Well, vapes are certainly a very serious issue, and they're definitely not safe for kids to use.

Most kids mistakenly believe that e-cigarettes produce harmless water vapor, and that's definitely not the case.

E-cigarettes can expose kids to massive doses of nicotine, which is extremely addictive.

We all know that.
8:20
Everybody listening knows that.

and you know nicotine can harm the developing brain so studies have also shown that kids that use e-cigarettes are more likely to become cigarette smokers so you know e-cigarettes are definitely not safe and and as you pointed out you know one out of five kids in ohio are using them we're concerned that as kids go back to school that they're going to be exposed to more more e-cigarette use and kids that are using e-cigarettes.
