Unsurprisingly, this is out of touch. Juul has been dead among teenagers for years, basically immediately after the FDA banned flavors. Its now been replaced by, as far as I can tell, completely unregulated disposable e-cigarettes which have been growing in price, size, and strength. Ask your interns when the last time they saw a Juul at their college was.

Also why don't FDA just pull cigarettes off the market if they can do something like this?
Because the FDA wants the public to support big tobacco. I realize this sounds sarcastic, but how could anyone possibly refute?
Juul is 35% owned by Altria aka Philip Morris.
That’s just basic diversification. Tobacco is still king for them.
