In this episode, we’re going to find out what teens are really saying when it comes to vaping. What’s happening at school? In sports? How can you make the right decisions? Three young leaders discuss their experiences with vaping, and we hear from Christin D'Ovdio from the Save Your Breathe NH campaign on how to change the message youth are seeing about vaping.
