{"product_id":"big-vape","title":"Big Vape","description":"“Fast-paced and impressively researched, this detailed account sings.”\n―Publishers Weekly, starred review\n\nA Publishers Weekly Top Ten Book of the Summer (2021)\n\nA propulsive, eye-opening work of reporting, chronicling the rise of Juul and the birth of a new addiction\n\nIt began with a smoke break. James Monsees and Adam Bowen were two ambitious graduate students at Stanford, and in between puffs after class they dreamed of a way to quit smoking. Their solution became the Juul, a sleek, modern device that could vaporize nicotine into a conveniently potent dosage. The company they built around that device, Juul Labs, would go on to become a $38 billion dollar company and draw blame for addicting a whole new generation of underage tobacco users.\n\nTime magazine reporter Jamie Ducharme follows Monsees and Bowen as they create Juul and, in the process, go from public health visionaries and Silicon Valley wunderkinds to two of the most controversial businessmen in the country.\n\nWith rigorous reporting and clear-eyed prose that reads like a nonfiction thriller, Big Vape uses the dramatic rise of Juul to tell a larger story of big business, Big Tobacco, and the high cost of a product that was too good to be true.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250838975\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250838975.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ducharme, Jamie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43739242266685,"sku":"BVV.1250838975.VG","price":10.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1250838975-0.jpg?v=1790716722","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/big-vape","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
