What we think about it:
sarduchi - ""There's no way those dumb kids will circumvent this!" - sarcastic kid"
codece - "The technology includes “. . . real-time product information and usage insights for age-verified consumers""
CaptStrangeling - "My first thought was how much more e waste this adds to the already stacked pile. These are getting into lakes, rivers, parking lots, etc, and already have batteries leaking but now it’ll have Bluetooth and age verification in the parking lot being run over."
codece - "They are working with law enforcement to add GPS as well. That way when one is discarded carelessly, Juul alerts its new enforcement agency, Fuul, who immediately share data with local police and issue a littering ticket, with Fuul getting 15% of the collected fine and local LE getting the rest."
Manofalltrade - "Getting rid of single use disposable e-cigs would definitely help. Big Clive on ut did a video on the battery’s they use. They are lithium and rechargeable but go in the trash, bushes, or toilets."
Available_Ad6136 - "There was just a photo that a plumber took while fixing clogged pipes at a highschool."
loztriforce - "So a vape that spies on people, how stupid"
curi0uslystr0ng - "I vape and this is the last thing I want. Will not buy any vape that spies in me. No web connected vapes please. It seems like Juul is spending a lot of money on an idea that will fail."
Cetun - "They are spending a lot of money because they know they are eventually going to hit with a tobacco level lawsuit one day and they need as much as possible to say they tried absolutely everything to keep these out of the hands of kids. We will see how well it works but I'm guessing they are counting on the reaction you have. They don't want this shit, they want to make the argument that they tried and it was unpopular with consumers who went to cheaper Chinese brands that make no effort to age verify, therefore their own efforts to age verify are useless and should not be seen as evidence that they intentionally marketed their product to children."
coffeebeards - "“Are you over the age of 18 please select Yes or No”"
oHolidayo - "That’s what people want... An app to track their smoking habits. Bet the app is free too."
Yasai101 - "Juuls new vape pen that has a hard time selling. hmmm"
Manofalltrade - "The fact that Juul and certain flavored products got banned and the kids and industry just kept switching to puff, elf, etc bars shows how well this will work without properly written laws."
l0u1s11 - "new high-tech vape..."
Ninjamuh - "12 year old me clicks no, gets send back to google.com. Tries again and clicks yes. I‘m in!"
CarltonSagot - "HACKERMAN"
Cthulhu2016 - "I still see these in stores, major chain gas stations. What am I missing here? I don't understand how they are "banned" and yet ubiquitous at the same time"
jjj49er - "I was wondering the same thing. Most of my employees vape. I didn't realize it was illegal."
skindarklikemytint - "they banned certain flavors as far as I understand. RIP to mango"
