DISCUSSION
While Breathe California is providing education to youth and helping them quit their addiction to nicotine, youth also need information about what vaping and vapes are, the amount of nicotine delivered, and the harmful health effects of the devices. The Youth Commission will receive a presentation by Breathe California and have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the topic.
