Whether it because it’s the new fad or because it’s all over the news, the Juul is all anyone is talking about these days. But is it harmful or helpful? The answer is complicated. It’s helpful when used properly, AKA as an alternative to those who are addicted to cigarettes and is not helpful when teens get their hands on it and use it as a gateway to nicotine addiction.
@US_FDA I’ll bet we will see a bunch of fourth graders smoking Newport’s now that they are addicted to nicotine and can’t get it in cotton candy flavor anymore #juul

Like this tweet says, it is way too easy for kids to get their hands on Juuls and they don’t even get what they’re doing to themselves.
Could you explain me, how the Teenager's got the Juul so easy? The buy restrictions for #ecigaretts are so strict in Germany and i try to understand how its so easy to buy a #juul thx

Along with this tweet, I think that with all the misuse, the Juul is causing more harm than good because we also don’t even know the long term effects!
And those new smokers almost certainly will turn to cigarettes if they don’t have their #JUUL device with them. Not to mention the long term health effects are yet to be known!

With all the controversy among underage use, it was shown that Juul was trying to market to kids and was told to stop!
Social media accounts for #Juul will be deleted in recent findings that they were promoting to minors. This is a step in the right direction to help protect young #socialmedia users and the content they are exposed to. https://t.co/9nuvkhnc6X

With all the misuse, there are people who are really benefiting from it! There are also people marketing it as a smoking alternative and not towards kids!

The Juul may have its benefits but it needs to work out its kinks before it can truly be positive!
