When ‘candy’ has hidden dangers for children


THEY look like candy or bubblegum and smell like strawberries, mango or other fruits. But these sweet little treats are actually vapes that are laced with nicotine and, in some cases, even drugs. And they are finding their way into the hands of children who are curious, pressured to take them or are simply unaware of the harm associated with them.

Experts warn that these substances when vaped or eaten can cause dizziness, confusion and long-term damage to brains that are still developing. Even one try can do real harm.
