EUGENE, Ore. -- The Food and Drug Administration has said the escalation of students using e-cigarettes in the past year has been alarming and are even calling it an "epidemic."
Juul is one of the most popular e-cigarette companies, and many University of Oregon students said that it's almost impossible to escape the Juul epidemic on campus because they see them everywhere.

However, with an ingredient list that leads with nicotine, Juul pods are often seen as more addictive than typical e-cigarettes and approach the level of addiction cigarettes cause.
In just one year Juul sales have spiked from 2 million to 16 million, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Students said that they are using the device for all sorts of reasons, ranging from quitting smoking to a leisure activity, but the one thing that students agree on is that no matter their reason for trying it, getting hooked is very easy.
