Ohio lawmaker mocked on social media after tweet telling teens ‘vaping isn’t fleek’

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) was roasted on Twitter on Tuesday after posting a message warning her teen constituents about the dangers of e-cigarettes.

“Hey teens! Vaping isn’t fleek or fire, that’s why the State of Ohio launched #MyLifeMyQuit to show you that you don’t need fat clouds to be radical!” the lawmaker tweeted.

Beatty responded Tuesday evening, tweeting, “Thanks for all the tweets and RTs because vaping is definitely not cool— and faaaaar from ‘radical.'”

Last year, Surgeon General Jerome Adams issued an advisory declaring youth vaping an epidemic.

My Life My Quit was launched last week in Ohio and eight other states to help teens get free, confidential help quitting tobacco products, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
