So what exactly is "Vaping?" According to Kidshealth e-cigarettes are battery-powered smoking device's. They have cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and chemicals. The liquid is heated into a vapor, which the person inhales. That's why using e-cigarettes is called "Vaping."
This recreational activity has now gone awry forcing parents and guardians to plan their child's funeral instead of their upcoming graduation. This sound harsh but the truth is that the CDC says vaping is a Death Sentence. So, "Just Say No!"
Today's youth have so many opportunities and so much to live for. Cutting life short to a fad because of it's addictive scent, name, taste or color is ludicrous.
Dying from a Lung Injury is not what anyone wants to do....so if you suspect that you are becoming addicted seek help before your lungs succumb to the dangerous effects of vaping.

According to the Washington Post, "As of Sept. 11, officials counted 380 confirmed and probable cases of vaping-related illness reported by 36 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to the CDC.
