More than a quarter of high school students admit to vaping.
The Food and Drug Administration has tested 120 vaping product samples, and so far has been unable to identify any one brand, ingredient or substance that could explain the recent spate of illnesses.
To date, there are 496 confirmed or suspected cases in 42 states, plus the U.S. Virgin Islands. The number of cases is expected to continue to grow as awareness of the problem grows.There are no nicotine replacement therapies approved by the FDA for kids under age 18, though some doctors do prescribe them off-label.
Meredith Berkman, co-founder of Parents Against Vaping E-cigarettes , has been vocal about the dangers of flavored e-cigarettes since discovering her teenage son, Caleb, was one of the rapidly growing number of kids vaping. The two now work to educate other youth about vaping and addiction."In this moment, we are really grateful," Berkman said.
