Surgeon general issues advisory about teen vaping

The surgeon general has issued a warning about the sharp spike in e-cigarette use among teenagers. Health officials estimate that 3.6 million teenagers in the U.S. are using e-cigarettes, and that rate is quickly climbing. Results from a federal survey released Monday show that the number of high school students using e-cigarettes has doubled since last year. Surgeon General Jerome Adams says that everyone from teachers to federal officials needs to take “aggressive” action to curb e-cig use among minors. Adams also pointed a finger at e-cigarette makers, including Juul, which have been criticized for helping to fuel the popularity of e-cigs among teens.
