Hello Friends and Neighbors,

Our schools and communities are in the midst of an e-cigarette epidemic.  As Legislators, we recognize how important it is to bring community members and experts to the forefront of the conversation to share facts and develop meaningful solutions.  This townhall is a FAMILY FRIENDLY event and the amazing students have been engaged in the organization of the event. 

There are currently 15,500 tobacco flavors...and counting. Many of them taste fruity or like candy – designed to hide the harsh taste of tobacco and to appeal to youth. 

Would you know a vaping device if you saw one? New vaping products are sneaky! They don’t always look like a smoking device. Kids and parents often don’t even know they contain nicotine or tobacco. Please join us for a community forum with a panel of experts to learn more about vaping and what we can do to protect our youth.

Hope to see you,
