Vaping: too big a hit?

A new shop called “High Tide Vapes” recently opened in Crescent City,  an emerging market in northern California: e-cigarettes, or “vapes.” Vape sellers argue that their product helps smokers quit tobacco, but health authorities warn against using them as a "safe alternative." E-cigarettes have not been studied long-term, and their harm-free image threatens to create a new addiction for youth who never smoked begin with. "The idea that vapes are being marketed to kids is a serious concern for critics. Flavors, which include gummy bear and chocolate treat, appeal to younger crowds." Del Norte youth share their experience as teen "vapers," on Redwood Voice.Sexy woman holding an ecigarette to her lips
