  If only all youth took a drug-free pledge, maybe we wouldn't have an opioid epidemic. Why didn't we think of this sooner?

  @FDATobacco @JeromeAdamsMD unfortunate choice of words, #bullypulpit , when #bullying is precisely what drives many #teens to less than ideal #lifestyle choices. One can tell your intentions are good but this choice of words must be addressed.
