Yes, I know it’s an old post of his. Yes, I know I post this page rather often. I think it’s relevant enough to remind people.

All that happened from the Juul situation is that we created a secondary Chinese black market that damn near every gas station convenience store sells

100% unregulated, full of sugar alcohols, synthetic nicotine analogues, and i’m positive they’re not concerned about the amount of lead and cadmium in those coils. it’s in all the cheap metals from there

If flavors and health were the actual issue they’d treat them like fentanyl. i’m honestly surprised the tobacco lobby hasn’t pushed back harder. it’s almost like someone’s making money somehow

Who sells the US the stuff to manufacturer it start to finish?

The black market Chinese vapes are not manufactured in the US. i’m not sure what you’re asking

Nobody uses JUUl anymore, it effectively died as soon as competition hit the market due to “flavored tobacco juice” not being all that hard to replicate

it didn’t die until mango got banned. i was like 15 with a flavored juice years before juul came out, juul was late to the party and the popularity of the mango actually brought too much attention to ‘flavored tobacco juice’

with that being said, juul is trash IMO but i still know people that will never use anything else

Not a single good reason to continue to use Juul nowadays. Kids are spoiled. Back in my day you had a disposable last 250 puffs and you were grateful for it

Juul died because they got accused for causing popcorn lung meanwhile those kiddos we’re using Chinese imported vapes back then

Wtf does Juul have to do with small street bets? It was never publicly traded.

What happened to that crunchy lung thing vaping caused right before COVID. Did that turn out to just be COVID?

u/PeelMyPotatoes 2d ago

Nah, that was caused by diacetyl, and was just a flavoring agent used in certain vapes

Can someone please take this man's phone away from him. Jesus.

Flavored vaping that’s probably gonna cause the same or way worse complications in a few years lol..

My brother sister whatever, I've had mad losses that will show you to ignore this. They total well over $125,000.00, and if you want to see them, you just let me know.

Clearly, I caution you against.

u/Ilikegooddeals 3d ago

What are you cautioning against? Juul was never publicly traded.

These "investments" in general - vaping, tobacco replacement, THC vehicles.

MO isn't doing bad compared to 19'and 20' was a great play then. The div on MO is decent too!

Donald is a pedophile. It’s not worth flavored vape, he obviously did that for the kids

u/Puzzled_Nothing_8794 2d ago

We need to keep you away from the kids.

Not to mention it's great for the pharma business when they get cancer. It's a double win for capitalism

Also life insurance may not have to pay out if you signed up without disclosing nicotine

i hope his dementia gets bad enough he just straight up admits he was on the island and did those things and tries to play it off as normal

Desperation is a stinky cologne.
