Good article, but I have to take issue with the contention that,

"The interest in nicotine, though, is at an all-time high".

Sheesh! The author is almost certainly a millennial who doesn't remember when roughly half of all American smoked, and most of them started in their teens.

That and the notion you can actually prevent teens from vaping. The measures they outline are ineffective when it comes to alcohol and won't with Juul/vaping either

"And if the FDA wanted to do something about it, they would have to:

  • ban all brick and mortar stores from selling any flavor of Juul pods — mint and tobacco included
  • increase the minimum age to buy products at vape shops (the current minimum age is 21 in most jurisdictions)
  • put a hard limit on the amount of nicotine that can be present in a single pod
But it doesn’t seem like any of these radical measures are on the horizon."

Hogwash
