Yet another study has been published that proves the damaging affects of Juul.  The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine contains findings from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in a study entitled, “Microbial Toxins in Nicotine Vaping Liquids.”  Testing vaping liquid revealed the presence of glucan, a microbial toxin that can be found in fungal cell walls, in tobacco and menthol flavored liquids.  This toxin causes inflammation in the user’s airways and can lead to chronic lung damage.

A new study from the Division of Cardiology at the University of California confirms that Juul’s claim to be “safer” than cigarettes is false.   This study demonstrates that inhaling nicotine impairs the user’s vascular and endothelial functions.  The user’s cardiovascular outcome is negatively affected.  This may be compounded in teenagers, who have reported over-consumption of nicotine products such as Juul.
