WASHINGTON, July 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Congressional hearings about JUUL's role in the youth e-cigarette epidemic proved, with the company's own testimony and documents, that JUUL has become Big Tobacco 2.0. Committee members shared multiple exhibits that exposed how JUUL's strategies and actions are straight from the tobacco industry's playbook. The startling evidence presented during the questioning of JUUL Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, James Monsees, and Chief Administrative Officer Ashley Gould, indicates that:
Despite JUUL repeatedly claiming that it is not Big Tobacco, the company's actions and testimony tell a very different story. Through repeated misrepresentations, misremembrances and obfuscation, JUUL showed itself to have studied the tone and tactics of the industry they claim to be trying to disrupt and to be taking them to a new level in what we can only characterize as Big Tobacco 2.0. The testimonies provided an abundance of new information and facts that we will share with young people through our truth® campaign to reveal how JUUL is targeting and recruiting a new generation and putting their future health at risk for profit.
