SISD cracks down on student vaping with new detectors Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – On top of all other issues that school districts face year after year, there is yet another relatively new but rapidly growing problem –– vaping. Vaping, which utilizes a handheld electronic device to “breathe a mist (vapor) into the lungs,” continues to grow among youth in local schools and campuses across the nation. Terms associated with vaping include things such as e-cigarettes or vape pens. Originally promoted to help smokers transition away from traditional cigarettes, vape pens with alluring flavors such as strawberry kiwi or blue razz lemonade are making their way into the hands of kids as young as 11 years old. Over the last 10 years, vaping or inhaling nicotine and sometimes other drugs has been the new fad reported among kids. Kids possessing and using vape pens in schools have also become serious issues for districts everywhere. In the Seguin ISD, however, enough is enough. That’s according to Sean Hoffmann, the chief communications officer for the Seguin ISD, who says district officials have taken the fight against vaping one step further. Vaping, pg. 2
