Big Vape: The Incendiary Rise of Juul Free Audiobook Download by Jamie Ducharme

For the uninitiated, vaping is considered to be a relatively harmless alternative to cigarettes. Experts say it's about 95% safer than smoking. But that 5% leaves a lot of room for doubt. Even though e-cigs don't emit many of the chemicals that tobacco smoke does, they're still dangerous in their own way—and one of them is teen-targeting Juul, which is quickly becoming the most popular brand on the market.

In 2015, a newcomer to the e-cigarette market appeared on the scene. In what was seen as a market opportunity big enough to take on the big players in traditional cigarettes, Juul came into existence and captured the attention of consumers with their high-tech vape pen. Juul has taken over our streets, our offices, and even our classrooms.

To say the e-cigarette industry is booming would be an understatement. The explosive growth in sales - particularly of Juul products - have led to a wave of lawsuits, worker's rights violations, and bans from schools and universities. The latest development in this war between Big Tobacco, regulators, and the retailers that sell their products is a new report by Marcia Angell. In her article "Big Vape: The Incendiary Rise of Juul," Angell reveals about how the FDA responded to Big Tobacco's plan to aggressively market electronic cigarettes just last year to get more people hooked on nicotine.

The Incendiary Rise of Juul is the definitive account of how one man changed the face of vaping in a matter of six short years. Our story begins in 2006, when a young Stanford grad student named Adam Bowen was handed a business card for an e-cigarette company by his friend and mentor, Stanton Glantz.

The first popular vaping product was the e-cigarette. With a steady stream of innovation, many other products and flavors have been introduced with different functionalities, such as the Juul. Juul is a portable and sleek device that's handheld and allows users to vape marijuana or tobacco with flavors like mango, creme brulee, or cool mint. Unlike some of the other products that have been introduced into the market, this one has gained quite a bit of attention due to its sleek design and various flavors.
