## Resource

Most vapes being sold in the U.S. could be illegal. The vapes come from China and are marketed to kids with candy-like flavors. Parents and policymakers on both sides of the aisle are calling for tougher enforcement. Emily Stack, Executive Director of Moms for America Action, joins Newell to discuss what needs to be done to stop these illegal vape sales in American communities and why the issue could draw renewed attention in the coming weeks as President Trump prepares for his trip to China.
