The ordinance amendment prohibits minors from possessing “nicotine products” and bans vaping on school property. Following discussion at previous meetings, council members raised the proposed local fine for violating the ordinance from $50 to $250.
While federal law prohibits selling vape products to minors, a state law is still in the works. Demers said that while vaping in a growing problem in schools, students have faced only in-school punishment when caught with e-cigarettes.
Under the new rules, Demers said, tobacco enforcement “stings” using underage decoys will now include vape shops. In addition to ticketing business caught violating the law, the department notifies state and federal officials.
