Montgomery County Health Department Launches 'No Vape November' to Combat Youth Vaping Epidemic

Montgomery County Health Department Launches 'No Vape November' to Combat Youth Vaping Epidemic

The Montgomery County Health Department in Clarksville, Tennessee, has initiated 'No Vape November,' a campaign designed to raise public awareness about the youth vaping epidemic in the state and to promote available resources for prevention and cessation. According to Director Joey Smith, tobacco use remains a leading cause of death in Tennessee, and this initiative aims to empower the current generation to end nicotine addiction. The U.S. Surgeon General has declared youth e-cigarette use an epidemic, with a 2022 study by the FDA and CDC estimating that over 2.5 million U.S. middle and high school students currently use electronic cigarettes. In Tennessee specifically, nearly one in five high school students reported vaping within the past 30 days. The Tennessee Department of Health, through its TNSTRONG program, has provided 'No Vape November' toolkits to local health departments to support these efforts.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee Announces BWXT Expansion, $714.5 Million Investment in Washington County for National Security

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, Deputy Governor and Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter, and BWXT officials have announced an agreement supporting the expansion of BWXT’s facility in Washington County. This expansion involves a $714.5 million investment in Jonesborough, Tennessee, to produce High Purity Depleted Uranium (HPDU) metal for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The project is expected to create 181 new jobs, more than doubling BWXT's current local workforce. This initiative is supported by an economic development grant from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD). In September 2025, NNSA awarded BWXT a 10-year contract valued at $1.6 billion to build an HPDU manufacturing plant at its Jonesborough site, which, once completed, will be the sole active site for this critical process for the government.
