Browning Public Schools Address Vaping Concern in Montana

Many of us aren't afraid to admit we weren't perfect when we were younger, right? Shoot, I'm grateful that social media wasn't around when I was in school and am even more grateful that cameras weren't as accessible back then.

That's not to say I did anything that deserves extended jail time or committed any horrific acts of violent or assault, hell to the no. But did I go to parties in high school? Of course. Was I a straight-A student? Not by any means!

All of that said, we didn't have access to the same things back then that kids do today.

Browning Public Schools Addresses "Growing Concern"

In a statement released by Browning Public Schools on Tuesday, officials addressed a "growing concern" surrounding vaping and "dabbing."

"We need to address a serious and growing concern regarding student use of vapes and dabs," the statement reads, "We are seeing an increasing number of incidents involving vapes and dabs, including seizures and severe allergic reactions among students."

For those unfamiliar, "dabbing" is means of inhaling vapors created from heating up concentrated amounts of cannabis.

"To date, I have confiscated 64 vapes and dab devices. Based on what students are paying, this equates to approximately $4,160, highlighting how widespread this issue has become."

That's quite a bit considering these kids shouldn't be in possession of the stuff in the first place.
