Can I hit that? Is that a juul? Oh my gosh, that's so cool! Can I hit that?
Do you remember the time you pledged to never do drugs in elementary school? Or maybe that time in middle school when they had the D.A.R.E assembly? You swore you would never get involved with drugs because they showed you a lung that was black from smoking cigarettes. You have seen the ads about vaping, how we think that big tobacco companies are not aiming towards kids even though they have flavors like bubblegum, cotton candy and any kind of fruits you can name.
It is often overlooked. We don't really think there is a problem, but there is. Every party is filled with clouds, the smell of sweetness is in the air. The urge to hit someone's juul is crawling around the room. It's no wonder why sickness spreads so fast on college campuses. If you have a juul, vape, or suorin, or whatever device that can blow out smoke -- you know what I mean. And not to mention all the drunk sorority girls who basically beg to get a hit. "Can I hit that?"
The addiction is literally in the air.
I never even knew what a juul or suorin was until college. I knew what vapes were but I thought they were harmless.
These things that are supposed to help people with their nicotine addiction ultimately started a whole new wave of addicts.
It's hard to resist -- I get it. Everyone around you is doing it and you think, "What is the harm in trying it once?" You start learning little tricks, how to french and ghost inhale, how to do O's, and suddenly you find yourself investing in one of these devices.
And it's not cheap. Especially if you're illegally buying it from smoke shops who don't I.D
You begin investing in these devices, constantly hitting it every so often, you don't even realize you're getting addicted. You're even addicted to the motions of putting the device to your mouth.
And of course, it's all fun and games until your nicotine level goes from a 3 to a 50. It is easy to get addicted and it seems completely harmless because there are no studies on what the long-term effects of these have.
This generation's problem is the wave of vaporized smoking devices. If you have not been a part of this wave -- you are in good standing.
If you are a part of the majority who is already addicted, there is hope for you!
It is easier said than done, but think about it. Juul pods cost a crap ton, for what, only 4? You know those go by extremely fast -- especially if you bring that to a party. Vapes itself range from $50-$300, that is if you actually get a nice one. Plus on top of that, you pay $20 for juice that burns your mouth if it leaks.
Imagine how much money you can be saving when you stop feeding your addiction.
