Time: Juul Commits $100 Million to New System to Help Retailers Block Sales to Minors
Facing increasing scrutiny for its role in the teen vaping epidemic, e-cigarette maker Juul on Thursday announced a system meant to stop all retail sales of its products to anyone underage.
There have been a lot of negative stories involving vaping lately and now we are starting to see some of the changes that will be made as a result.
The FDA says teen vaping is an epidemic. JUUL CEO acknowledges his product is a big part of the problem. Roughly 1 in 5 high school students, & nearly 1 in 20 middle school students said they vaped last year.
