Pick Your Poison

MaKenna Kelly, Photography Editor

Just like the rest of the world, cigarettes are becoming more technological. An E-Cigarette is a cigarette-shaped device containing a nicotine-based liquid that is vaporized and inhaled, used to simulate the experience of smoking tobacco. Juuls and vapes are both types of e-cigarettes, and they have became very popular. 

A juul is a heated up device with a cartridge containing oils to create vapor, which quickly dissolves into the air. The device is small enough to fit in a closed fist and has a sleek, tech-inspired design that resembles a USB flash drive. One Juul pod has the same amount of nicotine as a full pack of cigarettes. Nicotine is not what causes cancer in smoking, but nicotine is an addictive drug that causes you to be addicted to smoking.

 

A Vape is an electronic cigarette or e-cigarette.  A Vape is a handheld electronic device that simulates the experience of smoking a cigarette. It works by heating a liquid which generates an aerosol, or “vapor,” that is inhaled by the user. Using e-cigarettes is commonly referred to as vaping. A vape has similar effects that a juul does, but you can change the settings on how much nicotine you dispense.

 

Web MD says,“‘Popcorn lung” is the nickname for bronchiolitis obliterans. That’s a condition that damages your lungs’ smallest airways and makes you cough and feel short of breath.” These electronics could cause popcorn lung and contain many chemicals that can cause cancer. They include formaldehyde, metals, and particles that can get stuck in the deeper part of your lungs.
