Why is this in good?

Because, if this deal happens it will let us all know with 100% certainty that vaping will be around at least as long as Altria is around - 5150

I'm not sure. The fact that Juul isn't associated with or owned by BT goes a long way toward making the brand a respectable alternative to smoking. If they accept an investment by BT, they lose that and give credibility to the ANTZ argument that vaping is just a gateway to smoking.

Then again, Juul is already the favorite whipping boy of the ANTZ, so perhaps they don't have much to lose?

PS: Since when is cucumber a "sweet" flavor?
