I have similar articles to you, which I find funny. I think it’s really funny that you included an article for the Juul mango ban. But identifying the vape shop owners as the people with the issue I think is incorrect. The real problem is the stakeholders of Juul. At the end of the day, these vape shops are selling alternative fruit flavors that aren’t produced by Juul, but by third party manufacturers.
ReplyDeleteHey Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your post and your selection of articles. I found most of them relatable and interesting as they all pertained to college students. I really liked the article about the mango Juul pod ban and the one about the blue light protest because they are both problems that affect most of us in the college community in one way or the other, either directly or indirectly.
Interesting to see how nearly ever example here is a legal issue. Many people don't pay attention to these small legal moves, but the trickle down can be very massive. And can also create entirely new problems almost overnight that have to possibility to be exploited.
