Area Schools and agencies trying to cut down on youth vape use 

Ada Police Chief Steve Hager says that one issue that area schools and law enforcement agencies are trying to cut down and educate on is the growing issue of vaping.  Hager says attempts to cut down on usage have been mixed and that he and other departments and agencies have been trying to come up with solutions. 

Hager says this increase in vaping has led to a growing attendance in the County’s diversion program, which he says has helped him others understand where the issue is coming from.
