The South Bend Tribune reports that Mishawaka High School enacted a policy this year allowing resource officers to issue tickets to students caught vaping at least twice.
Violations carry a $145 fine among other consequences. Mann says Mishawaka officials devised a plan last summer to address the mounting number of students vaping, a practice in which nicotine is heated and inhaled through a pen-like device.
Mishawaka students received 75 out-of-school suspensions for tobacco use last school year. So far, 40 students have been suspended this year.

That is pretty aggressive considering more than 50% of MHS students don’t even pay for their lunch. Good luck collecting. Oh wait…The government will probably pay the fines for the students that can’t afford too…No doubt these people all going to vote for Bernie.
