In case you have not heard, a type of e-cigarette called Juul has grown in popularity as an alternative to regular cigarettes and vaping. According to the company's website, "JUUL is an easy to use vaporizer designed for adult smokers looking for a genuine alternative to smoking cigarettes...The JUUL device is rechargeable via our magnetic USB charger and takes roughly one hour to charge fully." Despite the fact that the company itself has received continued backlash and lawsuits for possibly marketing directly to teens and undermining health risks associated with the product, the startup has gained popularity among teens and young adults.
Currently, Juul represents nearly 71% of the e-cig market and the company Juul Labs is valued at $15 billion. In my opinion, although I respect the wishes of the company to attempt to bring a cleaner e-cigarette to the public and respect the decision of those who buy their product (if they are +21 years old), I personally would not want to spend money on these e-cigs. Because of this, here is a list of things I would rather spend my money on than a Juul.
