JUUL Lawsuit Lawyers

JUUL vaping and e-cigarette products have risen in popularity, especially among teens and young adults over the last five years. In this timeframe, JUUL and other e-cigarette companies have maintained that they are safe alternatives to smoking. Research and news reports have shown that this is absolutely not the case and JUUL vaping usage can lead to serious injuries and can cause their users to become dangerously addicted.

Known dangers of JUUL vaping include:

• Severe nicotine addiction
• Permanent brain effects (Adolescent Neuroplasticity)
• Depression, Suicide, Behavior Problems
• Stroke
• Heart attack
• Diseased Arteries
• Lung Disease
• Seizures
• Dental issues (tooth decay, tooth loss)

 

The fact remains that JUUL e-cigarattes are DANGEROUS and the risks involved in using their products are a public health crises affecting both adults and minors.

According to a 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey, in 2011, only 1.5% (1 or 2 out of 100) of high school students reported using e-cigarettes or vaping devices. Today, that number has grown to 20.8% (1 out of 5) of high school students. In the last year alone, e-cigarette usage has increased by 78% in high school students and, more alarmingly, 48% in middle school students.

What exactly led to this dramatic increase in teen e-cigarette usage? The answer: JUUL. Research has shown that JUUL aggressively marketed to teens and young adults by effectively weaponizing social media, normalizing nicotene usage, and adapting big tobacco’s old marketing blueprints in an effort to make teens dangerously addicted to their product and ultimately create life-long customers.
