After years of steady decline, use, nicotine use has suddenly reversed course, seemingly overnight. Between 2017 and 2018, a youth ecigarette use also known as vaping, rose 78 in one year to the point where over 20 of High School Students now vape. The lingering question is why and what was the role of jewel, the countrys dominant maker of ecigarettes with almost 80 of ecigarette market share in the dramatic rise in vaping . The panel assembled today will help us address these questions and frame our discussion for part two of this hearing here tomorrow at 2 p. M. When jewel founder will testify.

Let s get over to meteorologist Danny Treanor. Danny . Dan you summarized it perfectly. We have a chill in the air right now but don t expect to see a lot of sunshine today because we have things trying to creep into our weather afternoon.
