Going to show you some of the recent debate in congress and at the white house on the issue of vaping and underage use of ecigarettes. We are joined by andrew siddons, who covers health care for cq roll call. Tell us why the issue of underage vaping became a bigger issue in 2019. Andrew i think it was a combination of factors that really drove this to the front of the policy debate this year. One was just the year over year increases in the number of teens who are reporting ecigarette use.
