What is JUUL?
JUUL is a vaping device that contains a high level of nicotine. This device is battery-operated with disposable nicotine filled cartridges called Juul pods. This vaping device operates as a heating element that heats a nicotine solution, producing a vapor, that the user inhales into their lungs. The JUUL device is solely a brand name for one type of e-cigarette. These devices are small and can resemble USB flash drives. However, these JUUL devices were allegedly marketed to minors improperly, which created potential health risks and devastating side effects for some JUUL users. One potential reason for the popularity of the JUUL devices amongst youth is the assortment of different flavored vaping and nicotine solutions that this device offered such as mint, mango, and other fruity flavors.
“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already warned JUUL Labs about marketing its products to youth and claiming they’re safer than traditional cigarettes without any evidence to back up that claim.” (Larson, 2019)
