Juul Looking to Halt E-Cigarette Sales
to Underage Users.
A new selling plan by the company has
been announced by CEO Kevin Burns.
It follows news that around 20 percent of
U.S. teenagers say they have
recently tried "vaping.".
Burns explains that the plan involves
stopping sales to anyone with
an underage or expired ID.
Over 40,000 establishments have
agreed to Juul's new selling system.
Burns adds that by 2021, Juul will
stop offering its items to stores who
do not implement the plan.
In a new interview with 'CBS This Morning,' Burns denies that Juul ever targeted
people that were underage. .
I don't think our campaign was ever targeted to kids. We don't need to target youth to grow our business, to be successful, and fulfill our mission, Kevin Burns, via 'CBS This Morning'
.
He adds that vaping use by minors will
not drop immediately despite
the company's new rules.
There's been an influx now of counterfeit and compatible products coming into the marketplace. Online is still a challenge
as a channel, Kevin Burns, via
