      This is Thomas. He got addicted to nicotine vaping nicotine at age 15. He says he grew tolerant and needed more and more hits to get a buzz, so he mixed in THC vape. Then he got so sick his lung collapsed. His message to youth- don’t vape. It can lead to addiction, and worse!pic.twitter.com/MKS4x0QiCI

      To clarify, when I said he “mixed in THC vapes,” I meant he said he would go back and forth between THC & nicotine vapes. But Thomas was clear- his addiction started w/ potent nicotine vapes, & he wants youth to avoid his mistakes and not vape anything. I hope all agree on that!

          As Thomas makes clear, teens are seeking a buzz whether from nicotine or illegal THC (which caused his illness). Flavors are not a driving factor and banning them will not stop teens from experimenting. But it will hurt adults seeking tobacco alternatives. We need real solutions.

          Agreed! Young people under age 21 should not vape anything! The lungs are still developing until the mid-twenties. Just like the brain. #drugfreeyouth

          We all agree, youth should not vape anything! Youth shouldn’t use illegal drugs, smoke, drink, ingest caffeine in very high amounts (energy drinks), or quite honestly do anything that harms their body! On that we can ALL agree, yes? So since you ask I’ll ask you a couple of...

          questions. Why are youth not listening to you and taking your advice? I mean if they are then there would be no increase in usage, yes? Should adults be punished in some way because the youth clearly aren’t listening to you? I would like an adult response to adult questions!

          Yes we agree as long as products are available for adults like me that quit smoking 10 years ago. And my lungs are the healthiest they have been in years...

          Exactly with potent nicotine vapes! He was #juuling and @JUULvapor products contain 50mg of salt nicotine. They vape for the buzz, not for the flavors! Ban them instead of the open system that offers a variety of step down nic strengths for adults. @adultslikeflavors
