The McCracken County Board of Education is looking to add e-cigarettes to it’s tobacco policy as national studies are finding teenagers are more likely to reach for them as opposed to traditional cigarettes.

The board policy changes heard at Thursday’s meeting include a ban of all types of tobacco including vapor products on all board owned or operated facilities. That will include sporting events, and the policy applies to all students, employees and visitors.

The board took no action since it requires a second reading to take a vote.

Whitney grew up listening to Car Talk to and from her family’s beach vacation each year, but it wasn’t until a friend introduced her to This American Life that radio really grabbed her attention. She is a recent graduate from Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where she studied journalism. When she’s not at WKMS, you can find her working on her backyard compost pile and garden, getting lost on her bicycle or crocheting one massive blanket.
