How can you say it was a useful smoking cessation device when it hasn't stopped you smoking?
> This Juul hysteria
Juul targeted non-smoking children and --as you have experienced for yourself-- gave them an addiction for nicotine which they'll try to maintain with Juul or cigarettes.

Sorry, packs of Juul cartridges. "Packs" being a holdover term from my smoking days. I haven't smoked a cigarette in a year.

When I weigh the pros and cons, I get a net negative: jump in cigarette smoking rates. Youth continues to get addicted to nicotine as they have for centuries, but this time, the delivery mechanism something that is a known killer: cigarettes.

I specifically switched to juul from cigs because I knew of nicotine salts vs the type used in most vapes. Its a huge deal and has probably saved my life.
I've quit smoking for a year now, but under pressure, Juul has stopped making my preferred flavor; the flavor that actually got me to quit smoking. I've tried other flavors and other devices but they don't give me the same satisfaction. I'm afraid I'm going to go back to smoking when my remaining 3 packs of cartridges run out in a week or so.
This Juul hysteria is almost certainly going to raise smoking rates in the population. The UK government still stands on its claim that vaping is 95% healthier than smoking.
