Juul may lose more than 75% of sales if flavored e-cigarettes are banned.

That hasn’t stopped it from hiring at its plants.

Juul has said little about plans to open a $125 million Lexington County plant.

Lexington County officials have been silent on the https://wallethub.com/edu/ company’s plans since vaping illnesses surfaced.

“The county has no comment on the business decisions of a private company,” county spokesman Harrison Cahill told the Chronicle

CEO Kevin Burns abruptly resigned last month and Juul suspended advertising amid growing concern about vaping-linked lung illnesses.

In Wisconsin, where the e-cigarette company and its contract partners have hundreds of employees, there are job openings posted at 3 manufacturing plants, USA Today reported.

Burns apologized for the nation’s teen vaping epidemic and resigned.

Juul investor Altria Group, maker of Marlboro cigarettes, said it was Juul’s decision for Burns to resign.

Altria said merger talks with Philip Morris, which sells Marlboro and other products abroad, had ended.

Juul said it would:

• Suspend all US broadcast, print and digital ads.

• Refrain from lobbying the White House on proposed vaping laws saying it will “support and comply with the final policy.”
