> To verify a user’s age, the proposed vape pairs with a phone app, requiring a customer to either upload their government ID and a real-time selfie or input personal information and allow a third-party database to verify their identity
OK, but why would any customer be willing to do this? Wouldn't they just go with a different brand instead?
Yes, I get that. What I don't get is what basis they have for thinking this will work. Why would any customers be willing to go to all that hassle to use their products?
There might not be any competitors to switch to. Juul is the biggest target, the one most capable of defending itself with research and technology. If the FDA bans Juul's products, then the entire vape market will vanish.
