First lady Melania Trump says she is worried about the 'growing epidemic' of e-cigarette use among US adolescents and teens.
In a tweet on Monday afternoon, she called for action to fight 'nicotine addiction', but didn't mention any specific plans.
'I am deeply concerned about the growing epidemic of e-cigarette use in our children,' she tweeted.
'We need to do all we can to protect the public from tobacco-related disease and death, and prevent e-cigarettes from becoming an on-ramp to nicotine addiction for a generation of youth.'

And another ping!
To the First Lady's List.
Aren’t most of these people vaping marijuana or other things instead of tobacco? Marijuana good! Tobacco bad! Didn’t the NAZIS ban smoking tobacco? F them.
BINGO!
I was on a bike trail a guy was walking in front of me and when he exhaled I thought there was a forest fire coming out of him.
Is the problem with the act of vaping, the substance being vaped..both?
I don’t smoke so I am biased. But I don’t see how a smoker (who already knows it’s bad) thinks all of that smoke coming out of them is better than regular smoke.
And no, not everyone is doing to smoke weed
E-cigarettes are drug deliver devices.
I truly think it was stupid to let the whole vaping industry get started as we were trying to shut down smoking. Now it needs to be stopped. Stupid.

CBD oil, marijuana extract, bootleg sales off the street, <18 yrs old vaping, they have run story after story with bits and pieces intentionally, I think that the vitamin E in the CBD juice is at a higher level, one so called Dr. On NBC said “could cause” five times, obviously the Democrats know that a 50% tax will cure them.

5 years off cigs, hang in there you can quit, after you ditch the cigs, slowly reduce the nicotine level in your juice. Good luck
You'll look so cool at the gaming table.
It’s not about being offended. Its about knowing what dying from lung cancer is like and I don’t want that crap in my lungs.
As someone posted on another thread, if people smoked cigarettes the way these kids are using e-cigs, they’d die.
E-cigarettes are a useful product for many people trying to quit the real thing. Those people aren’t using them the way these stupid kids are.
I’ve watched these people do this. They take more puffs off of one of those things than a conventional tobacco smoker takes of of a cigarette. I feel no more sympathy for someone like this harming their own health than I do a drug addict or tobacco smoker.
