Pleasing Stop Juuling, It's Not Cool Or Edgy In The Slightest

You really don't look as cool as you think.

Until the fall semester of this past year, I had never heard of Juul before.

I was in an international business class and we had group projects where we had to bring a product to a country it wasn't already in.

One of the groups did their project on bringing Juul to a country that had one of the highest populations of smokers in the world (though I now forget which country that was).

The basis of their proposal was to bring this product to this country to help those people stop smoking. However, upon researching, it seems that "Juuling" is worse for you and more addictive than smoking actual cigarettes.

This semester has seemed like everyone was doing it.

Thus, I have compiled a list of my top five reasons to stop this Juuling obsession.

1. It's extremely stupid.

I simply cannot express how much I hate smoking. So to me, any kind of smoking or vaping or whatever is automatically the worst.

My brother has seen a video where a person at a party offers a Wii remote to other people, pretending it's a Juul and people actually take to it, hopefully realizing how stupid they look.

I have seen videos where one person at a party walks around offering an actual flash drive to people and they put their mouth on it, thinking it's a Juul until they release in surprise. I just think that's pretty ridiculous (yet also pretty hilarious).

2. Juul is very bad for you.

I've done a little research, and according to Vox, a single Juul pod delivers as much nicotine as up to two packs of cigarettes.

Searching through some Reddit responses, I see that one pod lasts most people somewhere between 1 and 3 days.

That would be the equivalent of smoking around 6 packs of cigarettes a week. Now, of course, different people have different habits, but that's just something to think about.

I'm not sure if these people don't realize this, or if they just don't care.

3. I hate finding Juul pods in the laundry machines at school.

On at least three separate occasions I went to put laundry in the washing machine or dryer in my dorm building and found a stupid, empty Juul pod sitting in the bottom of the drum. You better bet I did not use that machine. I honestly wasn't sure if it was safe to.

4. It's making people think it's okay to smoke inside.

You're not getting away from smoking cigarettes by smoking Juul. It's basically the same thing and as I said, Juul is even worse.

If you made the switch because you think it's better for you, take a big step back and do your research.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
