Vaping common in Moscow schools

NewImageI was scratching my head at this article. The law is treating these as if they were tobacco products. Most of the kids I’ve talked to that vape don’t have any nicotine in their juice. They do it for the flavor and the smoke not the buzz. 

I guess the government is now regulating propylene glycol.

Tobacco use forces SRO to push for harsher school district policies

Vaping is the No. 1 drug-related issue in the Moscow School District, and it has school officials considering stricter punishments for students.

While cigarettes were once the popular tobacco choice, McKenzie Fosberg, school resource officer for the district, said vaping appears to be filling that void and has become common at the Moscow high and middle schools.

In Idaho, it’s illegal for minors to possess a vape or consume tobacco. It’s also against district policy for drug paraphernalia – including vapes – to be on school grounds.

Any minor caught in possession of a vape can be cited and fined up to $74, Fosberg said. She said the vapes are also confiscated and destroyed.
