There is a growing trend in which some schools, cities, and police are deciding to treat electronic cigarettes and vapor devices as illicit drug paraphernalia. In most cases, this is because the devices can be modified and used to deliver THC (the active ingredient in marijuana).

This is our response:

Just recently, a mother was forced to fight the suspension of her daughter from high school. Her daughter was caught with an electronic cigarette — which the school chose to treat as an illicit drug device — thus the hefty penalty for possessing something it was not illegal for the teen to possess.

In other places, new ordinances are attempting to group in e-cigs with all drug paraphernalia. While this might not mean that a given e-cig is automatically considered illegal, someone stopped with one might be treated as a criminal until the device can be tested for drug residue.

We hope that more level-heads prevail.
