Vaping among teens continues to climb, and there's no sign kids are quitting any time soon.Recent numbers reveal as many as 4 million American students are vaping, with the U.S. Surgeon General calling it an epidemic.The nation's top doctor issued a warning directly to parents last month, advising them to be on the lookout for vaping devices. "We have over 100 different flavors. Anywhere from something super fruity to something super sweet. Strawberries, bananas, Danishes, vanillas," said Jennifer Strand of Shop Vapes in Lake Park. With sweet and fruity flavors hitting the market, experts note the vaping trend is reaching more than its intended legal audience."Vape shops have always had strict rules, even before rules were set into place by the FDA. We don't want kids smoking e-cigs at all. Or regular cigarettes," said Strand. But despite well marked signs and clear warning labels, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said nearly 4 million students nationwide are vaping."This happened in November, I believe, of last year. You have to have the label warnings on two sides," said Strand.That means teens and tweens are getting hold of it somehow, and a local testing clinic said it's seeing the concern from parents firsthand. "Parents are afraid about their child's development. Nicotine or any drugs are always going to affect it and your brain development doesn't stop until age 25," said Alex Kasparek, owner of three Any Lab Test locations in Palm Beach County.The FDA said one vaping cartridge or pod contains about as much nicotine as a pack of 20 regular cigarettes.So while harsher rules get put into place, many say it starts at home."I think it's also parents. It's on them," said Strand.And that's exactly what Kasparek said parents are doing to crack down on this toxic trend. "Parents with a 12 year old coming in all the way to 15 or 16 years old. We can do blood, hair or urine tests and show you if your child was using nicotine in the last 24 hours all the way up to several months," said Kasparek.Instant tests are available, and prices start at $19.Kasparek said parents own the test results and they can use an anonymous name to protect their child. Most importantly, the results give parents and other loved ones answers so they can take next steps, if needed.If it seems extreme, the Centers for Disease Control said teens who vape are more likely than those who don't to go on to smoke burned cigarettes.
