I also recently issued an advisory on #marijuana use and the developing brain because NO youth or pregnant women should use this substance.

I’m also closely tracking the e-cigarette or vaping associated lung injuries that have plagued the country. Visit https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/ for the latest information.
