Does your teen smoke an e-cigarette and tell you that "it is healthier than smoking cigarettes"? If so, you may want to read this article about the increased risk for students who smoke e-cigarettes to begin smoking tobacco. A quote from the article:

Volkow, M.D. "Parents and teens should recognize that although e-cigarettes might not have the same carcinogenic effects of regular cigarettes, they do carry a risk of addiction."
