Existing Market
1. The next thing for the health of teens and younger adults is to raise the age to 21 to stop big companies from targeting the younger generation with fruity flavors and fun packaging. With the laws being raised it will allow for dangerous products not to be in the hands of teens to become addicted.
2. I interviewed three different people a friend of mine that is a vaper, a friend of mine that doesn’t vape, and a teacher in high school. After I interviewed them, I was surprised mostly by my friend who is a vaper she said that this law will help a lot of younger adults she said that she wishes this law existed already and then she wouldn’t have been addicted. She said that the next thing is to ban certain vape products. Another suggestion was to make all of the companies to go through very extensive health procedures and to let Americans know what goes in the vapes.
3. After the feedback I received vaping and e cigs companies need to go through health regulation and make Americans aware of what is going into the products. Vaping and the use of e-cigs have become an increasing health problem from the fact that its more accessible and are able to do it anywhere. The scary fact about being able to use it all day long is people do and that can only become a health problem and since they have not been out long, we do not know the long-term effects. So, my hope is to make the younger population aware that vaping is not any better than smoking cigarettes and that if we see our friends and loved ones do it not to encourage them and make them aware of how dangerous they are. Making the country aware that vaping is not an alternative
I would say that this law changing the age is an incremental innovation because it is a market that already exist and is making small changes right now in some city but looking for a change in the country law.
New Market
1. For my new market I will be dealing with smoke shops and how they make their money and one what product sell the best.
2. The venture concept for a smoke shop is to market and find out what the people in your city want and products that might incise them.
3. I interviewed two people that go to smoke shops on a regular basis and the other is a worker at the smoke shop.
4. After I interviewed the two people involved in smoke shops, they explained to me that the nicotine is a big seller and that’s why a lot of people come in on a regular basis. The one that surprised me was since the age of buying nicotine has increase to 21 buyers have found an alternative and can buy CBD wraps since there is no tobacco in them.
Hey Carly,
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that your friend who vapes wishes she never got addicted. I feel the same way, i think a lot of people do. That shows how addicting nicotine really can be. Even people that don't want to be smokers are stuck in this loop of vaping because it is so addictive. This is a good sign that something has to change.
Hey Carly,
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense that your friend addicted to nicotine wishes that the age to buy tobacco was 21 so she would've never gotten addicted. I think most people addicted to nicotine wish they weren't, as the habit is expensive and harms their lungs. Moving onto smoke shops after the age is raised to 21 seems like a good step because without easy access to nicotine products, it would be harder for people to get addicted.
