Juul In School Is The YouTube Search You Need To Make

Students are taking up the vaping habit in alarming numbers and becoming nicotine-addicted in the process

Tuesday, March 24, 2020 - Type "Juul In School" into a YouTube.com search box and the videos presented as a result will tell you all you need to know about the teenage nicotine addiction epidemic Juul has created. The first video I watched was produced by the morning national TV show Today, and titled "Vaping in Plain Sight." The video started with a few frames to illustrate the multitude of stealthy vaping devices that can be purchased without age verification online and by local vape shops targeted at middle and high school adolescents that look like common school supplies such as pens, markers, and rulers, jewelry, watches and computer gadgets like a portable thumb drive that school teachers and administrators would never suspect were vaping apparatus. Clothing like hoodie sweatshirts and everyday-looking bookbags are now being made with special pockets designed to hide a vaping device. In a classroom test, the producers of the video hid 14 vaping devices in plain sight on student's desks and teachers were unable to detect 11 of them. Retired police officers and parents were also invited to survey the student's desks and did no better in detecting the nicotine delivery devices. Juul Vape attorneys representing families and individuals nationwide have vast experience with litigations against big corporations and harmful products.

Another video titled, "Are Students Juuling in Your Classroom" interviewed students to get an explanation of how to use an e-cigarette and what the attraction was to the youngest generation. One feature of Juuling that students said made vaping attractive was the ability to hide the device from teachers and their parents. Students told reporters at Education Week that some would put their heads down on their desks pretending to be tired and to take a quick rest but instead would take a "rip" off their vape when the teacher's back was turned. Young vape users have become addicted to the buzz that they would get from taking a drag on a vape and also the taste of the hundreds of different flavor pod options to choose from. It is assumed that students were also unaware that e-cigarettes contained as much nicotine per flavor pod as an entire pack of potent Marlboro cigarettes nor did they know that scientists at Juul deliberately added nicotine salts to the Juul flavor pod chemical cocktail that enabled the user to take a larger, longer and more nicotine-addiction satisfying drag each time they took a hit on a Juul.

A third video analyzed the alarming increase in the number of high school students that had become nicotine-addicted by vaping. The video pointed out that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported a 78% increase in vaping in 2018 over 2017. It was also noted that US Surgeon General Jerome Adams declared "e-cigarette use by America's youth an epidemic in the United States." The video, however, also looked at the statistic that while almost 30% of high school teens have tried vaping only 10% vaped regularly and 90% of them vaped to kick the combustible cigarette habit. A legion of adult cigarette smokers has switched from combustible cigarettes to vaping and feel that vaping has saved their lives.
