As I was going through my peer’s blogs, I noticed Chase’s blog about juul’s. Many of my peers use them and they seem so addictive that I decided to do my second blog post over that topic. Also so I can learn more information about this new “trend”. I feel as people shouldn’t use juul’s. Here are six facts about juul’s that most people should know. According to Truth Initiative, one juul pod contains about 20 cigarettes worth of nicotine. About 200 puffs is equal to smoking a whole pack of cigarettes. Nearly 1 in 5 students between the ages of 12 and 17 have seen juul’s used in schools. The majority of the youth users of juul’s are misinformed about the dangers of it. In a survey done at the University of Michigan more than 40,000 students believed they were vaping only the flavoring, not the nicotine. Truth Initiative surveyed a national sample of more than 1,000 12 to 17-year old’s in April of 2018. In this survey they found that 74% of the teens got a juul at a store or a retail outlet. In that same survey, 52% of 12 to 17-year old’s say they received a juul from a friend or family member. In that same survey, 6% of the 12 to 17-year old’s say they bought one online. According to a social media account, they are so many new pod systems a day that they can’t review all of them. The Food and Drug Administration has taken steps regarding the juul. This includes issuing warning letters to retailers who are selling to minors, making Juul Lab turn over documents related to marketing, health effects, and use among youths, and removing certain juul flavors. Everyone should read the facts before doing something so addictive.
