Vaping posing serious hazard to area middle school students

The issue of vaping by our younger students is a growing concern,” said Dr. Tim Hall, superintendent of Sault Schools. “Companies that market these products advertise them as not being harmful when there is ample data that shows otherwise. Parents, families and schools need to be aware of the dangers and help educate our students that e-cigarettes and vaping are not healthy.
