seignsout.d behind every sign is someone's story. our job, see the signs. earn your trust. be an ally where you live. we do more than cover local news. at abc >> this is the "california spotlight," sponsored by the california department of public health. >> hello there. today's "california spotlight" is shining brightly on the topic of flavored tobacco. joining me today to discuss the concerns the california department of public health has about these products for our youth is dr. pam ling. good to see you. thanks for being here and for discussing what really is an important topic. now, in california, you have to be 21 years old to purchase tobacco products, so just how is it that our teens are getting their hands on these products, and why is it seemingly so easy? >> well, flavored tobacco is available in basically any convenience store or corner store, and if a kid goes into a store all the time, they get to
9:55 am
know the owner. sometimes they can still purchase a product even though they're not 21. the internet is also an incredibly easy way for kids to buy tobacco products. so they can order it on their phone, and 94% of kids who try to buy tobacco on the internet are able to do so. >> dr. ling, why does the california department of public health think that these products are so appealing to teenagers and young people? >> well, the products are appealing for a couple of reasons. one is definitely the flavors because kids are curious about the flavors, and if you're used to eating candy and then you see a product that's flavored like gummy bears, you know, kids are going to want to use it. that's one concern. the second concern is actually the products really don't look like cigarettes, right? they look like usb ports, they look like pens, and so kids don't have the same kind of association that -- you know, kids know that you shouldn't smoke cigarettes, but this looks totally different. so if i handed you this and said, "take a pull on that -- it taste like mango flavor," or --
9:56 am
[laughs] you know? what would you do? >> you would literally have no idea. i mean, you would hand me this, and i'd think, "stick it in my computer." >> that's right. and that is what makes it easy for kids not only to use it but to use it in places and conceal it from their teachers, their principal, and their parents. >> so, what are the biggest health risks associated with these products, according to the department of public health? >> some of it we're just learning because they're new on the market. what we do know is that the products contain nicotine, nicotine is addictive, and the younger you start using nicotine, the more likely it is that you're gonna go on to become addicted to it. that's a problem. nicotine changes your brain. your brain wants nicotine from that time on. >> so, i think we had an important conversation back in the day about, "don't smoke cigarettes." seems like it's time to have a new type of conversation. as a doctor, how do you recommend parents approach their children about this subject? >> right. well, this is a tough one because you're right -- these
9:57 am
are new products, and it's not the same message as before. so we already know in california that, if your home is smoke-free, people are less likely to smoke and it helps smokers quit smoking. you can make your home smoke- and vape-free. you also need to listen to your kids, find out what they're doing, find out what's going on in school. you want to do probably more listening than lecturing, which is hard for parents, but something to do. >> the key is to have a conversation, not so much a lecture. >> talk to them about nicotine. i think a lot of kids don't realize that these products contain nicotine and it's not just flavor. and parents can also say, "you know, what's being done in my community to keep these out of my kids' hands?" all across california, communities are passing ordinances to say, "you can't sell these in convenience stores near schools." you know, we need to make it at least so parents have a fighting chance to keep the products out of their kids' hands, because you can't police your kids all the time. >> no, and you can also lead by example. i think that's important, too. dr. pam ling, thank you so much.
9:58 am
i think we've all learned a lot about the risks for teens involved with these products. remember, if you'd like more information on anything we've discussed in today's "california spotlight," you can go to flavorshookkids.org. flavorshookkids.org, right? >> that's right. >> there you go. thanks so much for watching us. i'll see you next time. >> the "california spotlight" is sponsored by the california department of public health. i am extremely proud of jackie, gaby and stephanie. we worked with pg&e to save energy because we wanted to help the school. they would put these signs on the door to let the teacher know you didn't cut off the light. the teachers, they would call us the energy patrol. so they would be like, here they come, turn off your lights! those three young ladies were teaching the whole school about energy efficiency. we actually saved $50,000. and that's just one school, two semesters, three girls. together, we're building a better california.
