Juul Vape Pens Deliver a Nicotine Punch as Powerful as a Pack of Marlboros

The chemical mixture in a Juul vape cartridge allows users to take a long drag and ingest a greater quantity of nicotine in the process

Friday, January 10, 2020 - As each day passes it becomes clearer that Juul majority stockholders Phillip Morris and Altria never intended to help adults quit smoking cigarettes, but instead had found the perfect nicotine delivery system to hook a new generation of millions of youngsters on nicotine for life. Juul can be considered a tobacco company disguised as a non-FDA approved medical device and sports the look and feel of a high-tech computer flash drive. The device is easily concealed in the palm or shirt pocket and can be "ripped" on, as high schoolers like to put it, without detection literally in the classroom while the teacher's back is turned to write on the blackboard. Even as vape flavor cartridges are being banned state by state, underage vape users have no problem getting hundreds of different vape flavors called "e-juice" like Peppermint, Coffee, Menthol, Lava Flow, Candy Crash, Blue Jazz, and Lemon Tart, hardly flavors that would appeal to an adult market, by placing an order on the internet. (Can Red Bull flavor delivering caffeine be far behind?) Nicotine addiction makes vaping an endless fad as those addicted will always crave more and more. Banning vaping at this stage could be futile as doing so would create millions of new smokers of combustible cigarettes seeking to satisfy their need for nicotine. Juul vape lawyers offer a free consultation before filing a lawsuit claim.

Traditional smokers who have switched from combustible to e-cigarettes defend the device as life-saving and claim that the amount of nicotine delivered in a vape cartridge is much less than a pack of cigarettes, but they are mistaken. Reuters reports that the motives of Phillip Morris and Altria Group should be investigated because of the potency of the nicotine mixture Juul vape cartridges deliver are greater than the tobacco cigarettes they manufacture. "The nicotine formula used by controversial e-cigarette maker Juul Labs Inc is nearly identical to the flavor and addictive profile of Altria Group Inc's highly successful Marlboro cigarette brand, new research suggests," Reuters writes. In the past, smokers of traditional cigarettes were prevented from inhaling large amounts of smoke because of the burning, gagging and nausea the smoke would induce. Juul vape cartridges were deliberately designed to add a chemical mixture that soothes that burning feeling allowing for a much longer drag. Reuters reports that scientists at Portland State University discovered that "The formulation of Juul's nicotine aerosol was designed to make it far easier for users to inhale larger quantities of nicotine without gagging, gasping or coughing - or even noticing." In the past, it was very difficult for people who wanted to smoke to get started as they would gag and become sick. E-cigarettes are different as the chemical additives make vaping enjoyable from the very first puff. "And once you try it, you're getting dosed with a high concentration of nicotine," noted Portland State University chemistry professor David Peyton, who worked on the vape nicotine study.

As a side note, adults that swear that vaping has helped wean them from smoking cigarettes may be substituting one deadly addiction for another as they are ingesting greater quantities of nicotine by vaping than they were from smoking cigarettes.
