We can&#8217;t afford to wait,\u00bb said the 42-year-old mother of seven, with Piper being the oldest. \u00abAnd it&#8217;s not <em>only <\/em>&#8216;illegal THC carts off the streets&#8217; as you may read in various places. Companies are not required to disclose their ingredients and chemicals that are deemed as &#8216;generally safe to eat&#8217; are being inhaled. They are getting our kids hooked on nicotine.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>And it is children who are the targets of the vaping industry, Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abThey are designed to look like USB flash drives or regular pens. Some even look like Apple Watches. Tiny little pods you can pop on, carts that contain THC, cute little refill bottles of gummy bear or blue raspberry liquid. The first e-cigarette hit the American market in 2007 and until 2016 any E-cig or ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery system) could freely enter the market without any pre-market approval.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The Johnsons&#8217; attorney, of Wise Law Offices LLC, said the family and all families should be outraged at the proliferation of these potentially deadly devices.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abAs some of you are aware, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, is investigating a national outbreak of severe lung disease that has resulted in over 225 cases across 25 states, and has resulted in two deaths, one of which has occurred in Illinois.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>\u00abOur primary concern is that the E-cigarette makers like Juul are taking a page out of Big Tobacco&#8217;s playbook by targeting our children, resulting in a terrifying increase in teen smoking.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The CDC has confirmed that from 2017 to 2018, e-cigarette use has increased nearly 80% among high schoolers and 50% among middle school students.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abMake no misstate, E-cigarette makers have targeted children by making their product easier to conceal from parents and easier for kids to consume then traditional cigarettes,\u00bb continued. \u00abThe e-cigarette cartridges look like USB or thumb drives, pens or even Apple Watches. E-cigarettes are also made in flavors like mango, fruit punch and mint flavors so they no longer have the harsh taste of cigarettes that used to deter teenagers from smoking. Finally, e-cigarettes provide 35% more nicotine than your average cigarette so our children are becoming addicted faster than ever before.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Ruby Johnson issued this plaintive appeal to other parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abWe hope that our daughter&#8217;s life-threatening ordeal can serve as a warning to parents and teens alike,\u00bb Johnson said. \u00abVaping is dangerous and can kill you.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Piper Johnson became Colorado&#8217;s first confirmed case of what authorities called a \u00absudden and severe lung illness due to vaping.\u00bb She spent a week in the hospital and is now a freshman at Northern Colorado University.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information, call <\/em><em>John Gorman at <a href=\"tel:+1-312-315-2662\">312-315-2662<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Article-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Article image\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Article-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Article images\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press release Sept. 5, 2019 How does a healthy 18-year-old go from a joyful trip to begin college to the ICU on death&#8217;s door? \u00abVaping,\u00bb emphatically declares the mother of a New Lenox teenager.
