Then Juul should be put next to the nicotine patches and gum in the pharmacy, and be marketed as a medication. The FDA heavily regulates substances that can be abused when not used as medication (things like meth ingredients).

Frankly, letting a company aggressively market a highly addictive compound to an impressionable segment of society because of a single-use excuse ("it can be used as medication!") is a bit disappointing. It also reads as astroturfing because it's such a limp talking point.
