JUUL

oh my gosh, I just saw an advertise on network T.V. for using a JUUL I'm depressed and cannot believe that this is something that can be advertised like this.  My concern is where else is this being advertised.

I cannot believe they are doing that.  But - it's not like there aren't enough STORES that folks can easily SEE!  There must be five in my little village.

I cannot BELIEVE they are allowed to do that - but, then again, they aren't tobacco - so they probably will require separate legislation to ban.....

Crap!

They're working on it.

FDA restricts e-cigarette sales to curb teen vaping 

The good thing is that there is being a much quicker response to it's dangers than we had with tobacco.

I find it hard to believe too.  Just sad that they can advertise something that is clearly addictive.

I have not seen any ads...our local paper carried a two part series on the number of high school kids using this and also substituting THC (marijuana) for the nicotine.  The article said the school is trying to educate teachers and parents to recognize the very subtle smells.  One kid's car was searched in the parking lot because his JUUL AND his marijuana pods were in plain sight in the front seat. Enough young people who are now OLD people like ME have been damaged by this addiction, somehow, there has to be a way to stop them.  Makes me sick...oh wait, I already AM sick.

It looks like a thumb drive for a computer but you can put nicotine liquid into it...I guess.  I have only seen ones in our local paper, I have NOT seen them in stores.
