SUMMARY: Lamar County School District leaders met with community members to discuss the issue of teen vaping, which is considered an epidemic. They aim to implement changes statewide following a similar summer meeting. Currently, Mississippi is one of three states without restrictions on vaping, making regulation vital. Leaders propose added taxes, licensing for sellers, and zoning restrictions for vape shops near schools to hold them accountable. With vape stores proliferating, legislators emphasize the need for awareness campaigns and new laws to combat underage vaping. The district plans to meet again next month to advance legislative proposals.
