Vaping company Juul, officially known as the more scientific-sounding "Juul Labs, Inc.," was a major sponsor of the California Democratic Party's weekend convention as bans on flavored tobacco gain traction in San Francisco and statewide.

This caused quite a dustup at the convention and led Hene Kelly, a party leader for San Francisco Democrats, to deliver a stellar speech from the floor.

In case you (or the California Democratic Party) forgot, Altria bought a 35% ownership stake in Juul that valued the hip-with-the-kids company at $38 billion.

Something tells me the sponsorship arrangement with California Democrats may go up in smoke.
