A second Kansan has died from complications related to vaping. Kansas currently has nine vaping related cases, including the two deaths. In response to the health issue, Governor Laura Kelly has instructed the head of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Les Norman to combat the E-cigarette epidemic. He was chosen to testify before congress concerning the effects of E-cigarettes, and will testify in front of the United States House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations subcommittee tomorrow. Also, the KDHE and the Kansas Department of Education have partnered to develop a vape-free schools kit. Schools are urged to adopt the kit and parents and caretakers are encouraged to have conversations with their children about E-cigarettes and vaping.
