F.D.A. Seizes Documents From Juul Headquarters
The Food and Drug Administration conducted a surprise inspection of the headquarters of the e-cigarette maker Juul Labs last Friday, carting away more than a thousand documents it said were related to the company's sales and marketing practices.
The move, announced on Tuesday, was seen as an attempt to ratchet up pressure on the company, which controls 72 percent of the e-cigarette market in the United States and whose products have become popular in high schools. The F.D.A. said it was particularly interested in whether Juul deliberately targeted minors as consumers.
"The new and highly disturbing data we have on youth use demonstrates plainly that e-cigarettes are creating an epidemic of regular nicotine use among teens," the F.D.A. said in a statement. "It is vital that we take action to understand and address the particular appeal of, and ease of access to, these products among kids."

I have come to regard my own caffeine addiction is incredibly harmful.
A while back I kicked coffee cold turkey then was completely overcome with nausea and powerful headaches for a solid month, at which time I went to my monthly witch doctor appointment. Said witch doctor advised me to start drinking coffee again.
For a while now I've been planning to cold-turkey again, but have never felt that I've been in a position to be completely useless for a whole month, so I've continued drinking it.
If I don't drink coffee I cannot function until I do drink it. Yet if I drink coffee whenever I feel like something hot, black and bitter, by the end of the day that coffee tastes foul to me and my stomache hurts.

Tyrone's fat Black clove-flavored Juul cigar may be kinder on your colon than your other "hot, black, and bitter" alternative.

MDC, you're being dumb. There is more than one approach. Lessen your caffeine intake by a minimal amount every few days and you won't even get irritable. Slowly dilute your coffee with an increasing amount of water or decaf and you'll have kicked your addiction within a month or three with no symptoms.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
