As for Klipsch's political leanings.....

Klipsch, the retired CEO of the Scott County Family Y, says he wants to wait until 5 p.m. Thursday to elaborate on his future. He has solicited the help of Brian Dumas, CEO and co-owner of Davenport-based Victory Enterprises and a Republican political consultant.  (Quad City Times, 4/2/2015)

UPDATE: Remember, Juul recently jumped into bed with Big Tobacco

WIRED

So I'd take this full-page ad in the New York Times with a big grain of salt.

File this ad under "bridge for sale".

Original 12/21/2018 post, "Marlboro goes to where the flavors are", starts here.

Juul

Juul Closes Deal with Tobacco Giant Altria.  (The New York Times, 12/20/2018)

The tobacco giant Altria, maker of Marlboro and other top-selling brands of cigarettes, has agreed to pay nearly $13 billion for a 35 percent stake in Juul Labs, the wildly popular vaping company that burst on the scene in 2015 with a mission to render cigarettes obsolete.
