BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Two-thirds of New York State healthcare professionals believe we are experiencing a youth vaping epidemic.
That is the headline of a new survey conducted by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo for the New York State Quitline which surveyed 2,562 healthcare professionals.
“We reached out to a variety of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and respiratory therapists and the results were really the same across the board,” said Tony Astran, Public Relations and Communications Manager for New York State Quitline.
“There is always going to be that element of wanting to be rebellious, wanting to do something to fit in, relax and distress, but there are other ways to do it,” said Astran, adding that the New York Quitline offers a variety of resources for people of all ages looking to quit.
