GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Nationally certified tobacco addiction specialist Libby Stern says she’s seeing parents who need help to get their kids off vaping.
“Parents have asked questions about how to handle it,” Stern said of vaping. “They don’t know what to do. It’s one thing if your kids are smoking cigarettes, it’s obvious. But with these products, not necessarily.”
Stern, who works in Grand Rapids, supports the statewide ban that went into effect Wednesday prohibiting the sale of flavored nicotine vaping products. She believes the flavor is the first lure for teens and then the nicotine gets them hooked.
“It’s both, right? It’s the device, the devices are novel, it’s cool. Their friends are doing it and they want to be a part of that,” Stern explained.
