My Open Letter to those who are in favor of banning flavored nicotine vapor products.
I started smoking at the age of 14. I come from a family of smokers. I’ve lost many of my family members to cancer and other smoking related illnesses. No one saved me or my family... No one saved me or my family from tobacco. Public health didn’t save us, the government didn’t save us, not even the schools. I spent years trying to quit smoking. I tried the patches, gums, losanges, sprays, and even talked to my Dr. about medications None of it worked!
