Hawaiʻi health officials are sounding the alarm about what they see as a dangerous trend among local teenagers: Vaping – using Electronic Cigarettes. Studies show that 42% of high school students and 27% of middle school students statewide have tried e-cigarettes. Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, and officials worry vaping will create a new generation of nicotine addicts.
