31. No-I think they are about extremists...

If you follow stories about, say surfers, you will read mostly about people riding monster waves and how dangerous that is. In cars it is about 300 mph dragsters and what happens when things go wrong. But in the real world millions of surfers ride normal waves and millions of racers modify their cars and race without crashing or being killed. People injured by vapes for the most part either buy unknown shit on the street or use "modified" vapes that have the safeties removed. Any vape device without safeties says so on the sales site. Most e-cigs and vape machines have a 10 second safety to prevent overheating and battery explosion. To buy one without safeties? Yep-they will tell you they have been disabled.

Juul may attract youth and a pox on them for it-I assure you no mature user buys them. But so long as you let the industry be smeared you will denigrate a valid method of reducing the damage done to the nicotine addicted.
