The Youth E-Cigarette Epidemic Getting Worse For Florida Teens

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is trying to pass legislation giving 100-million-dollars for five years to the CDC to fight this epidemic. Studies show 25-percent of Florida high school students and 8-percent of middle school students are now vaping. Dr. Barry Hummel with the Tobacco Free Partnership of Broward County says the nicotine is given in such large doses it's wreaking havoc on young bodies. He says it alters brain chemistry leading to all kinds of problems like shaking, nausea and attention deficit disorder. He blames aggressive advertising and flavored nicotine for the spike in teen vaping.
