Doctors are warning that vaping remains popular among teens and even younger children, with devices disguised as pens or flash drives and flavors mimicking candy, fruit, and mint. They emphasize that nicotine addiction often begins early and that flavored e‑cigarettes are specifically marketed to minors, citing a lawsuit by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison against Loon e‑cigarette manufacturers. The experts advise parents to educate themselves about nicotine products and to have open conversations with their children about the health risks of vaping, noting that early exposure can lead to lifelong smoking.
