Put it down.

my best friend has been using a juul for a couple years (after a year or two of having a vuse pen, idk how different that is) and her doctor told her she has popcorn lung. so who knows if it's only diacetyl. apparently it's caused by the vapor particles being abrasive and building up scar tissue in your lungs. I imagine whatever else they would use to replace the diacetyl could have the same effect.

I also did the math from the info I could find online and I believe 1 juul pod has almost as much nicotine as two packs of cigarettes (and you don't even ingest the full amount of nicotine from a cigarette because it's constantly burning). that first hit is pretty strong. I've seen my best friend and her brother get in some stupid intense fights over sharing vapes. as a smoker I know how bad withdrawal is and I imagine it could be even worse with a juul
