Let me preface by saying that I'm not a fan of the evolution of e-cigs since they ended up being more of an entry point than a transition out of nicotine. Probably half of my friends started by vaping and moved to cigarettes.
That said, tons of other vapes are allowed on the market, so why should Juul specifically be banned?
Targeting kids and teens with addictive substances (actually targeting anyone with addictive substances) is normalized evil. Also, addictive experiences (shorts...). Normally I lean libertarian but there has to be some allowance/mechanism for defending people from predatory corporations. Vaping was absolutely a huge problem in schools; legally "intentional" or not it was somehow getting picked up by kids.
Watch the documentary on Netflix, it is wild to see people start with noble intentions and then little by little, money absolutely corrupts everyone at Juul. Sick, sad and they make up so many excuses to try and project that they have some moral character. They aren't really trying to convince us of that, they are trying to convince themselves of it.

On the rare occasions of exposure by a user exhaling in public next to me I found it worse than passively inhaling cigarette smoke.

Tobacco products are insanely harmful.
Alcohol kills hundreds of thousands a year in the US.
But heaven forbid you flavor your nicotine.
What is the actual criteria for FDA approval?
One kid has asthma and uses an albuterol inhaler. The inhaler requires a doctor's prescription and is expensive.
The other kid vapes e-cigarettes. Vaping solution is cheaper and readily available.
Perhaps albuterol is a dangerous, addictive substance?????
