An hour-long special, and two feature stories, about the twin vaping epidemics: the injuries and deaths spreading throughout the country connected to vaping and the longer-range explosion in teen addiction to nicotine, via vaping products.

But there's also a slower and more insidious crisis, as marketers target teens with flavored nicotine vaping cartridges, hooking a new generation on this byproduct of tobacco.
With support from our local health department in Sonoma County, California, we've created a special that families and classrooms can listen to together to understand the dangers of vaping, going far beyond the "just say no" platitudes of yesteryear.
