Nicotine & The Young Brain

• Brain is still developing until about age 25.
• Nicotine is addictive and disrupts the development of

the brain circuits that control attention and learning.

Clarification

“Tobacco product” is defined in Colorado Revised Statute (C.R.S. 18-13-121 (5)) as: “Any product that contains nicotine or tobacco or is derived from tobacco and is intended to be ingested or inhaled by or applied to the skin of an individual.” The section also includes, “Any electronic device that can be used to deliver nicotine to the person inhaling from the device, including but not limited to an electronic cigarette, cigar, cigarillo, or pipe.” E-cigarettes are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and effectiveness, and have not been approved to help people quit smoking.

District Policy

• Jeffco policy number: ADC (TFS)
• Students – no possession, use, distribution, giving, purchasing,

exhchanging or selling of tobacco products on district property and at school sponsored events (possession doesn’t apply to adults)

• Related policies: JICH (ATOD Involvement), KFA (Conduct)
• Jeffco’s definition of drug parapharnalia does include

language about “unauthorized posession of … smoking devices, vaporizers, and inhalers.” (JKDA/JKEA)

• ADC directs schools to review Jeffco’s Guidelines for

Implementation for information regarding discipline and communication.
