The potential danger is that non-smoking children start vaping, and then move onto smoking. We don't think that happens, but it's a bit too early to know for sure.

In the UK there's a voluntary agreement to not market to young people, and to not sell product to people who are not smokers.

Something like juul happening over here would probably prompt more formal regulation.

It definitely happens, it happened to me and a few friends. I suppose we may be extreme outliers but I think it's happening a bit more than people might guess.
