Lots of attention on the "Vaping Crisis" this week. 

Interesting perspective from overseas:

Why isn’t Juul said to be having the same effect on children in the UK?

It is not the same product. The absence of regulation in the US means there is no cap on nicotine levels in e-cigarette liquids, making stronger doses more addictive. The UK has a strict limit, thanks to an EU directive now enshrined in British law.

Statement by NCIA on the issue:

Is this a storm passing through or a fundamental shift for the industry?
