Vaping: too big a hit?

A new shop called “High Tide Vapes” recently opened in Crescent City,  an emerging market in northern California: e-cigarettes, or “vapes.” Vape sellers argue that their product helps smokers quit tobacco, but health authorities warn against using them as a "safe alternative." E-cigarettes have not been studied long-term, and their harm-free image threatens to create a new addiction for youth who never smoked begin with. "The idea that vapes are being marketed to kids is a serious concern for critics. Flavors, which include gummy bear and chocolate treat, appeal to younger crowds." Del Norte youth share their experience as teen "vapers," on Redwood Voice.
