Teen Juuling

Teens are now juuling to relieve their stress.

Well, what is juuling? Juuling, or vaping, is when someone uses a vape pen and inhales the heated vape juice. It was originally created for people trying to quit smoking, however, it has recently become a trend within teens who’ve never smoked before.

Juuling affects the developing brains of teens differently than it would with the brains of adults. When teens juul on a day to day basis, it is proven that their performances on memory-related tasks are worse than the average teen that does not juul. Additionall

However, there are lots of other ways to reduce stress that are good for your brain and body such as getting more sleep, managing your time, and meditation. Overall, these are a few ways for vaping teens to better relieve their stress.

    I see this happening a lot among high school students in Marin. The worst part is young people are getting addicted to nicotine, which is a very difficult drug to quit using. Thank you for spreading the news that juuling is NOT cool!
