Call to Action update in Florida.  FDA-funded research concludes it’s better for public health to encourage parents who smoke to switch to vaping than focus on minors experimenting. A different study finds “pleasant smells like chocolate” help stop cigarette cravings, while yet another finds higher strengths of nicotine and dual use is a good thing when using NRT.

RESEARCH: FDA/NIH-funded study finds strong evidence minors who try vapor products before or instead of #smoking, or have parents who switched to #vaping, are far less likely to smoke. Recommends getting parents to switch rather than focus on teen vaping.
