Vaping has reached a crisis
stage and must be stopped
A message from the executive director of the
National Federation of State High School
Associations
Reprinted from September
11, 2019 by OSAAtoday
Staff, OSAAtoday
By Dr. Karissa L. Nie-
hoff, NFHS Executive
Director
The issue of vaping has
reached a crisis stage across
the United States, and lead-
ers in our nation’s schools
must take immediate steps
to stop the use of these
electronic cigarette prod-
ucts by our nation’s youth
– particularly the more than
12 million participants in
high school athletics and
performing arts programs.
On Tuesday, CBS News
reported that Kansas health
officials confirmed the first
death in that state linked
to vaping. The CBS News
release stated that last week,
officials in Indiana, Califor-
nia and Minnesota reported
deaths in their states linked
to vaping. Previous deaths
had been reported in Illinois
and Oregon.
Yesterday, the Asso-
ciated Press reported that
public health officials con-
firmed two people in Idaho
had developed a serious
lung disease linked to va-
ping. The outbreak of va-
ping-related lung disease
has sickened about 450
people in at least 33 states,
according to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), causing
the CDC to urge people to
consider stopping vaping
as the number of cases of
severe lung illnesses con-
tinues to rise.
In February 2019, the
CDC reported a 78 percent
increase in high school stu-
dents vaping from 2017 to
2018. Youth e-cigarette use
has been called an epidem-
ic by major public health
officials.
Students in our nation’s
schools have been sold
a false bill of goods that
vaping is a safe alternative
to cigarette smoking – par-
ticularly by industry giant
JUUL, which held a 76 per-
cent share of the e-cigarette
market at the end of 2018
and has wooed the youth
market with its products
that contain flavors such
as cotton candy, chocolate,
gummy bear, strawberry
and many others.
While the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration
(FDA) is giving e-cigarette
companies until sometime
next year to demonstrate
that their products can
help people stop smoking
cigarettes, leaders in our
nation’s school activities
programs must do every-
thing possible to stop the
use of these products by our
nation’s youth now – not in
2020.
One educational tool
that schools can use imme-
diately is the online course
“Understanding Vaping
and E-Cigarettes” created
by the NFHS with support
from the Office of the U.S.
Surgeon General. The free
course is available on the
NFHS Learning Center at
www.NFHSLearn.com.
Several articles related
to vaping will appear in the
September issue of High
School Today, which will
be posted this week on
the NFHS website (www.
NFHS.org).
Dr. Karissa L. Niehoff
is beginning her second
year as executive director
of the National Federa-
tion of State High School
Associations (NFHS) in
Indianapolis, Indiana. She
is the first female to head
the national leadership or-
ganization for high school
athletics and performing
arts activities and the sixth
full-time executive direc-
tor of the NFHS, which
celebrated its 100 th year of
service during the 2018-19
school year. She previously
was executive director of
the Connecticut Associa-
tion of Schools-Connecti-
cut Interscholastic Athletic
Conference for seven years.
