When I first saw this logo it was in a random post on Facebook and I was convinced it was just another blatantly fake fan creation because of how horrible it is. I was certainly in for a very sexy surprise when I found out that it was the real logo
The designer in me is like wtf this is very ugly But the millenial in me is like Loki god of mischief and eternal troll and shithead memer would absolutely love the fact that this logo is driving people BATSHIT
It’s almost like CEOs and cooperations have an agenda making youths have addictions
That’s a pretty wild accusation. I can guarantee you that getting kids addicted is the last thing that the company behind Juul actually wanted.
You weren’t supposed to deepthroat the boot but ok
The thing that kills is the people in the tags claiming that ecigs and vapes were invented to help people quit smoking. No. No they fucking weren’t. You see back in the late 90s/early 2000s, smoking was already starting to decline. Not only that, but states continued to pass anti-smoking legislation like outlawing smoking in bars and restaurants, increasing taxes on tobacco products, restricting the kind of advertising that tobacco companies could use to sell cigarettes, etc. This scared the shit out of tobacco companies. They were smart enough to see the future and it didn’t look good for their profits. That is how things like ecigs and vapes were born. It was a way for them to continue to get people addicted to their products (the nicotine in ecigs and vapes is extracted from tobacco) and still have a captive market, while getting around all the regulations. Now most of the major vape companies are owned by companies that are cleverly hidden subsidiaries of big tobacco companies. It was never about helping people quit smoking. People were already doing that (or never starting in the first place) all on their own, thanks to decades of public health campaigns. It was always about profits and keeping as many people addicted as possible so they would never go out of business.
Ugh, I just hate the “it won’t fix everything, so why bother?” attitude.
