Juuling- Healthy Kids
  • JUUL is a brand of e-cigarette that is shaped like a USB flash drive. Like other e-cigarettes, JUUL is a battery-powered device that heats a nicotine-containing liquid to produce an aerosol that is inhaled. 

  • All JUUL e-cigarettes have a high level of nicotine. According to the manufacturer, a single JUUL pod contains as much nicotine as a pack of 20 regular cigarettes.  

  • News outlets and social media sites report widespread use of JUUL by students in schools, including classrooms and bathrooms.

  • The device senses when you take a pull from the mouthpiece and heats up to vaporize the liquid inside. According to the manufacturer, it has special temperature-regulation technology to prevent overheating or combustion.
     

Hacking the Juul- opening the pods to reload marijuana.  very potent.
