Would JUULs be a good replacement for regular cigarettes?

What is the goal?

If you're trying to quit nicotine, I'd say no, because it's easier to vape than to smoke - so you'll have more opportunity.

If you want to continue a nicotine habit, but get rid of the "cigarette" hassle, probably worth a shot. But again, because of the convenience, you could end up consuming more.

I don't know cost comparisons. And I've seen reports of fakes on the market. Be careful putting them in your pocket.

FWIW - From a former smoker, and never vaped

The JUUL got me off of my 1+1/2 pack a day habit. People are gonna say s*** like "popcorn lung" about it, but there have been no real confirmed cases.

My throat and chest feel so much better now that I use it.

I use the mint or the mango pods, and when they're empty, I hold onto them to fill them up with my own 50/50 nicsalt juice.

If I remember correctly, around here 1-1/2 packs a day would be about $15-$20 a day.

How does that compare to JUUL'ing?


It think I've already heard gov'ts proposing higher taxes on vape products now.

The juul is about 15 per week for me, which is a pack of 4 pods. If I were really pinching my pennies, I would go for something like the Suorin drop.

Its another nicsalt vape where the pods are around 4 bucks, and you fill them yourself. One pod lasts around 2 weeks, and the juice is about 20 per month. The device itself (which comes with a pod) is around 24.

I guess I was a little high on my estimate - Google says a pack of smokes in Ohio average a little over $6

Definitely. Cigarettes kill. Vaping doesn’t.

I just spent $8 on the pack of Marlboro Menthol's I just bought yesterday. I just found somewhere that sells various vapes including JUULs. Before I started looking at JUULs and other Vapes I was almost at 2 packs a day.

1st death from vaping (suspected)

Many are now showing up with cases of respiratory complications/disease linked to vaping.

My thought:
Combination of over indulgence, and illegal/illicit substances added that turn out to be harmful when vaporized and inhaled (who'da thunk!)

From WebMD: "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. It's sometimes caused by breathing in a chemical used to flavor microwave popcorn. But other chemicals or lung illnesses can also cause popcorn lung.

Sure sounds possible.
