In spite of the health risks, vaping among teens continues to grow in popularity. A recent survey found that twice as many high school students used nicotine vapor products in 2018 compared with the previous year.

I recently supported bills that would limit access to vaping devices and products. Senate Bills 106 and 155 would prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes and alternative vapor products to minors and prohibit minors from buying or using these products. Under the legislation, violators would be subject to fines and penalties. In addition, retailers would be required to display signs explaining the law and to ask for identification.

The bills have been referred to the House Committee on Judiciary.

Congratulations to my alma mater, Unity Christian High School, for their boys basketball team winning their first title in school history.

Unity also brought home state titles in soccer and football this year! According to the Michigan High School Athletic Association, it's the first time a single school has won state championships for those three sports in the same year! Congratulations to the students, coaches and parents on this historic achievement!
