school use catch my breath. so we have two very important organizations that work with us. first of all, the university of texas school of public health which actually developed the catch my breath program, so they're really the science behind the program. then we have cds health, who is our community and funding partner. cds has 10,000 retail outlets around the u.s. which makes them one of the largest chains, and they really have feet in every community in the u.s. they made tobacco control and particularly e-cigarette control a priority. so those two organizations work with us, and together we formed the catch my breath coalition. now, to answer your question about how big of a problem it is in middle schools, it's important to think first about the science. so everybody is born with nicotenic receptors in the brain. if those receptors are awarded at an early age, you can become very addicted to nicotine. more than you can become addicted to heroin, more than you can become addicted to opioids. if you reach the age of 25, they basically have become atrophied. so there is really nothing to becoming addicted to nicotine as an adult. s
