“Despite teen e-cigarette use increasingly being discussed on the news and in schools, I believe it is much more prevalent than most people think... Nearly every day at East we confiscate these devices. Some days we confiscate more than a dozen.”

Replying to @Surgeon_General
Has anyone examined if the
@JUULvapor issue is a privilege problem? Are inner city, low income youth smoking or using#juul? Seems like it's related to affluence (thus the massive attention) but no info on what "the other side of the tracks" is doing.#curious2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes
Disparities exist in use among kids (evidence suggests youth use is more likely among higher SES populations) but important to remember use is still very high among everyone – kids are selling single hits of JUUL on school grounds, so the cost issue isn’t necessarily prohibitive.
