In this week’s episode, PAVe Maryland mom Donna speaks with remarkable candor about the painful discovery that her teenage son Jacob--an honor student and star athlete--had become dependent on flavored e-cigarettes and was severely addicted to nicotine. As her son’s grades plummeted and he developed respiratory problems, Donna pledged to help Jacob fight his addiction, mobilizing support from Jacob’s school, her family’s church, and even Jacob’s friends.
As a PAVe advocate, Donna has joined a supportive community of parents using their powerful voices to push for banning flavored e-cigarettes in cities and states across the country--and fighting to keep Big Tobacco away from our kids.
