According to NBC4i.com, the state has created a budget for where they want the money to go. A little over$3 million will be used to create and promote resources that community groups and organizations can use to teach youth and others about the risks of vaping.
They have put aside $800,000 that will pay for public education campaigns geared towards young people and parents. Its intention is to educate the public on vaping and a law taking effect next month that raises the smoking age to 21.
Federal health officials say they are looking into more than 450 possible cases in 33 states.
