    State Rep. Fishbein Brought Together Panel for Discussion on Youth Vaping

    State Representative Craig Fishbein (R-90) this week brought industry experts, medical professionals, community leaders, school officials and a student representative to the Ulbrich Boys and Girls Club for  a panel discussion regarding the youth vaping crisis.

    Panelists included:

    Trisha Dahl, senior Research Assistant at Yale University School of Medicine

    Craig Turner, Director of Wallingford Youth & Social Services

    Connecticut State Police Trooper Kate Cummings

    Ken Welch, President of the Coalition for a Better Wallingford

    Wallingford Superintendent of Schools Salvatore Menzo

    Sheehan High School Senior Kris Jackson

    Steven Civitelli, Wallingford Health Director

    Carlos Collazo, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club

    The increase in youth vaping is nearing crisis levels and it’s important for every community to have the most up-to-date facts regarding these devices and the potential harm they’re causing. As medical professionals and scientists learn more about the long-term effects of these products it is important to take a cautionary approach, increase educational outreach, especially to teens and young adults, and strongly urge people not to vape.
