“Students caught vaping nicotine or possessing any tobacco product on school grounds could get fines and community service under an ordinance proposed in Flushing Township. Underage nicotine use is already illegal under state law, but the Flushing Township Police Department sought the local ordinance so that local authorities work more closely with students to deter vaping or tobacco use. For violations of the proposed local ordinance, students would be subject to a civil infraction with a fine of no more than $50 for a first offense and no more than $100 for a second offence. The court may also order the student to participate in a health promotion and risk-reduction program. The individual could also be given up to 16 hours of community service for a first offense and up to 32 hours for a second offense.”
