Cigarette JUUL

Here are the links to the articles that I used.

"JUUL Vs. Cigarette: Why You Should Get a JUUL (Or Another Nicotine Salt Vape)" - The Odyssey Online.

This article talks of the benefits that e-cigarettes, particularly JUULs, have over traditional cigarettes. Specifically, it mentions the expense compared to smoking along with the smell and taste.

"Juul, Other E-Cigarettes Called an 'Epidemic' by FDA Chief" - checkupnewsroom.

This article discusses how widespread e-cigarettes, mainly JUULs, have become today and their potential health implications. It also brings up a discovery by UCSF about how there seems to be little difference between the potential risks of cancer between cigarettes and e-cigarettes, even if the e-cigarettes do not contain nicotine.

"The Promise of Vaping and the Rise of Juul" - The Newyorker.

This article highlights the improvements to the health of smokers that e-cigarettes have relative to traditional cigarettes, particularly its cleanliness.
