Vaping has increased around 80% among highschool students and roughly 50% among middle school students. The FDA is trying to get rid of the flavored vapes and juices to try and decrease the use from younger students. They will still keep other flavors that adults trying to stop smoking would be able to use. Doctors worry that young kids using this could lead to long term effects since there bodies are still developing. The new policy would allow vapes to mainly be sold in age restricted areas and could possibly get rid of all the vapes out of store fronts so children are not as interested.

What would you do if your kids were vaping or juuling?
I would be upset and scared for there health.
How do you think they can stop the vape usage rate from increasing any more?
I think not making the packages as exciting or well designed that interest kids in stores could help and have all the flavors that kids want to try and stick to the more basic flavors for adults.

Well done Robert!! Be sure to capitalize key words in your title.
I would be upset with my child becasue it could lead to other things like chew or just normal cigarettes which isn't good either, I would try to punish my child but if they really want it then they will find a way to get it no matter what you say or do to them. I think it would help if so many kids weren't so exposed to it, and taking it out of conveince stores would help because it wouldn't be able to catching their eye anymore.
I would be upset and not be very happy becuase they are putting there health at risk because of what they are doing. I think they should not be avertising it as much as they do and not make flavored ones because thats what all students think is the cool thing.
I would be upset because yes these things can cause many health problems in the future and since they are young it could effect them even more. I think less advertising would help because not everybody would be seeing it and not as many kids would know about them.
I would be mad too I would take them away from them and make sure they do not ever get them back and try to keep them away from things like that. I think gas stations should stop selling them or decrease there inventory.
I would be upset with them, becasue I know it can be tempting for some people, but it is really bad for your health. I think that they can not market them to teens, sell them in the adult sections of stores, where they sell alchohol, and ban teen marketing.
I would get them to stop
I think if you can get out the messgae that it is bad for you then maybe you could lessen it
I would tell my kids to stop and then tell them all the health risks and everything bad about the vapes and get them to never do it. Yes a bad message about the vapes could possibly scare people and they might not want to buy or use them anymore.
If my kids were vaping I would be upset and not want them to do this. But it could do bad things to their health so I wouldn't want them to vape. Not have as exciting colors and products.
If my kids ever did that I would punish they and I would take it away from them and pay closer attention to make sure they stop. I think that the different flavors intrege younger kids and I think they need to get rid of that. Also they should make it harder for people to get a hold of them so they can't sell them to teens.
