Juul Lawyer in San Diego
Juul advertised their products as “a better alternative to smoking.” Teenagers quickly fell victim to this belief as the flavors mimicked that of candy. Individuals that were not previous smokers also fell victim to this new trend, “Vaping.” Long term smokers, looking towards a healthier alternative, were also led astray into Juul’s vaping claims that they are safer to use than smoking cigarettes.

Is Juul worse than smoking cigarettes?

What is Juul’s purpose?
During development, Juul’s intended purpose is creating a “satisfying alternative to smoking cigarettes.”
Juul’s mission statement: “IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THE WORLD’S ONE BILLION ADULT SMOKERS BY ELIMINATING CIGARETTES.”
According to Juul’s website, former smokers, James and Adam, are the founders of Juul. Their primary purpose is to target the world’s one billion adult smokers by eliminating cigarettes and providing a healthier alternative. They would like adults to trade in their use of cigarettes, with the use of their deadly products.
Are Juul/ e-cigarettes safe?
Juul manufacturers advertise their products as “a safer alternative to cigarettes. Juul claims to be free from the many harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.” Most e-cigarette companies fail to tell consumers that their products contain Diacetyl. This missing ingredient could kill you silently.
According to OSHA, "Diacetyl (also called 2,3-butanedione) is a chemical used to give butter-like and other flavors to food products, including popcorn. This chemical is a marker of exposure to flavoring vapors in investigations evaluating lung disease in microwave popcorn manufacturing facilities. 1." This one ingredient used for flavoring Juul's vape juice is a harmful component of how "popcorn lungs" will slowly kill you. A chemical that, if vaporized, is highly toxic and can have detrimental health effects on those who inhale its vapors.
Various reports expose this information. The different flavor chemicals present in e-cigarette refill fluids are Diacetyl, cinnamaldehyde, menthol, and ethyl vanillin. They are sweet, buttery/creamy, and fruity/citrus e-liquids.
Juul cannot confirm that their product does not contain traces of this toxic chemical. Juul does deny any involvement with adding dangerous amounts of Diacetyl to their products.

"Popcorn lung" is the nickname for bronchiolitis obliterans. It is a condition that damages your lungs' smallest airways and makes you cough and feel short of breath. Breathing in Diacetyl, by inhaling its components is what causes "popcorn lung" to present itself.
Have you noticed yourself coughing more and having trouble breathing while doing your everyday tasks since you began using Juul?
Do you have a hard time, "catching your breath?"
The most common injury associated with diacetyl vapor exposure is bronchiolitis obliterans (popcorn lung).
Popcorn lung is rare and a condition that damages your lung's small airways, making it difficult to breathe and causing individuals to experience aggressive coughing spells. If untreated, popcorn lung can degenerate into total respiratory collapse, which can be fatal. That is not the only problem that is present because of "vaping."
