Driving after drinking is deadly, but it STILL happens all across the U.S. If you choose to drive while impaired, you’ll get arrested, or worse, be involved in a traffic crash that causes serious injury or death.

Top e-cigarette maker CEOs were in the hot seat today at a hearing on Capitol Hill and @truthorange youth activists were also there to remind everyone that current federal policies are not enough to stop the youth e-cig epidemic. https://t.co/idv1UAzvCW via @stephebbs #DITCHVAPE

9th graders say a JUUL rep went into their classroom as part of a mental health and addiction seminar and told them that JUULs are "totally safe" https://t.co/trLOzdDzT6

"Some 21% of women and 23% of men experienced harm because of someone else’s drinking. These harms included threats or harassment, vandalism, physical aggression, harms related to driving, or financial or family problems." @argphi

With an #opioidepidemic that has taken the lives of so many New Jerseyans, we can’t just be good implementers of old ideas.

We have to innovate.

Buprenorphine is already in the community to stem withdrawal. NJ paramedics can now use it right after naloxone for the same purpose.

7: Vapes are poorly regulated/lower standards than other electronics. Cheap batteries and materials increase risk for malfunction and explosions.

8: Last, where they explode matters. They are most likely to explode during use, causing facial injury.

5: Vapes are often compact: This means the battery has difficulty cooling off, but also that when it explodes the vape itself explodes more violently (less room for energy to dissipate)

6: Vapes are made with many metal elements, which create shrapnel
