WCC's Miss Debbie at the Keep MI Kids Tobacco Free event in Lansing
Parents, advocates push for ban on flavored tobacco products
From feeling comfortable buying in-store to being able to purchase online, a concerned Mid-Michigan parent, who chose to stay anonymous, recently brought an online vape seller website to News 10′s attention after her 7th-grader purchased a vape product with no required age verification.
After showing the website to parent advocate Debbie Wertz, she was in disbelief.
“How is that legal?” she said. “I just — how is this not being mandated.”
