E-Cigarettes from page 4
to start vaping without knowing the potential
harms associated with nicotine, the suit alleges.
In some cases, underage buyers and
their friends whom they shared with didn’t
know the product contained nicotine.
Juul has been on the defensive since September,
when the first reports of lung damage
and deaths from e-cigarettes were widely
reported. The e-cigarette giant has posted
health warnings on its website and suspended
sales of several popular flavor vape juices.
Days before the state-county legal action
was announced, Juul announced it would stop
immediately selling a mint-flavored product
in the United States. Back in September, the
company acknowledged that reports of lung
damage by e-cigarette users had hurt public
confidence in the product. Juul said it had
suspended all advertising and promotion
nationwide, and the sale of four flavored
smoke products: mango, creme, fruit and
cucumber pending federal review by the
Food and Drug Administration.
For those unfamiliar with vaping, the
devices that heat the flavored juices are
either a cartridge or a pod, the latter being
the minty device Juul halted sales of earlier
this month. The cartridges can look like a
small box, a lipstick, a USB drive, or even
a can of soda.
Juul started in 2015, almost a decade after
e-cigarettes debuted as alternatives to cigarettes
for smokers trying to quit. Since the
company’s launch in 2015, youth vaping in
the United States has almost doubled. Between
2017 and 2019, e-cigarette use among high
school students rose by 135 percent.
In 2019, five million middle and high school
students used e-cigarettes – an alarming increase
of nearly three million students in two
years. The majority of underage e-cigarette
users report that JUUL is their usual brand,
according to the state-county lawsuit. New
York also has filed a similar lawsuit against
Juul, accusing the company of downplaying
the nicotine in its products so youngsters and
teens would get hooked.
While the smoking craze is safer than
cigarettes, that doesn’t mean teens should
take up the habit, said pediatrician Dr. Alice
Kuo with UCLA Health Sciences. It’s never
a good idea to put chemicals in the lungs,
she said, adding she has seen lung damage
in a few cases at the Redondo Beach clinic
where she practices. She hears a lot from
teens that they think vaping is safe. ”Oh, Dr.
Kuo, you don’t know. It’s just water vapor,”
her young patients tell her.
However, new data from the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control indicates that a black
market for e-cigarettes is behind the emergency
room visits and deaths so far this year. Juice
bought on the street or from family, friends,
dealers or other informal sources “are linked
to most of the cases and play a major role
in the outbreak,” the CDC said last month.
A huge challenge for parents is how easy
it is for minors to buy vape products. South
Bay teens use online websites to bypass the
age restriction of 21 and older, student leaders
with the Beach Cities Health District testified
at the October forum.
Speakers at the vaping awareness event
told parents to be on the lookout for small
smoking devices their teens are carrying
that bear the names Suorin or Pax. Suorin
is less expensive than Juul pre-loaded pods
and pens, and Pax is sold as a cannabis
vape device.
(We contacted Juul asking if the company
had a response to the allegations in the lawsuit.
As of press time Wednesday, we had not
received a reply and there was no mention of
the legal action on Juul’s web site.) •
