As kids head #BacktoSchool, e-cigarette makers continue to flood the market with kid-friendly products that deliver massive doses of nicotine. Our President & CEO Yolonda Richardson joined American Academy of Pediatrics’ Dr. Jose Cucalon Calderon in a cross-country media tour to discuss this problem and the urgent need for FDA action. Join us in calling for the FDA to remove illegal e-cigarettes from the market at tfk.org/illegal-ecigs

With back to school in full swing for many students that campaign for tobacco, Free Kids is raising awareness about the dangers of vaping. They're warning parents that early use puts kids at serious risk for a lifetime of addiction, and that parents need to be on the lookout for products they say are praying on children. Well, the industry that spends literally billions of dollars to addict kids, they have to create a new generation of addicts. So kids are the target and they bring kids and lure kids in with flavors. So you will see on these products all kinds of flavors that are primarily attracted to kids, bubble gum, cotton candy, lemonade. They're saying also pushing the FDA to remove these products from the market that don't have flavors to entice children.

Associate Professor of Pediatrics at The University of Nevada, Reno

🚨🦷 😰 Beware Parents! Teething Troubles Can Turn Treacherous! 🦷👶 Teething, a rite of passage for all infants and children, can be a distressing ordeal. As parents and caregivers, our instinct is to alleviate our child’s discomfort. However, the path to relief may be fraught with danger. Many are tempted to soothe their child’s gums with prescription or over-the-counter medicines containing benzocaine or lidocaine, or even homeopathic tablets. These may seem like viable solutions, but beware! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued stern warnings about these products. They pose a serious risk to children, potentially leading to grave injuries, and in extreme cases, even death. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advocates for safer alternatives to treat teething pain. Simple remedies such as rubbing your infant’s gums with a clean finger, or providing a firm rubber teething ring to chew on, can be effective. 👉📝👈 Remember, when it comes to your child’s health, it’s always better to be safe than sorry!
