Costs to Society with Tobacco and Nicotine Use
The US spends more than $300 billion a year, including: Est. $170 billion in direct medical care for adults & more than $156 billion in lost productivity
A person smoking one pack of cigarettes a day will spend about $2,415.60 a year on the habit. Two packs = $5,000
Selling nicotine/tobaccoproducts to minors is illegal. Using tobacco/nicotine at school can lead to suspension or expulsion.
Do you think e-cigarettes/vape pens create a vapor, a gas, or aerosol?
It’s an Aerosol, Not a Vapor
