Parents in Dubai want to know who's been selling vaping paraphernalia to their teenagers.

ARN News has learned that the use of e-cigarettes is rampant among young teens, and led to some students being suspended.

Dubai resident Mel says it's a big problem at her 14-year-old daughter's school.

Doctors say they've noticed a spike in the number of people vaping, especially among teenagers.
