Juul agrees to $40 million settlement in North Carolina teen marketing lawsuit

All the categories you mention have significant government restrictions on them, age or screening limitations but they are not prescription. Why I go so far is look at the facts: If you reviewed the CNBC video, Juul targeted Nickelodeon, fashion models, social media influencers, homework apps for middle schoolers. Because they 'targeted' youth, they should have severe restrictions, prescription under 18 or 21.

I completely understand your point, why add the burden to the medical system and correct the marketing. Unfortunately, Juul and other vape products are similar to the opioid situation. The technology was viewed as an alternative to smoking w/o the 'toxic' components. The reality is both are a toxic delivery method and youth get hooked after just a few uses, especially with the flavors offered. Now 20% of the population is hooked and will be creating demand for years.
These products never went through FDA approval, they should have never been sold to the public. Any other dangerous consumer product, especially a drug delivery system would require FDA approval. This article is a little old but it lays out a good overview of Juul and Vape products. https://www.drugwatch.com/e-cigarettes/juul-ban/
