LIFE
Sunscreen is part of the ritual of going to the beach, swimming at the pool, playing outside, and something that parents smother on their children. It protects users from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, which damage the skin and can lead to premature aging and even skin cancer. Putting on sunscreen is an important way to stay healthy yet it has also been having an unexpected negative effect on our oceans. the slow death of many coral reefs and the "bleaching" or expelling of the symbiotic algae from coral are caused not just warming waters but also by chemicals in the sunscreen. Frequently used by beach-goers and snorkelers, the sunscreen washes off as they splash in the water, killing the symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae.
On any high school campus, including Exeter, it is not hard to find someone who has JUULed before. JUUL rose in popularity among high school students so rapidly that the Food and Drug Administration has declared the trend an epidemic. Many students justify their usage with their belief that vaping is safer than smoking traditional cigarettes, and this idea is undoubtedly supported by JULL's marketing strategies. However, while e-cigarettes, they are certainly still neither healthy nor safe, especially for developing youth.
Combustible cigarettes do contain a larger number of harmful chemicals than vape products. Cigarettes contain not only tobacco but carcinogenic substances such as tar, which are burned and inhaled as smoke. E-cigarettes including JUUL, however, deliver nicotine by heating substances into an aerosol rather than burning them into smoke. In this way cigarettes are indisputably worse for your health than e-cigarettes.
