Vaping has been used as an alternative to smoking and it's being promoted as a "healthier choice." Vaping is still being studied as there is much to learn about the side effects. One of the concerns is vaping among adolescents.  The Illinois Department of Public Health is investigating three young people that were hospitalized after severe breathing problems from vaping. Melaney Arnold, is the public information officer for the IDPH and she explains just what the IDPH is investigating.

Arnold says that they are concerned about a lack of brain development associated vaping.

Arnold says if you vape and experience any chest pains to seek medical emergency attention. In Wisconsin, 11 teenagers are confirmed having vaping lung damage and 7 more cases that they are investigating.
