The following is one of the most important questions. Is there evidence that young people, who have traditionally started with tobacco products, are now starting with vaping products? We all have friends and family who have gone from smoking 15 cigarettes per day to vaping. That is a better evolution but the science says that these products could be just as harmful as tobacco, although that is another discussion. Is there evidence that young people aged between 13 and 17 are going straight to vaping products?
