We have breaking news about the first confirmed link between vaping and COVID in teens. 

According to a study published yesterday in the Journal of Adolescent Health by PAVe advisory board member Dr. Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford Medical School, teens who vape are five to seven times more likely to contract COVID.

Should it factor into back-to-school discussions? Please tune in to hear our interview with Dr. Halpern-Felsher and, most importantly, share this crucial information with your kids!
