4 steps we must take to curb the exploitation of Generation Vape
"The vaping industry knows it must reach young, plastic minds if it is going to stay relevant as cigarettes have become less cool. Vaping has given them a new tool. It’s the reason they have been rolling out e-flavors — such as 'crème brûlée' or 'unicorn poop' — that sound more like something you would find in a candy store than a smoke shop. But the social cost of more teens being addicted to nicotine or cannabis because they started with vaping is far greater than we may realize."

Parenting Quotes
"I’m very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy early this morning, a very healthy boy. Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension."
