     FDA already asked JUUL Lab not to sale their product in gas stations and retail shop and to remove their content from social media to prevent teenagers from flavored vaping. But LUUL has become the giant in e cigs market they are holding around 72% market share. They actually don’t need to sale their product in social media marketplace.


      But personally I believe e cigarette should be open to the existing tobacco market considering the health hazarded traditional tobacco product. Many reliable sources of experts are saying e cigs are 95% safer than traditional tobacco combustion method.


    If we really need to keep teenagers away from vaping as well as traditional smoking, we need to start this from family. In family elder persons can discuss about badness of smoking or early vaping. School also may take some role in this criteria. But if we look to the websites of Electric cigarette brands they have a disclaimer on their page and asking visitors are they 21 years + or not. So they keeping their responsibility right. We need to take some responsibility among tins issue.
