Juul

Juul is an electronic cigarette company that was founded by Adam Bowen and James Monsees in 2015. The company is a subsidiary of Altria and is based in San Francisco, California. Juul's products are intended for adult smokers who want to switch from combustible cigarettes.

History

Juul was spun off from Pax Labs, a company known for making vaporizers, in 2017. The company's name is a play on the word "jewel". Juul's e-cigarettes have been praised for their sleek design and ease of use, but they have also been criticized for their high nicotine content and their popularity among teenagers.

Products

Juul's main product is the Juul device, which is a type of e-cigarette. The device is a small, sleek device that resembles a USB flash drive. It uses disposable pods that contain a proprietary blend of nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine, and flavorings. Each pod is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes in terms of nicotine content.

Controversies

Juul has faced numerous controversies and legal challenges. The company has been accused of marketing its products to teenagers, leading to a surge in youth vaping. In 2019, the company agreed to stop advertising its products in the United States. Juul has also faced lawsuits from users who claim they became addicted to nicotine through the use of Juul products.
