The popularity among teens with Juul will soon stop, the company has decided to stop selling flavored e-cigarettes pods in retail stores and discontinue promoting on social media.
The purpose of the company was to help sell devices that would allow for smokers to quit but instead another health problem fell upon on them. The trend of a nicotine addiction among nonsmoking teens, teens became the main consumers for Juul.
Juul has decided to only sell mint, tobacco and menthol flavors for it’s devices in retail stores. And to have teens stop buying the devices, there will be requirements for age verification of online sales of e-cigarettes.

It’s just the “pods” that are being pulled. I’m assuming this has something to do with recent criticism that the funky flavors are too attractive to young people, hooking them early.
What did you think of the long lead? A long story, considering its simplicity.
