Schools across the Mid West are worried about their student's who are va**ng and engaging in e-ciggarettes.
Do teachers and parents know what the children are smoking or who supplied them?
Do teachers and parents know how many adolescents have a psychotic episode after using HHC or Spice through va**ng?
