Description

Educate your audience on the risks, dangers and effects of Juuling and E-cigarettes with our “Addiction in the Palm of Your Hand” Pamphlet. Electronic cigarettes are everywhere. They claim to help users quit smoking and that they are a “healthier” alternative to traditional cigarettes. However, it has led to a dangerous trend. Teens are flocking to vaping and especially one brand, Juul.

What is a Juul?

Started by a San Francisco crowd funded company in 2017, Juul has swept through middle schools and high schools creating a new generation of smokers. Juuls have become so popular that they have their own verb: Juuling. Juul has become the “cool” vape choice for teens, and that’s a very dangerous fact. The more popular Juul gets, the more competitors show up on the market making it easier for teens to find, and harder for parents and schools to monitor. So what made Juul cool? Juuling is all over social media, gaining hashtags and memes, and generally being popular with young people. It has a sleek design, that is easy to use, easy to hide, and has many flavors.

A large problem with alternative smoking habits like electronic cigarettes and Juuling, is that many teens don’t see it as a bad thing. They’re unaware that there are dangerous chemicals inside the device. Most aren’t even aware that every Juul pod contains nicotine. One Juul “Pod”, (the nicotine cartridge that is inserted into the device and heated into smokable vapor) delivers the equivalent of 200 puffs of nicotine. Which is roughly the same as smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. Young users may start at only one pod or so a week, but because there is no bad taste, smell or cough like regular cigarettes. Many begin smoking three or four pods a week. At that point, they are not only a regular smoker, they are nicotine addicts.
