The Health Effects of Vaping on Teens



Just as parents and teachers could tell the difference between Juul and a flash drive, a new crop of flavored vapes hit the shelves, and these might be even easier to hide. Why? Because they're disposable. That’s right, the tobacco industry has replaced their $40 iPhone of e-cigs, with a $10 vape kids can toss in the trash. (Sorry landfill.) Like Juul, many of these disposable vapes use nicotine salts, high-potency nicotine designed to absorb more quickly. Which should worry you. Because nicotine, in addition to addicting kids, can increase their anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and learning difficulties. Trending brands of disposable vapes to watch for: Puff Bar, Posh, Stig, Mojo, and Twst. Some of their kid-friendly flavors: Blue Raz, Frosted Apple, Mango, Lemon Dessert, Cherry Bomb.
