Star Ledger--Pallone is right: Government must lead the fight against teen vaping | Editorial
There are kids smoking e-cigarettes in your local middle school and high school today, perhaps dozens of them, and many have even mastered the trick of doing it during class without being detected.
It involves a $50 device not much larger than a USB thumb drive known as a JUUL, which they can pull out for a brain-twerking nicotine rush when the teacher’s head is turned, and detection is hard because the odorless vapor dissipates almost as quickly as it takes to exhale.
