A high school is a busy place on a regular school day.  Students are moving between classes.  The electronic signal is loud and signifies when classes start and stop.  There is a lot going on.

Governor Eric Holcomb chose the Fishers High School College and Career Academy as the site for a big announcement Thursday afternoon.  He and his Health Commissioner, Dr. Kristina Box, announced a marketing campaign to stem the rising tide of young people using vaping.

The campaign will consist of education in the form of classroom curriculum and information on a state Web site with the facts on the health risks of vaping.

Dr. Box spoke of the alarming medical data that is mounting, showing health dangers tied to vaping.  She and Governor Holcomb are launching this campaign to stop the rising number of young people vaping.

Jason Urban, Fishers High School Principal, said he and his staff will be reviewing the high school curriculum being developed by state officials to present the stark health risks tied to vaping, for possible use by his teaching staff.
