In 2016, Paula’s son Walter had just started high school in Delaware when a friend offered him a cool-looking flavored e-cigarette that had just come on the market: a JUUL. 
 
Walter, a twin, and one of Paula’s four children, was almost immediately addicted, often vaping multiple mango or mint JUUL pods every day.  Walter’s asthma, largely under control since childhood, returned with a vengeance:  the more Walter vaped, the more severe his asthma attacks became. 
 
The final attack led to Walter’s death in September 2020, just a few days before his 20th birthday.

In this week’s episode, Paula explains that publicly sharing her family’s tragedy—raising awareness about youth vaping’s serious health consequences—is her way of fighting back against an industry preying on teens.

Urge the FDA to Ban ALL Flavors

After years of delay, FDA has finally begun reviewing applications from thousands of flavored e-cigarette products that have never been regulated. It has never been more urgent or timely for parents across the country to demand that FDA ban these flavored products that are hooking an entire generation on nicotine!
