Juul now has more than a 70 percent share of the e-cigarette market and employs about 2,200 people around the world, according to Ms. Andrews. She says 65 to 70 are researchers, including doctors, and others with Ph.D.s, M.B.A.s and other degrees. But so far, Juul has reported funding studies only by the Centre for Substance Use Research, based in Scotland, and collaborating with a few independent laboratories. “They’ve never found anything that was contrary to the interest of the sponsoring tobacco company,” said Dr. Jackler, of Stanford, who studies the tobacco industry. Only 45 percent of the older teenagers had heard of Juul before the survey.
