Fox News:美国正努力克服电子烟危机(2)

Yeah, it's been tracked to a lot of the illegal devices because they're not regulated. That's why we're calling for regulation. We're calling for more states to legalize. And actually there was a landmark study done earlier this year by four universities and it shows teen use is going down for cannabis only in states that have legalized, down eight or nine percent in those states. So what we're seeing is an opposite effect. States that are legalizing and regulating and keeping kids away from cannabis are actually having more positive impact on the teen use statistics. All right. That's a very interesting statistic. But the illegal vaporizers. They don't -- they don't check I.D. in the illegal market. Yeah. The street dealers aren't checking for I.D. That's the biggest problem. Well, from 20 -- Yeah. -- 2017 to 2018, increase in vaping, 78 percent increase in current e-cigarette use among high school students. That's for nicotine. Forty-eight percent -- for nicotine -- 48 percent among middle school students. That's alarming. Yeah. That's terrible. And that's all for nicotine. 

Those are -- that's why the president is taking action, because those numbers are so alarming. And the cannabis industry is taking note. But we would say -- would you say that THC is not safe for children? That they should not be vaping THC? Absolutely not. No adults under the age of 21 should be vaping any THC products or even consuming the THC products. And we are glad that the states that have implemented programs have really enforced that and they've upheld that age limit to a very high degree. All right. Top trend in Washington is definitely in favor of some regulation here, so we'll see. And a lot of adults don't like, you know -- Yeah. -- their rights infringed on either in some of these cases as well. So, I got to go. Well, the reality is the only way we are gonna make progress is through regulation. We need to regulate this better. Thanks, Nick. Good to have you here tonight. Thank you for having me.
