These are illegal Chinese imports which directly compete with Big Tobacco's established brands (Blu, NJOY, etc.) Only Juul out of these has American Tobacco industry ties with 35% owned by Altria aka Philip Morris. I wish they had tested Blu and NJOY.
Anyway, Big Tobacco would benefit if customs and ATF ramped up enforcement against these Chinese imports.
