Just spoke to my nieces about vaping/e-cigs. Interestingly, they were ALL familiar with the products, most having been exposed at school. Parents, aunts, uncles, etc, PLEASE have a conversation this Xmas with your young people about e-cigs! #NoEcigs4Kids #LetKidsBreathe

Inspired by her own health struggles and lack of access to adequate care, Dr. #AntoniaNovello went on to break barriers in the medical field. Her work amid the #AIDS epidemic garnered international recognition as did her fight against the tobacco industry. #UnderTheRadar 💉🩺🔬
