From a special edition of Crosscurrents, this is part of a series of stories from students from the San Francisco Unified School District:

My friend Dandar Ganbold is vaping inside my car. He puts an e-cigarette that looks like a metallic USB called JUUL up to his mouth and inhales.

“It's like when you sit down for a long time and you get up you get dizzy and you get disoriented and like it feels like the world is moving like around you,” Ganbold says as he performs tricks, shaping his mouth into an “O” and breathing out circles of smoke.

“Yeah the head rush is basically what I imagine is what everyone is chasing when they use a JUUL product or like any other nicotine-based products,” Ganbold tells me.
