A local anti-substance abuse youth group is applauding an initiative by the governor to prevent the purchase and use of vaping products by kids. Rock County Youth-2-Youth Director Deb Fischer says vaping has quite an allure for young people. Fischer says the look is very cool and kids are enticed by new things. Fischer says any investment in prevention is good to help youth know the risks and make better choices. The governor’s agenda includes strengthening enforcement measures to prevent the sale of vaping products to kids, bolsters partnerships with public health officials and local school districts, and promotes public education on the potential risks and hazards associated with the use of e-cigarettes.
