Letter: Students need lessons on dangers of vaping

Posted

To the editor:

As a member of the Barrington High School class of 2020, I want to let you know that I feel that the youth need more teachings in school and at town-wide presentations about the dangers as well as talking about what is inside a vape and the harmful affects of the vape on the body. 

The effects of vaping greatly impact the person who is vaping. I think we need to go more in-depth why vaping is bad for one's growth and development. I feel we should teach the youth about vaping. If this important presentation could be state-funded for the schools of Rhode Island this would be helpful to the youth.

Sincerely,

Ben Conway

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
