it's the flavors it's the online sales
and it's the advertising Congressman
Frank pallone talking to the group most
affected by the growing vaping crisis
high school students vaping has impacted
millions of teenagers across the country
and tens of thousands in the state so we
know almost 10% of youth are smoking
e-cigarettes a little bit broader of a
number is twenty thousand nine hundred
high-school students that are smoking in
general so it's not broken down by just
eat cigarettes but still an alarming
number because they're using tobacco
products
that's why pallone is pushing for his
protecting American lungs and reversing
the youth tobacco epidemic act to pass
the bipartisan legislation that passed
in the house would prohibit all flavored
tobacco products including e-cigarettes
banned most non face-to-face sales for
tobacco products and protect kids from
the predatory marketing of tobacco
products the fact that the legislation
would prohibit the sale of menthol
cigarettes is also a major win for
Public Health
menthol is added to cigarettes to help
the poison go down more smoothly
according to the US Food and Drug
Administration and just one year alone
between 2017 and 2018 a cigarette used
by high school students increased by an
alarming 78% see what happened is when
when we passed laws that prohibited for
example advertising and had the graphic
warnings on cigarettes and we spent
money to try to explain to people why
you know smoke and cigarettes were bad
that did not apply to vaping
advocates say big tobacco campaigns were
so successful that they were able to
rapidly reverse years of progress to
bring down teen smoking rates these
predatory cigarette companies were
marking their tech chic dessert flavored
high nicotine containing ecig or devices
to our kids on social media platforms
using young influencers and cool parties
to promote their highly addictive
products teens in the crowd got a lesson
on the potential consequences of the
highly addictive vaping products through
an anti vaping PSA created by fellow
students for students I feel like they
know that there's consequences but it's
like once again peer pressure
they start vaping the nicotine just
takes over and do you don't know how to
get out of it when you see these someone
your age sort of spread this message
that's when it's the most effective the
bill is now headed to the Senate for a
vote in Edison Raven Santana and JCV
