The appearance of Juul as a donor at the California state Democratic convention upsets lawmakers and health advocates who are battling the vaping company.

The appearance of Juul as a donor upset some Democrats and health advocates who have waged battle against the vaping company. Juul is facing increased scrutiny over the company's marketing practices as teen use reaches epidemic levels.

"If Democrats are going to position themselves as a party that stands up for the public against big special interests, they can't be taking money from the biggest purveyor of nicotine addiction to kids," said Dr. Stanton Glantz, University of California at San Francisco's director of its Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education. "They can't talk out of both sides of their mouth.

State Sen. Jerry Hill of San Mateo said he was shocked to see the Juul logo across the screen on the main stage. "It's giving the impression that the Democratic Party supports this company. It was disappointing because the party of the people would stoop this low for money. And it was disgusting because we know that the company is addicting a future generation."

This is a joke. “The safety and well-being of America’s youth is not for sale,” Krishnamoorthi wrote. If you look into the MSA, anyone can clearly see that all of our health is for sale to the highest bidder, as long as the state gets paid.
