Should New Jersey Schools Prohibit E-Cigarettes?

Sale of alternative smoking device legal to minors.

Promoted as a safe alternative to tobacco-filled cigarettes that don’t harm the body, e-cigarettes are becoming more and more popular–especially with minors.

The new smoking alternative – which offers different flavors – is not illegal to be purchased by minors nor have many school districts denied its presence on school grounds the same way tobacco has been pushed out of schools.

While there’s no smoke in the device, there is nicotine and chemicals that can be found in tobacco products.
