#CommunityConversation #vaping #MApoli

Maureen is joined by @WMHS_Warriors students Logan and Elaina who are talking about the “on the ground” availability, youth use, and serious public health risks of #vaping

#CommunityConversation #MApoli

Logan and Elaina talking about their peers vaping on the way to and from school, in school bathrooms, in classrooms and more. Youth are addicted to #vaping in our communities.

@MassDPH

@MassDPH Commissioner Monica Bharel giving an amazing overview of state-level efforts to prevent youth nicotine initiation, help users quit, protect the public from secondhand smoke, and promote public health!

#CommunityConversation #MApoli #vaping

Commissioner Bharel: In 2018, 1 in 5 high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the last month— up from 1.5% in 2011

In Mass., in 2017, 41% of HS students reported using an e-cigarette

She adds that she hopes that youth are outraged about the ways in which e-cigarette companies target youth with marketing— this is predatory commerce at the expense of the health and wealth of young people

#CommunityConversation #vaping #MApoli

Youth #vaping is a #PublicHealth epidemic that is putting the health and well-being of our teens at risk, and threatening to reverse the hard won gains we’ve achieved against #BigTobacco over the past several decades.

@US_FDA

We have taken strong action in MA with the passage of the new youth tobacco & vaping law that I championed.

I’m pleased to see the @US_FDA finally taking stronger action vs. vaping manufacturers that use predatory marketing to get teens addicted to vaping and increase profits!

Stay tuned for details of our next #CommunityConversation that will focus on this important issue.
