New York, February 4 (RHC)-- In health news, the American Lung Association says in a new report the government is failing to protect minors from the dangers of e-cigarettes and tobacco.  The group gave an “F” grade to the Food and Drug Administration for failing to act as the rate of e-cigarette use among high school students shot up by nearly 80 percent over the past two years. 

The report warns that e-cigarettes contain levels of nicotine that could cause addiction and affect brain development in young people.  Meanwhile, a study published in a medical journal found that vaping is almost two times as effective as nicotine gum or patches for quitting smoking.
