad Also WSJ: here is a 10 minute ad for Juul

I remember when Altria was working on developing their own e-cig. I did one of their product testing for their e cig when I was in college. They really needed to buy Juul because whatever they were testing instead was horrible

founders got rich which was the main goal

This is a great news

if they brought back mint and cucumber I would've kept them in business lol instead I quit

cigs and alcohol, and smokeless tobacco, and nicotine pouches, and cannabis are ALL equally accessible to people under the age of 21, I don't understand the logic of this

No tears shed on this one. Hope it’s over soon

A 14 year old saying the fruit flavored pods convinced her away from herself and took over all personal agency in her! Like no, take responsibility for your actions.

This was expected since its inception...waiting for Juul to become like WEWork

As a legit smoker who uses Juul products when I can't get a real smoke in, I am actively trying to find a different brand that's acceptable in flavor. I hate that they blatantly advertised to kids and feel like a pawn in their scheme to hook the new generation. Now their prices are up to cover their losses. I've tried vuse and found the device delivers nicely, but i'm on the fence with the flavor.

What if the invesment by a big tobacco company was a move to rule out one of their biggest competitor? It was really expensive but surely they could afford it

I love vaping but it is definitely becoming a super problem, especially with young children. Kids constantly being caught and 4th and 5th grade vaping. Literally on a daily basis at my child's school. They banned flavored cigarettes a long time ago because they said it was a problem. But now we have millions of different flavors for a smoke device that is nearly in detectable? This is worse than any cigarette problem with kids. At least you could smell those

why didnt they say anything about juul's selling the company to the big tabacco companies?

Pax did have big foothold in Tabaco vapes and weed vapes, but then it got stagnant and there are so many vapes now, and even stiiizy is doing what they started better. Not to mention, the whole regulations thing killed Pax's app, making you have to connect via browser

Imagine people telling you that it’s the flavor of ice cream that makes you fat…

I had NO IDEA PAX made JUUL. Now they make pods + vapes for legal states.

The government ban on them is what happened

I thought it was that anti vaping commercial that did it. I thought e cigs were a good alt to real cigs until that commercial. I’ve tried neither so I wasn’t the audience.

e cigarettes should be illegal everywhere.

Woke whiny babies made us lose Mango Jule. R.i.p....

now we got flum, elf bar, etc

Juul is not a solution to quitting smoking; it’s an alternative to smoking.

Because no one should be allowed to sell a product that is dangerous for your health! oh, wait...

Video left me feeling as if there should be another 5-7 minutes to conclude the story. T)

yall hate juuls but the ones left now are unregulated and are horrible for young people

Funny how it’s juuls responsibility to protect the kids instead of the literal parents of the children. Totally backwards.

The culprit behind all this from tobacco company

It's funny how not one of these kids can take responsibility and say "Yes, I tried nicotine and I'm addicted, it's my fault" instead of "they tricked me, they put mango sauce on it, it's their fault I'm addicted" bc it's not true. Ruin it for everyone else.

*child* “I thought it was ok” no you just have no one who really cares enough about you to tell you by that age that inhaling smoke of any kind is not a great idea but go ahead play naive and young card

how? there is more profit than $38 billion by selling classic cigarette that are tobacco or something like that rolled in paper which you have to light with a match

juul got screwed period helped me quit smoking

I miss juul

Yet cigarettes are still untouched.....

So its Juul's fault that parents can't control there kids substance abuse of nicotine... The FDA approved oxycontin for ages as young as 12yrs old.

The problem with vaping in the USA is the fact that the eliquid isn't regulated like it is in the UK. This leads to ingredients that are harmful to the health of any person who buys vapes in the USA.

Nicotine is not okay at all. Banning just Juul isn’t going to do much, you’d have to ban all e-cigarettes containing nicotine and tobacco. Teenagers are idiots.

I have a big stash of the all the flavoured juul pods that i can survive on for the next 25 years. Being just 25 i almost put all of my life savings into it

😑Juul was cheated. They paid for other people's lies😢

The things I would do for a mango juulpod though 😂

And chinese made disposables are ok to sell ? Dafuck

The government didn’t stop Juul, Big Tobacco did. There were about to lose political cash flow from big tobacco so they stopped it.

I used Elfbars to quit smoking cigarettes, and sought them out for that purpose. Vapes can have advantages...

They let big tobacco buy in. … that was the beginning of the end

The government benefits from cigarette taxes and that is all you need to know.

Is there any doubt as to whether the future of vaping is a steam (water vapor) which has equal NaCl concentration and pH as the lungs, and that this may cause vaping to lose all of it's negative health effects, but that I haven't prevented you from starting this as a business because the wording of my comment prevents me from being able to claim that the idea is mine and that you need to pay me in order to use it?

ok so...what about all the other vapes on the market? what is the federal government going to do about that?

I’d buy juul again if they brought back my mango!!!! Myself and everyone I know, we all use BREEZE disposables vapes which have 3,000 hits

honey you didn't start vaping because it was flavored

Not gonna lie, the Juul got me to stop smoking cigarettes, but man oh man has it put me on a nicotine ride ever since

mangos got vitamin c, right? that's good for me. i'm a victim.

Prohibition doesn't work

The other hand juul product what's not that good plus the device was very expensive juul device was $35 the other companies give the device free
