Whereas there is an epidemic of vaping amongst our adolescents and young adults, with more than 25% of high school students reporting vaping in the past 30 days, and
Whereas nicotine is highly addicting, often leading to a lifetime addiction, and this drug has been shown to be harmful to developing adolescent and young adult brains, and
Whereas vaping THC and other substances using refillable cartridges and e cigarettes has led to a secondary epidemic of hundreds of reported vaping related lung illnesses, causing respiratory failure and death;
The undersigned call for the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to institute an immediate ban within Santa Barbara County, of e-cigarettes, vaping devices and the cartridges used with those devices.
only reason im signing this is to post my DISAPPROVAL of a ban because vaping is MEDICALLY PROVEN to have MUCH less toxins than regular tobacco products. The problem is not vaping, its being LAZY PARENTS !! In other words, you cant control your kids, so you get the government to do it for you. Or you are just pushing your love of soviet culture.
