Teens to share their vaping experiences with Melania Trump

WASHINGTON – Melania Trump will hear directly from teens and young adults about their experiences with electronic cigarettes and vaping.

The White House says she has invited a group from the Truth Initiative to participate in a “listening session” Wednesday. It will be the second time this week that the first lady has highlighted e-cigarettes and vaping among youth.

Mrs. Trump used a speech Monday to call on companies to leave children out of marketing campaigns for e-cigarettes.

Scheduled to join her at Wednesday’s session are Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway.

The Truth Initiative says it’s the largest non-profit public health organization dedicated to achieving a culture where all youth and young adults reject tobacco.
