Brody Simonson, the e-cigarette prevention coordinator at McGregor High School, presented the local prevention measures being taken to the board of directors. So far, about 10 students have participated in the anti-e-cigarette program.
Simonson discussed the types of e-cigarette devices and how easily they can be concealed for use throughout the school day. He also highlighted the hazardous chemicals found in the e-liquid used to transport nicotine in these devices. E-liquid, flavored like "cotton candy" and almost any other taste imaginable, is used to fill e-cigarette devices. Simonson stated that the FDA has banned some flavors. According to Simonson, these flavors have contributed to the sale of e-cigarettes among minors including one device that looks nearly identical to Sour Patch Kids candy.
Simonson also discussed the negative health impact of e-cigarettes on young people.
Two leaders of McGregor's anti-vaping campaign are set to participate in the 2023 "Quit Vaping" youth competition, a video contest aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of e-cigarettes.
The consequences of vaping inside school buildings or facilities include suspension from classes, prompting McGregor School Board Chair Heather Sorenson to question, "Are we teaching them how to quit?
Jordan Moser, a member of the board of directors, stated, "We need to do something." Cheryl Meld, the McGregor Community Education Director, discussed a program titled "My Life, My Quit." This free and confidential plan assists individuals in quitting smoking or using e-cigarettes. For further details, please visit https://mylifemyquit.com.
