No way. It's not the e-cigs - those are vastly more helpful than harmful overall. It's Juul specifically - they're the bad player in the game. Not the only one, but the biggest of the handful - most e-cig companies just want to sell within the rules. No need to cut off the nose to spite the face. That would be detrimental.

And the numbers are far better than this which means it's a public health benefit.

And banning vaping has increased good old fashioned cigs in teens. Teens are going to smoke or vape. Pick your poison.

However, Juul has specifically targeted teens with targeted ads, influencers and 'education' on underage teens - purposefully [see FDA link].

In addition, Juul heavily promoted 'salted' nicotine, where many ecig enthusiasts or those who quit only use 3 mg to 6mg nicotine levels in their ejuice, Juuls salted nicotine push can get up to 60mg.
