New Lenox Parents Call For Action After Daughter Almost Dies Due To Vaping

Parents of a New Lenox teen are calling on state lawmakers to take action against the vaping industry after their daughter almost died. Ruby Johnson said her daughter Piper was hospitalized with a vaping-related lung illness last month while they drove from their southwest suburban home to the University of Northern Colorado. Piper has since recovered well enough to begin attending classes at the university. The parents said something needs to be done because vaping is grossly under regulated.
