Still, many e-cigarette flavored liquids remain available in the United States today, fueling what health experts call a vaping epidemic.\u00a0\u00a0Last month New York state attorney general Letitia James filed suit against 13 manufacturers, distributors and retailers of vape devices, accusing them of targeting young people with a highly addictive product that she said is causing a public health crisis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
