Did you know it's illegal to vape or smoke anywhere on school property, inside the school or outside within 20m of school property, 24 hours a day, 36 days a year?
The law applies to everyone on school property, students, staff and visitors. It also means it is illegal to vape or smoke on school athletic fields during after hour activities or vape or smoke in school washrooms. There is a fine of $305 for vaping or smoking on school property.
But why do youth vape at school? Vapes contain nicotine, which is a highly addictive drug. Nicotine addiction is extremely powerful, develops quickly and youth may not realize they are addicted. Once addicted, they need nicotine regularly or they will experience withdrawal, making it hard to get through the school day. Some youth will vape on school property, like in the washrooms, for relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Help them take back control - there are supports to help youth quit!
Talk to your child about vaping, they listen more than you think! Learn more at NotAnExperiment.ca/parents
