Juul is not owned by a tobacco company. A tobacco company bought a 35% stake in the company last December, but you'll notice that 35% is far less than 100%.
Precisely. That tobacco company (Altria) invested in Juul instead of making their own vapes because they see the writing on the wall: more and more people prefer to vape instead of smoke and the tobacco companies are losing money. As it should be.
I think the real reason is they're terrified of losing the tax revenue from tobacco sales.

DING DING DING! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Do use nic salts for your vape juice?
All the articles also mention THC vapes. That's an entirely different beast than nicotine juice. THC vapes are actual oil and are extracted from cannabis with various solvents. A process and resultant substance entirely different than nicotine, of/vg and some flavoring.
So you're saying that technically some adults like some of the stuff that's traditionally aimed at children, therefore the intention isn't to market to children?
No, we are saying that fruit and candy flavors and bright colors do no EXCLUSIVELY market to children. I personally prefer the fruit and candy flavor vape juices and I hate the "tobacco" and "mint" flavors. I'm pissed I can't buy Mango, Creme Brulee or Fruit Punch flavored Juul pods in my local stores anymore because of all the faux "tHiNk oF tHe ChIlDrEn!" outrage about flavors. I can't believe anyone would believe, much less even imply or insinuate that only children enjoy fruit and candy flavored things. As has been said before in other posts here... Flavored Alcohol anyone? I even like fruity alcohol drinks too and hate the taste of beer or whiskey.
people are destroying their lungs, even faster than smoking

I hope they get them banned from sale or use.
... why do I even ask.
And a brand "Mom it is just a USB stick" isn't targeted at kids either.
You've got to be trolling. I bought a Juul specifically because I can use it discreetly and carry it around in my pocket and pull it out whenever without anyone noticing. As if stealth vaping is only for kids in high school. Jeez.
