Illegal, foreign-made vapes - with youth-appealing flavors like "rainbow cotton candy" - are a growing issue among U.S. teens. Since 2019, high school usage of these disposable vapes has skyrocketed by an astounding 2616%. These are not just statistics – they represent real kids in real communities, with Florida at the forefront, ranking #1 in illegal vape sales.
The impact is visible in our schools and neighborhoods. We've seen the negative effects these vapes have on the health and well-being of America's youth. This is not just a problem; it's an epidemic, and it requires immediate action.
Your experience and your voice are powerful tools in this fight. By sharing your story, you join a community of concerned individuals dedicated to protecting our youth. Together, we can amplify the call to action, urging for these illegal, youth-targeted vapes to be removed from store shelves and eradicated from our communities.
