JUUL Related Seizures
Nicotine is a known cause of seizures, particularly nicotine poisoning or when someone absorbs too much nicotine into their system. People without a history of long term nicotine use are particularly at risk from high doses of nicotine. The FDA is investigating hundreds of cases of JUUL vaping causing seizures, and our firm accepts cases of seizure after vaping in minors and young adults. Contact us for a free seizure from vaping legal consultation.
JUUL pods are estimated to contains as much nicotine as 1.5 packs of traditional cigarettes, or 30 cigarettes per pod. It is not uncommon for our firm to hear of newly addicted teens using up to 2 pods a day (or more), which is the nicotine equivalent of 3 packs a day. Previously, it was effectively impossible for a minor to consume such a high nicotine dose per day, as they would need to light one cigarette off the last one even while sitting in a classroom.
