Imagine all the snacks and treats you could buy with the money it costs to vape. We would much rather spend our money on tons of snacks than on a nicotine addiction. Choose #ThisNotThat and choose to live your life tobacco-free. #ThisNotThatThursday #LiveTheLife #LiveTobaccoFree

E-cigarettes are more popular in Texas high schools than regular #cigarettes. In 2017, 10.3% of Texas high school students were current users of #ecigarettes, vs 7.4 % who smoked regular cigarettes. Why e-cigarettes are harmful to our youth: https://t.co/4li7OpJFZn #txlege
