"Vaping is not safe... and if it is not safe for adults, it’s definitely not safe for children, so we ought to do something to make it less available to them" -Rep. Paul Ray makes a valid argument for legislation that limits access to vaping products.

Social media platforms like @instagram continue to play a tremendous role in hooking a new generation on #nicotine. Fight teen #addiction, lung injury, clinical depression and the #nicotine traps. #vaporized #quitbigtobacco #ditchjuul #makingakilling

@SPRORG Utah recently moved the legal tobacco age from 19 to 21! It has been a push in the state for a few of years, and a couple of our local areas passed it this year, followed by the state legislature. #PreventionScienceChat

@SPRORG @SPRORG Making sure prevention is a priority when the industry has paid lobbyists and can be more glamorous than public health (what??) and appeal to the free market ideals held by a lot of our local policy makers. #PreventionScienceChat

[Utah Valley Drug Prevention Coalition @UtahValleyDPC]

@SPRORG @SPRORG Michelle Swapp from @UtahValleyDPC. Advocating for prevention science is important, because a lot of people want to help through prevention, and we need to make sure they have the tools they need to actually be effective! #PreventionScienceChat
