JUUL was created by a couple of Stanford graduates who set out to help people quit smoking by getting their nicotine fix safely.

Bloomberg News investigative reporter Lauren Etter puts all the pieces together in her new book “The Devil’s Playbook: Big Tobacco, Juul and the Addiction of a New Generation.” (AP Photo/Craig Mitchelldyer, File)
