E-cigarette JUUL and Youth Nicotine Addiction

E- cigarette JUUL and Youth Nicotine Addiction in NEvada

According to the FDA, approximately 3.8 million American children from middle school to high school are addicted to E-cigarettes.  E-cigarettes single-handedly erased the long-fought battle and decline in American youth nicotine addiction.  The World Health Organization claims that e-cigarettes actually double the odds of minors to begin smoking traditional cigarettes later in life.

JUUL was originally touted an alternative to smoking and even as a method to quit smoking; in fact,  JUUL  claimed to be 99% safer than smoking.  Despite their claims, JUUL’s advertising and flavor options (mango, cool mint, and fruit medley) seemed to be geared toward young people.  California and New York are two states that have both sued JUUL for their misleading advertising.
