Vaping

As our kids return to in-person learning, e-cigarette use may not feel like our biggest concern. But the youth vaping epidemic rages on, with almost 4 million middle- and high-schoolers vaping, the majority of them using flavors. Back among their peers, with COVID-fueled anxiety on the rise, kids will have much easier access to these dangerous devices. After all, there’s a reason kids refer to the high-school bathroom as the “JUUL room.”

​

At the same time, the FDA is undergoing a long-delayed Premarket Tobacco Product Application review process of millions of flavored e-cigarettes, which the agency has allowed to remain on the market without full regulation for years. Under court order, FDA has promised a decision by September 9 on whether or not these products--including, most notably, menthol JUUL--are “necessary to protect public health.” We parents already know the answer: menthol JUULs, along with all other flavored e-cigarettes, are harming and addicting our kids!
