Vaping becoming a dangerous problem at Hancock County schools

The superintendent of Hancock County Schools is warning parents that vaping with e-cigarettes is becoming a dangerous problem.

Superintendent Theresa Merwin talked about vaping in her weekly message on district happenings.

People under 21 cannot vape, so all vaping on school grounds is illegal. Merwin said a few students have needed medical attention after vaping.

Students caught vaping face expulsion and if the e-cigarette cartridge contains an illegal substance, police will be called.

The problem hasn’t been isolated to high school or even middle school, she said they had instances in elementary schools as well.
