The FDA Is Cracking Down On JUUL And Other Popular E-Cigarettes

Buzzfeed News ------ JUUL and other e-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that turn nicotine-containing liquid into vapor that can be inhaled. A JUUL could be mistaken for a USB flash drive and has exploded in popularity with teens and young adults. Other brands of e-cigarettes are called MyBlu, KandyPens, and Suorin. The products can deliver as much nicotine as a cigarette but without as many carcinogens and toxins as traditional cigarettes. The health impact of the other chemicals found in the vapor is still unclear. They are often marketed as an alternative for adult cigarette smokers, although the flavors — crème brûlée, fruit medley, mango, and many others — often appeal to young people who have never smoked cigarettes. And although it's illegal to sell to minors, e-cigarettes can be easy to buy just about anywhere, including on the internet. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
