One JUUL pod contains 20 cigarettes worth of nicotine.The amount of nicotine in one standard JUUL cartridge is roughly equal to the amount of nicotine in a pack of cigarettes, or about 200 puffs, according to the JUUL website. Show
Early nicotine use can harm brain development, alter nerve cell functioning and increase the risk of young people smoking cigarettes. In fact, young people who use e-cigarettes are four times more likely to go on to smoke cigarettes than their peers who do not vape. (Interested in quitting? Learn how to quit JUUL.) JUUL contains more nicotine than many other e-cigarettes.Before JUUL was introduced in 2015, the most popular e-cigarette products contained nicotine strengths of between roughly 1 percent and 2.4 percent. When JUUL debuted, its pods contained 5 percent of nicotine strength. The maker of JUUL claims its nicotine salt formulation increases the rate and amount of nicotine delivered into the blood, compared with other formulations. The company has claimed the product delivers nicotine up to 2.7 times faster than other e-cigarettes. Many people are misinformed about the nicotine in JUUL and other e-cigarettes.Many young people aren’t even aware that they’re consuming nicotine when they use e-cigarettes. Results from a April 2018 Truth Initiative® study published in Tobacco Control show that nearly two-thirds — 63 percent — of JUUL users between 15 and 24 years old did not know that the product always contains nicotine. The study provides further evidence that young people are unaware of the nicotine they are consuming. The majority of youth e-cigarette users think they vaped only flavoring, not nicotine, the last time they used a product. The popularity of this high-potency nicotine delivery device raises concerns about the lack of education and regulation of e-cigarette products. In November 2018, the Food and Drug Administration proposed a plan to address the youth e-cigarette epidemic, which includes limiting the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes to adult-only stores and online. However, the plan does not address the agency’s decision to allow e-cigarettes to stay on the market through August 2022 without its review. This move, made in 2017, allowed electronic tobacco products, including JUUL, to stay on the market unchecked. Truth Initiative is continuing to push for more action to prevent e-cigarettes from putting a new generation at risk for addiction and turning back the clock on decades of progress in the fight against tobacco. These actions include eliminating flavors, banning online sales, restricting marketing appealing to youth and requiring a thorough premarket review of e-cigarettes.

Review Nicotine delivery and cigarette equivalents from vaping a JUULpodJudith J Prochaska et al. Tob Control. 2022 Aug. AbstractWith patented nicotine salt technology, JUUL dominates the e-cigarette market. We reviewed studies of JUUL's nicotine pharmacokinetic profile and studies quantifying nicotine in a JUULpod, emitted in the aerosol and absorbed by users. Examined in eight studies, JUUL's peak nicotine levels were half to three-quarters that of a combustible cigarette in industry-conducted studies with JUUL-naïve users, while comparable to or greater than combustible cigarettes in independent studies of experienced e-cigarette users. JUUL Labs reports each 5% (nicotine-by-weight) cartridge contains approximately 40 mg nicotine per pod and is 'approximately equivalent to about 1 pack of cigarettes.' In five independent studies, nicotine in the liquid in a JUULpod ranged from 39.3 to 48.3 mg. Seven studies measured nicotine delivery via vaping-machine generated aerosols, varying in puffing regimes and equipment. One study estimated 68% transfer efficiency to the aerosol, measuring 28.8 mg nicotine per JUULpod. The other studies reported nicotine values ranging from 72 to 164 µg/puff. At 200 puffs, this is 14.4-32.8 mg of nicotine per pod with equivalence to 13-30 cigarettes. A study measuring nicotine levels in JUUL users during a 5-day controlled switch found equivalence to 18 cigarettes. One JUULpod appears capable of delivering the nicotine equivalent to smoking about a pack of cigarettes, with variability. In JUUL-naïve smokers, JUUL's nicotine boost was lower than that of combustible cigarettes; while in experienced users, JUUL was comparable. Minimising harshness and adaptive to user experience, JUUL's design facilitates initiation to a high nicotine, and ultimately, highly addictive vaping product.
