"It’s a rollercoaster of emotions" As a school nurse, Beth sees the toll vaping takes on her students and their #MentalHealth every day. Once hooked on nicotine, the effects hit hard when they don’t have it in their system. If someone you know is trying to quit vaping, be the support they need.

I hate forest fires generally, but... since the pandemic is feel weepingingly sad about them. I think its because we first got N95s finally in the late summer/fall (was it Aug? Sept? it was a blur) not because our lives depended on them but because patients were c/o the smoke smell in the hospital.
