E-cigarettes are gateway to nicotine addiction

Sexy Paraphernalia –

February 7, 2019 –  A new study finds that e-cigarettes, packed with high concentrations of nicotine, are a gateway to addiction for young users. You’ve probably heard of Juul by now. It has been around since June of 2015, and millions of high school children have already “Juuled,” or vaped, using the device. What you may not know, however, is how Juul’s high 5-percent nicotine pods have caused a so-called “nicotine arms race” across the vaping industry.

“When Juul came on the market three-and-a-half years ago, the vapor market was mostly 1 and 2 percent nicotine. It’s now 6 to 7 percent nicotine,” said Robert Jackler at the Stanford University School of Medicine, noting that a tiny Juul cartridge delivers the same amount of nicotine as an entire box of Camel cigarettes. Jackler makes his case against the vaping industry in a study published in the BMK journal Tobacco Control.
