Bulletin Updates
January 20-24
Tobacco 21 - A new law is now in effect making it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to purchase, attempt to purchase, possess, or obtain tobacco products. Washington’s Tobacco 21 law also applies to e-cigarettes and vaping products.
The research shows that nearly all people who smoke begin before age 21 when their brains are more vulnerable to nicotine and addiction. The new law is intended to slow the use of vaping products in schools, where 18-year-old students are able to purchase products for classmates who are still minors.
In addition, most vaping flavors have been banned. The flavor restrictions follow a nationwide outbreak of lung injury associated with e-cigarettes and vapor products.
If you are concerned about your child's substance use, you may contact your school’s Student Assistance Professional, Ciela Meyer, who can be reached by calling 360-302-5911 or by email at ciela_meyer@csd49.org.
