I have a question.

As some of you know, some statistics leave me wondering.  On the morning news today I learned that there has been "an alarming spike in teen vaping since e-cigarettes came out."  Now I am not denying the dangers of vaping.  I don't think any kind 'smoking' is good for a person.  What I'm questioning is the statistic.  Vaping, by definition, according to Google, is "the action or practice of inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device."  Instead of an "alarming spike" I'm pretty sure there has been a one hundred percent increase.  It's a little like saying there has been a huge spike in the number of teen snow boarders since the snow board was invented.
