To date, vaping has caused at least 1,080 injuries and 18 deaths. 

Juul vape pens are, by far, the most popular vaping product sold in the United States. It’s clear that Juul has targeted its marketing efforts to reach children and young adults. Why? To encourage young people to use their product and get addicted, thereby creating a customer for life. However, Juul never disclosed the health risks associated with using its vape pens or products. Instead, Juul advertised its vape pens as a safer alternative to cigarettes.

What is Vaping?

Vaping has largely replaced tradtionally cigarettes. This is thanks, in large part, to claims that vaping is safer and less addictive than smoking. In fact, many former smokers have turned to vaping products and electronic cigarettes for help ditching their smoking habit.

What exactly is vaping, though? Vaping is defined as “the act of inhaling and exhaling the aerosol, often referred to as vapor, which is produced by an e-cigarette or similar device.”Many believe that when you vape you’re simply inhaling water vapor. Even though the byproduct of an e-cigarette is called vapor, it’s not water vapor. It’s aerosol. Aerosol contains a lot of chemicals and fine particles, many of which are extremely toxic to the body.

Studies Show Juul Vape Pens Are Addictive

Years ago, cigarette manufacturers had a stronghold on the youth market. Those companies were accused of intentionally targeting its ads toward kids. Now vaping companies are reportedly doing the same thing. Juul is accused of intentionally targeting its advertisements and marketing campaigns toward children, teens, and young adults.

Ads repeatedly showed young people using Juul products. In fact, the company even used social media to encourage young adults – including celebrities –  to share photos of themselves using Juul vape pens. The company also developed flavored versions of its products – ranging from mango to mint to creme. By doing so, the company likely intended to get kids hooked on their addictive products.

Recent research has shown that vaping products are addictive. One study, published by the Stanford University School of Medicine, focused on a group of 12th-grade high school students and their vaping habits. A staggering 46 percent of the students admitted to vaping. Of those students, almost 16 percent said that they used Juul vape pens. 

These students were asked a series of questions to determine if they were dependent on the vaping products. Despite denying addiction, their answers to research questions said otherwise. 

Juul vape pens contain high levels of liquid nicotine. In fact, Juul pod contains as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. Even though Juul told kids that their vape pens were much safer and less addictive than cigarettes, that’s just not the case. Nicotine in any form can be addictive. Unfortunately, the risk of addiction increases significantly when introduced at a young age. 

What Injuries Are Associated With Juul Vape Pens?

Juul told kids that it would be safe to use their vape pens. However, science indicates that vaping is associated with a lot of different side effects and health issues, including: 

  • Addiction to nicotine
  • Lung injuries
  • Popcorn lung
  • Heart disease
  • Seizures
  • Brain injury, and
  • Cancer.

Vape pens have also been known to explode, which can result in serious chemical burns or flame burns. To date, at least 18 people across 15 states have died because of vaping-related injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered an adverse health event because of a Juul vape pen, it’s important to seek help.

What Damages Are Available to Juul Vape Pen Injury Victims in NYC?

When a company sells a product in New York, it has a legal obligation to make sure that it’s safe. So, when Juul decided to market its vape pens to teens in New York City, consumers believed that what they were buying would be safe to use.

Unfortunately, Juul didn’t disclose the risk to public health or provide warnings to its young customers. Instead, it claimed their vape pens were safe and pushed them on unassuming young adults. As a result, young people in NYC were robbed of the opportunity to make informed decisions about their health. Now they’re suffering the consequences.
