Are you concerned about the recent reports of teens being rushed to the hospital after vaping? The vaping problem is only getting worse. This is how we talk to teens and change the way they think about vaping.

Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there have been 450 possible lung- related illnesses associated with using e-cigarettes. The CDC also confirms six deaths associated with vaping. The American Vaping Association, a pro vaping industry organization, is responding to the adverse reactions reported nationwide, saying millions of adults vape nicotine each month without issue.  The organization claims, “It’s more likely that products causing lung damage contain THC or illegal drugs.” A preliminary investigation of the vaping injuries point towards the use of illicit marijuana vaping devices, but does not mean millions of JUUL users have nothing to worry about. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, more than 3.6 million teens use vaping devices like JUUL and PHIX, devices that were originally intended to wean smokers off tobacco but have quickly turned kids into nicotine addicts.
