I feel like that’s pretty meaningfully different from the original claim that the US government allows cigarettes to be advertised to children.

Didn’t they close up the loopholes in advertising regulations that Juul exploited?

What? Tobacco is like, the one thing that actually has extremely stringent advertising regulations in the US. When vaping products like Juul came around, they were able to exploit loopholes in those laws, but I think those have pretty much been patched up by now.
