Tobacco use rates among Tennessee youth have been decreasing over the past few years, but the use of electronic cigarettes (vapes) is on the rise. Both smoking and vaping can lead to nicotine addiction, lung damage, and other health issues. Tobacco use and vaping is especially harmful to young people because their brains are still developing. This month the Department of Health is partnering with Van Buren County Schools to educate our students about the importance of staying nicotine free by not using tobacco or e-cigarettes (vapes).
Van Buren County Schools will be dismissing at 1:00pm today, Wednesday, April 6th, 2022 due to incoming inclement weather.
