If you’re an older aged adult, you remember the days when kids would sneak smoking cigarettes in the bathrooms at school or out on the school grounds.
If you’re middle aged adult, you remember when kids would sneak behind buildings on the high school campus to smoke pot.
And if you’re the adult of a high school kid today, you’re very likely familiar with stories you are hearing from your son or daughter about school bathrooms and hangouts at the edge of school campuses being places now where vaping is going on.
How things that change seem to sometimes stay the same.But when it comes to vaping and e-cigarettes, maybe things are changing.
Just look what’s happened this week alone.
The San Diego Unified School District and other school districts in California are filing lawsuits against JUUL, the largest maker of e-cigarettes.The district’s superintendent saying vaping is affecting normal operations at schools and the learning environment.
San Diego Supervisors are about to take steps to crack down on flavored tobacco products in the county.
And the national Centers for Disease Control and local health officials announcing a growing number of vaping-related illnesses and deaths across the country, calling it a public health crisis.
Few will argue, especially the parents of kids and young people who are vaping.
