Cooper Ski Club Information Sheet

Tobacco/E-Cigs

This is a reminder that Cooper High School is a tobacco free campus. This includes cigarettes, dip, and e-cigarettes including vape devices.

Student health and safety are the first concern of the Boone County School District and Cooper High School. We encourage you to discuss this important issue with your students. Stopping the use of vaping materials and other tobacco products is essential to maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all.

Please click on the links below for information and advice on talking with your teen about e-cigarettes.

E- cigarettes & youth - What parents need to know

Talk with your teen about E-Cigarettes - A Tip Sheet for parents

Click here for an informational sheet on the practice, more commonly known as "vaping" or "Juuling". These devices and the liquids contain varying amounts of nicotine (the purchaser can buy varying concentrations of nicotine from manufacturers) and flavoring agents, such as cherry flavor or bubblegum flavor are frequently added.

Cooper has a variety of responses to this unhealthy trend, including the promotion of our Drug Free Club of America. Our sponsor, Ms. Kristen Nunn can provide you additional information should you choose to have your student join.
