In 2019, vaping became a crisis in the United States, as thousands experienced severe lung injuries and dozens died after vaping black market products.

2,200 people have been sickened and 47 have died from

using black market vaping products (as of November 20, 2019) But there's also a slower and more insidious crisis, as marketers target teens with flavored nicotine vaping cartridges, hooking a new generation on this by-product of tobacco.

e-cigarette use has skyrocketed among teens, with one in

four high school seniors nationwide saying they vaped in the last month. Most young people are unaware of the short and long-term

health impacts of vaping!

In an hour-long special, KRCB-FM Northern California Public Media talks with high school administrators, health professionals and students to investigate the vaping epidemic.

WXXI-HD Road Trip Nation: The Next Mission airs 3/21 at 5 a.m. - https://www.pbs.org/video/roadtrip-nation-next-mission/ - ROADTRIP NATION: THE NEXT MISSION follows three recent veterans - Sam Shockley, Helen Chandler and Bernard Edwards - as they journey cross-country to seek out fellow service members who have successfully transitioned into the workforce, and to obtain the insights they need to thrive in the next chapter of their own lives. 2 Sides Project airs 3/25 at 1 a.m. - https://www.pbs.org/video/the-2-sides-project-ncugi4/ - THE 2 SIDES PROJECT follows the unforgettable journey of six U.S. sons and daughters as they discover a country and a people with whom they share a common history. Over 11 days in December 2015, American and Vietnamese sons and daughters-who had all lost fathers on opposite sides of the war held the first-ever formal meetings. The film captures the entire story, not just the transformative two sides encounters, but the profoundly moving experiences these Americans had while visiting the sites where their fathers died, and the powerful encounters they had with the country itself. The film focuses on the aftermath of the Vietnam War, and provides a unique complement to the Ken Burns series on the war.

Cyrano de Bergerac

3/15 at noon

3/17 at 6 p.m.

Slay the Dragon shines a light on gerrymandering— this timely issue, and follows a handful of citizens’ groups, outraged by what they see as an attack on the core democratic principle that every person’s vote should count equally, as they battle party operatives and an entrenched political establishment to fix a broken system.

James McAvoy (X-Men, Atonement) returns to the stage in an inventive new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, broadcast live to cinemas from the West End in London. Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all - if only he could win the heart of his true love Roxane. There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Will a society engulfed by narcissism get the better of Cyrano - or can his mastery of language set Roxane’s world alight?

Edmond Rostand’s masterwork is adapted by Martin Crimp, with direction by Jamie Lloyd (Betrayal). This classic play will be brought to life with linguistic ingenuity to celebrate Cyrano’s powerful and resonant resistance against overwhelming odds.

Host Julis Figueras welcomes Grammy-winner Jason Vieaux, “among the elite of today’s classical guitarists” (Gramophone), the guitarist that goes beyond the classical to the WXXI Studies. Recently featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert with harpist Yolanda Kondonassis, NPR describes Vieaux as “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation”
