(PRNEWS) SILVER SPRING, Md., Nov. 9, 2018 - Over the past several months, we've continued to voice our concerns about the growing epidemic of youth e-cigarette use. Our public statements have expectedly prompted responses from industry and public health stakeholders on ways they and the FDA can further address these concerning trends.
But we've also been inundated by a number of people asking for help in their fight against nicotine addiction in children and young adults. We've heard from parents worried about their child's use of e-cigarettes, and asking for help for their child who they believe is already addicted to nicotine. Teens have also reached out following our public education campaign launch wanting information about how to quit their own use of e-cigarettes or how to get help for their friends.
