Community-Coalition On Drug Awareness

You may have heard of JUUL. It’s one brand of e-cigarette that has gotten very popular lately—so popular that the term “JUULing” is becoming common.

While the JUUL design may look pretty slick, don’t let it fool you: Inside, it has the same nicotine that’s in regular cigarettes. In fact, according to the manufacturer, just one JUUL “pod” (the cartridge inserted into the device) delivers about as much nicotine to the user as a whole pack of cigarettes.

Whatever you call them, and whatever brand they are, there are too many unknowns about the health effects of these devices if you start using them in your teen years.
