In reading “Teens Voice New Fears on Vaping” (Health & Wellness, Oct. 8), I was struck by the blame placed on teens for the continuing vaping epidemic. To say that teens ignored our advice is to discredit the growth and development that all teenagers should be afforded. It removes the blame from the adults who are supposed to protect those teens. The American Academy of Pediatrics first put out a response to electronic nicotine-delivery systems in 2015 recommending that vaping devices not be advertised to children. As a society, we didn’t act.
