Vaping May Only Be A Fad Among High School Kids But Has Created a Generation Addicted to Nicotine

The title of this article purposely uses the past tense since the damage that has been done is too late to reverse and can only be limited

Monday, December 9, 2019 - Cities, states and now school districts are taking their outrage to court and filing lawsuits against Juul Inc., the country's leading manufacturer and seller of e-cigarettes and related vaping products. On December 1, 2019, The Guardian reported that school districts from coast to coast have filed legal complaints against Juul to either recoup funds spent on fighting student vaping or to create funds to do so. Vaping sickness and catastrophic nicotine addiction among underage middle school and high school minors and young adults have reached epidemic proportions and if nothing is done to stop Juul and others will continue to skyrocket very soon. In a piece entitled "More than a dozen US school districts sue Juul and other vape companies" The Guardian reports on what school district administrations are doing to combat the vaping epidemic. "School districts in states including Missouri, Kansas, Arizona, New York, and California have filed lawsuits against Juul and other vape companies, seeking to recoup financial losses incurred while attempting to manage the exploding number of students using e-cigarettes." JUUL Vape pens lawsuits are represented by top national attorneys with vast experience handling recalled products and pharmaceutical lawsuit cases and have a winning track record.

According to the American Medical Association, over 10% of middle schoolers and 25% of high schoolers admit to vaping according to The Guardian. Most high school teenagers explain in Yahoo videos that they think that the percentage is more like 90% of the student they know vape as the stigma of smoking combustible cigarettes has been replaced with the cool, high-tech, yet highly addictive fad of vaping. The Cleveland Clinic estimates that a single vape cartridge delivers as much nicotine as an entire pack of traditional cigarettes and can be smoked indoors without detection by teachers and monitors making it possible for a young adult to inhale large quantities of nicotine every day. Kids say on YouTube that they "Wake and vape" meaning that it is the first thing that they think of every morning. Vaping among teenagers and minors has also been promoted by offering flavored vapor cartridges in flavors that would appeal to minors and Amazon.com continues today to offer thousands of vape pens, flavor pods, and auxiliary vape products.

Juul Inc. is under investigation for deceptively marketing their brand of e-cigarettes using a sophisticated form of e-marketing called an affiliate program. Juul incentivized social media influencers, other young adults with millions of Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram subscribers, to use and recommend Juul vape pens and flavor cartridges and to encourage the viewers to click a link placed below that would take them to the Juul site. The affiliate would then be paid a commission, usually somewhere around 10% of the gross amount of the referred customer's order. In addition to targeting minors, another despicable element of Juul's marketing is that they deceived impressionable, uninformed, and rebellious youngsters into thinking that Vaping was not bad for their health and is, in fact, a very good thing to do since it replaces combustible cigarettes and we all can agree how bad that is.
