    Juul is a startup, not a subsidiary of a big tobacco company, right? If so that tracks.

      Wait I can't tell if you're joking but it's literally owned by Philip Morris.

        Nevermind then, I don't know why they'd be favoring one tobacco company over another then. The others must have spent more on lobbying and campaign donations.

          I imagine the intent is a PR-win, since so many middle school kids were smoking juuls back in the day.

          Hard to explain fully though. Either way I have the worst juul addiction of anyone I know so my only plan now is to get thanos snapped out of existence. Tho maybe that's better than dying of a heart attack at 25.

            It took me a few tries, but I finally managed to quit a couple of months ago. The chest pains were a big motivator, they're completely gone now.

            Just stop now before you find something else to replace it.
