After the release of Juul, which quickly became popular among teens due to its fruity flavors, the percentage of teens addicted to nicotine rose dramatically from 10.4% to 22.8%. Juul is largely responsible for the rising teen nicotine addiction rates seen after 2017. While Juul is decreasing in popularity, we are still dealing with the health effects it has caused by getting a whole generation addicted to nicotine. It is important to educate others, especially teens, about the dangers of vaping and nicotine addiction and encourage them to quit.

5. Juuls responsibility for rising teen nicotine addiction
When Juul first came out, it took the world by surprise. This was the first, flavored and disposable,
vape. Juul quickly became a trend among teens due to the fruity flavors that enticed the teens to
buy. Teens everywhere were scrambling to get a Juul and be cool like everyone else. This in turn,
pretty much made a whole generation addicted to nicotine. Juul underwent a lawsuit and no longer
makes fruity flavors.

6. Encourage others to quit vaping!
Although Juul is slowing falling off, we still suffer the repercussions that they
started in 2017. Vaping is extremely dangerous to teens and adolescents. If you
see someone vaping, explain to them the effects, and encourage them to quit!
