A new community project in Garrett County has joined forces with Engage Mountain Maryland to address an alarming trend in underage vaping. Parents and educators are increasingly worried by the visible surge in nicotine addiction among children, some of whom are just 10 years old.

Idaho’s trustees have rung the alarm about the growing epidemic of teen vaping, urging state legislators to take immediate action. The current tobacco tax law, written in 1974, does not address electronic cigarettes—leaving a vital public health gap unaddressed. Trustees believe updating this statute will be a crucial step in preventing further misuse of vaping products.
