TUESDAY, December 18, 2018 (NBC)—Teen vaping has become a significant public health threat, the Surgeon General said Tuesday, and an all-hands-on-deck response is needed to fight it.

Dr. Jerome Adams released a rare Surgeon General’s advisory calling teen e-cigarette use an epidemic and calling for “aggressive steps” to fight it, including age limits, taxes and restricted sales.
