Important News About Vaping

The use of electronic cigarettes or “vaping” devices has been recently linked to severe pulmonary distress in over 200 young adults nationwide, and in the most extreme cases, to death. There have been over 40 cases of pulmonary illness reported in New York State.

Vaping is targeted towards young people, and use has been skyrocketing for teenagers and young adults. E-cigarettes and vaping devices are being used for both nicotine and other substances including THC. THC is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's mind-altering effects, often through cannabis-infused oils in place of e-liquids.

It is extremely important that youth who you know are vaping understand that as of today, it is not clear what specifically is causing the illness – that means that there are no products that have been determined to be safe.
