Vaping, E-cigarettes and Electronic Smoking Devices - Dr. Richard Deming

This week we are joined by Dr. Richard Deming from MercyOne Des Moines Cancer Center to discuss the dangers of e-cigarettes and vaping, and the outbreak of severe lung disease associated with vaping.  Dr. Deming is also the founder of Above and Beyond Cancer, a public charity with a mission to elevate the lives of those touched by cancer, to create a healthier world. The group's journeys have led participants to places like Mount Everest Base Camp and the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.  November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and every year the American Cancer Society promotes the "Great American Smokeout" on November 21.
