NY’s AG suit claims JUUL used Big Tobacco’s playbook to market, sell e-cigarettes to youth; misrepresent safety, nicotine content, and therapeutic value. JUUL’s marketing resembles Big Tobacco’s tactics of targeting youth and making dubious health claims. https://t.co/Ot9Dm0mCQy

E-cigarette, Juul use among youth is rampant; evidence shows youth who vape are more likely to start smoking cigarettes. In this NPR piece one young man who uses cigarettes AND Juul says the prospect of getting lung cancer from his addiction terrifies him. https://t.co/lzjh2hyWuv

It's my first week as the #RealityCheck coordinator for Glens Falls Hospital, and I loved getting to the Safe Spring event at @SkidmoreCollege to meet some students and ask them questions about tobacco to win prizes! --Gretchen
