Teenage Vaping Hits “Epidemic” Levels in U.S.

Teenage vaping has hit “epidemic” levels in the U.S. within just a few years — and one of the most popular products is JUUL vapes.

What is a JUUL?

JUUL is a vape or e-cigarette device that looks like a USB flash drive. Since being introduced in 2015, Juul has rapidly taken over the vaping market. More than two-thirds of the e-cigarette market in the U.S. was for Juul products by 2019, mostly due to the popularity of powerful 5% nicotine cartridges and fruity-flavored vape pods that appeal to young people.

What is the Problem?

A growing number of class action lawsuits accuse Juul Labs Inc. of illegally marketing highly-addictive vapes toward young people. These lawsuits claim that Juul downplayed the addictive risk of nicotine and specifically targeted teenagers in an effort to entice a new generation.
