The DOE and NYC Health has released information for families on e-cigarettes and Vaping
A recent report by the U.S. Surgeon General shows that e-cigarette use (or ‘vaping’) is significantly increasing among youth. To help address and prevent this use these links are provided to educate staff, parents/guardians, and students on the health effects of e-cigarettes for youth. Please review the following materials.
Tobacco and other drug-use prevention is a key component of comprehensive health education lessons required by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) in elementary, middle and high school. This instruction provides students with knowledge and skills that can change behaviors around tobacco and e-cigarette use. E-cigarette use is prohibited according to the DOE discipline code. Please review additional information and resources on local e-cigarette policies, health, and safety.
