Vaporizers are customizable, don't rely on cartridges, and e-liquid can purchased (or made at home) with no nicotine at all.I saw a stat that JUUL accounts for 75% of all e-cig sales in the US. My two HS daughters know how bad it is in their school, most kids in their HS that vape use a JUUL product. I think it will be a matter of time before tobacco companies own nearly 100% of the e-cig/vap market. They have the money and why would they care if they sell cigarettes or e-cig type products? They are about making money not about a particular way to do that.
The tobacco industry is unable to manipulate/control consumers' nicotine consumption as they do with traditional tobacco products and e-cigs.
See above.
They can't corner the custom vaporizer market and guarantee long-term, repeat consumption if folks are to control their own nicotine intake (or eschew nicotine together) and are able to buy customized vape liquid from Mom and Pop vendors or make it themselves.
One can buy and use a liquid vaporizer for years and never put a dime in Big Tobacco's pockets and never, ever become addicted to nicotine.
That's not good news for the future of Big Tobacco.
