JUUL Ban Looms, Users Fear End of Product

Jun.24.2022
JUUL users express concern over impending ban on company's e-cigarettes, calling it a betrayal and worrying for the future of similar products.

As the ban on JUUL products looms, users of JUUL electronic cigarettes like Joshua Miller are increasingly feeling anxious.

 

Joshua Miller, a devoted user of JUU electronic cigarettes, said:

 

It doesn't make sense to continue targeting JUUL as they are no longer as popular.

 

I believe that JUUL is primarily a smoking cessation tool.

 

This really only helps with the psychological aspect of smoking. As an adult, being banned from smoking is quite strange.

 

The FDA is set to ban the JUUL brand of e-cigarettes soon, as the company is being accused by the government of marketing its products to children. Businesses in Denver, such as Broadway Smokes, which sell these products, claim that this move will harm their operations. These shops have been selling JUUL products for years. Meanwhile, many such businesses, including Broadway Smokes, are still struggling to recover from the impact of the pandemic.

 

Jacob Herndon, the manager of a smoke shop on Broadway, stated that selling JUUL products accounts for 50% of their daily revenue. He expressed feeling betrayed by the recent negative media attention towards JUUL and its impact on young people. Herndon believes that while larger companies claim to care about young people, they often overlook the negative effects their products have on small businesses.

 

Many in the US electronic cigarette industry feel that this is not a decision that the government should be making for them. People like Miller are not only concerned about the future of Juul products, but also about the future of many other products.

 

Miller stated, "There are questions about what will happen next." "I believe I should not tolerate it.

 

Anti-smoking advocates said that the ban will last for a long time. If the ban does become official, advocates hope that it can serve as an example for other e-cigarette companies.
