Description
When our policy doesn’t protect us, we need to take on more responsibility in our aim to stay healthy. With the US allowing its youth to fall prey to predatory marketing and selling tactics by a company with a critically damaging product, we’re now enduring the need to protect our own kids and future. Luckily, we have Meredith Berkman, a co-founder of Parents Against Vaping e-cigarettes, or PAVe, her to help us do exactly that: to pave the way to protecting our young peoples’ health and wellbeing as the powers that be haven’t done so. Even if you don’t have a young person you’re close to, this story hits home hard on our need to be alert and agile consumers and citizens.
