Kansas Leaders Vote to Stop Vaping in Public Schools

 

Kansas leaders are serious about stopping vaping in public schools as usage soars. With a unanimous vote yesterday, the Kansas State Board of Education, launch an anti-vaping campaign for what they say is a public health epidemic.

 

Local school boards are looking at amending student codes of conduct and district disciplinary policies to outline penalties for students caught vaping. The state board also agreed to formalize and expand an emergency task force to decrease the demand for the sweet-flavored alternative to smoking.

 

Kansas State Department of Education commissioner Randy Watson said the fact that about half of students in Kansas high schools are involved in vaping justifies an aggressive statewide response.
