Vaping History
Even though the concept of vaping has been around since as early as the 1920s, it did not gain great popularity in the United States until the mid 2000s. And even though the United States has made great strides since the 1960s to warn the public about the dangers of smoking cigarettes and has made the tobacco and cigarette industry one of the most highly regulated and controlled industries, the dangerous products that the vape and e-cigarette industry provided to consumers have only recently come under scrutiny.
As more and more people are suffering from injuries and becoming ill as a result of using vapes and e-cigarettes, the need for a good Washington, DC vaping injury lawyer is rapidly on the rise.
Vaping companies such as JUUL, SMOK Nord, Uwell Caliburn, Aspire AVP, Kanger, GeekVape, Eleaf, Aspire, and many, many more, seem to have knowingly misled consumers into thinking that vaping is a safe alternative to smoking. As well, many innocent smokers were told that vaping is a safe way to quit smoking.
Companies that made false and illegal advertisements about their vape and e-cigarette products, should be held accountable for their wrongdoings.
