Pod mod

Pod mods are a type of electronic cigarette used to vape nicotine through a mouthpiece connected to the body of the device by magnets.

Researchers recently conducted a study that revealed that 63% of participants who have used a Juul (popular pod brand) were not aware that nicotine was present in the product.

Due to the unknown nature of first-hand and second-hand inhalation of pod mod usages, some governments and schools are taking preventive action.

Many organizations including Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices aim to educate students and teachers about the health-related risks of using pod mods and such products.

In April 2018 the Food and Drug Administration began a nation-wide intervention on the resale of pod mods through websites other than its official site.
