CDC WARNING! Students, Be Advised!

As we all know, vaping is very popular among teens, it’s popularity only seems to be increasing, and the kids seem to be under the impression that it is harmless. There is an outbreak of pulmonary disease that the CDC is currently linking to vaping, and they are suggesting people to fully refrain from vaping during the investigation. There have been 5 deaths due to this outbreak so far. It is such a risky behavior because it is still so new that we have no idea what the long term affects will be, not to mention all the ways kids are modifying the liquid that could be putting them in further jeopardy. I am attaching the article from the CDC in hopes you will have time to share this information with your kiddos. As always, thanks for helping me to keep our students healthy and safe!
