Requires school districts to provide instruction on dangers of electronic cigarette usage as part of New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.
This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to teach students in grades 6-12 about the dangers of e-cigarettes as part of their health education curriculum. The instruction must cover nicotine content in e-cigarettes, how use can lead to addiction to tobacco or other drugs, health risks from chemicals like formaldehyde, and the state's ban on e-cigarettes at school under the Smoke-Free Air Act. School districts must integrate this content into existing health education standards, and the Commissioner of Education will provide sample lesson materials to support implementation. The bill directly affects all New Jersey public schools and students in the specified grades.
