Teen vaping is becoming a crisis in Florida. That's according to health and law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County.
Riviera Beach Police Chief Michael Coleman calls it a 'tipping point,' saying that his officers are regularly encountering kids who are in possession and unaware that it is a crime or that the vape they're carrying could contain more than nicotine.
He says that some have been found with TCH and even fentanyl.
The School District reports a couple of thousand vaping-related discipline incidents each school year, with the devices being found in school bathrooms and backpacks.
District officials say it's a statewide issue with close to 17 percent Florida students reporting that they used a vape during the last school year.
