When did you first turn your attention to nicotine vapes and why?
7:17
Nicotine vapes in particular, probably I probably most got interested in from an academic point of view really when Juul got raided.
7:25
So going into 2018, 2019 when that whole saga started under then Commissioner Gottlieb.
7:31
What interested me, not necessarily from a vaping standpoint, I don't smoke, I don't vape, I never have.
7:36
What got me interested in that was this was a process that came about really in 2018.
7:42
It starts getting really heavy in 2019.
7:45
And then within about a four-month period, right, Juul, who is the biggest vaping company in the world at that time, gets raided.
