Directs DOE and DOH to develop guidelines for school districts and institutions of higher education concerning student vaping awareness campaigns.
S 2987 requires New Jersey's Department of Education (DOE) and Department of Health (DOH) to create annual guidelines for school districts and colleges on implementing anti-vaping awareness campaigns. The guidelines must include research-backed materials about vaping dangers (such as lung effects, mental health impacts, and comparisons to smoking), age-appropriate behavior change strategies, and tools to help students resist peer pressure. Schools and colleges would use these guidelines to develop campus-wide campaigns targeting middle school, high school, and college students. The DOE and DOH must post the guidelines online and update them yearly based on stakeholder input.
