The CDC is urging everyone to stop using e-cigarettes.

According to the CDC, however, rates of tobacco use are rising among America's youth. Last year, 4.9 million middle- and high school students used tobacco, an increase from 3.6 million in 2017.

Dr. Lyle R. Petersen, director of the division of vector-borne infectious diseases at the CDC, says the arrival of Hurricane Isaac may actually help contain the outbreak. He explains that such storms disturb the ecology of the area and interrupt the transmission cycle between birds and mosquitoes.
