TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – Fifteen of Brevard’s Student Government Leaders traveled to the state capitol last week to discuss the challenges kids are facing with vaping. 

They met with some 14 legislators to share their concerns about the epidemic that is sweeping school campuses, not just in Brevard County but across the nation.

Students are advocating for the passage of Senate Bill 694, which would put greater restrictions on electronic smoking devices and other tobacco products.
