And another large (and growing) swath of users are never going to pick up any nicotine product because they never got enticed by Juul's advertising to kids. A net win for society and should have happened years ago.

Everything good in this world is ruined by your “think of the children” attitude. I don’t have kids, will never have kids. I don’t care about your hellspawn.

Seriously, go away. Keep your authoritarianism to yourself. Your nosy, unwanted, Karenesque attitude can leave us child free people in peace.

I’m an adult, I consume nicotine. It’s my right (and I will continue).

Good for you? What's the point?

Please feel free to consume nicotine in a way that doesn't create clouds of vape exhalations. It's not as bad as second hand smoke but it's unpleasant.

> I’m an adult

Good. Then you shouldn't care about a company being shut down for advertising drugs to children.

“I don’t like it so y’all have to bend to my will.” “Protecting my hellspawn is more important than your rights and freedoms.”

Your last point would be fine if, as adult, the market didn’t deny me access to a product that is illegal for children to consume anyway.

Right and current users can go back to cigarettes? The regular tobacco market is virtually unregulated. That makes sense?

There are fewer of them, they can switch to a flavorless competitor where they refill the cartridges and ween off the juice or not.

The current tobacco market predates regulations. Let's strangle e-cigarettes before they become too big to overcome.

How dare us adults enjoy flavors. How about you stop telling me, and other adults how to lead our lives?

I don't know much about flavorless competitors, but juice, self-refillable cartridges seems like they have a greater potential of abuse/danger.
