Vapes, an alarming concern for the schools

Alarming is how the Oconee School District newsletter describes vaping by middle and high school students.  Although vapes are primarily an issue with students of an older age, vapes have been confiscated from students in Oconee’s elementary schools.  The newsletter defines a vape as an electronic cigarette, a device that heats up a liquid to create a vapor that is inhaled.  Vapes can contain nicotine, THC (the chemical in marijuana), and other drugs.
