Requires certain persons attend the electronic cigarette and vaping prevention, awareness and control program

This bill mandates that students under 21 found using or possessing electronic cigarettes or vaping products, along with their parents or guardians, must attend a specific prevention and awareness program. The program, created by the Department of Health in collaboration with the Department of Education, aims to educate these individuals about the health risks of vaping and strategies to reduce its use among minors. To support this initiative, the bill also requires the department to develop age-appropriate instructional materials and advertising campaigns to discourage vaping in schools. Additionally, the law authorizes the necessary rules and regulations to be finalized before the act takes effect ninety days after it is passed.
