As many of you know,<br />
JUUL is currently one of<br />
the biggest problems in the<br />
state with teenagers.<br />
JUUL will be pulling the<br />
mango, cucumber, fruit,<br />
and creme flavored pods<br />
from convenience stores<br />
and other retailers said an<br />
anonymous source, who<br />
asked not to be named be-<br />
Explaining the new state legislature<br />
cause the proposal is not yet<br />
public.<br />
These flavors have<br />
drawn criticism from parents,<br />
teachers, and regulators<br />
who say they attract<br />
kids to the products.<br />
According to the<br />
Washington State Legislature,<br />
federal law requires<br />
states to have a minimum<br />
age of 18 years for the sale<br />
Peace Club<br />
or purchase of tobacco<br />
products.<br />
With new requirements<br />
soon to be put into the work<br />
on Jan 1, 2020, it will be illegal<br />
for anyone under the<br />
age of 21 to purchase or attempt<br />
to purchase anything<br />
JUUL related.<br />
It is not illegal for minors<br />
to possess or consume<br />
tobacco products in public.<br />

With school starting again,<br />
you might find yourself interested<br />
in exploring some of the<br />
school’s clubs and what they<br />
have to offer. Back in September,<br />
the school held a club fair<br />
where students could come<br />
and look for clubs they might<br />
be intrigued by. Peace Club<br />
was a main attraction at the<br />
club fair, but what is it?<br />
Peace Club is a student lead<br />
group whose goal is to try and<br />
improve our school and community<br />
by doing projects that<br />
benefit people.<br />
For example, Peace Club<br />
does a lot of community service<br />
throughout the year. Every<br />
Wednesday they meet to<br />
go to Apoyo at the college and<br />
help fold clothing and make<br />
boxes of food for people in<br />
need.<br />
At our school, Peace Club<br />
chalks the sidewalk before big<br />
events, such as at Homecoming<br />
this year.<br />
Peace Club is run by President<br />
Jenna Callan and Vice<br />
President Annie Schlanger.<br />
Callan said that she joined<br />
Peace Club in the middle of<br />
her freshman year and was<br />
elected president of the club<br />
after her sophomore year.<br />
The main reason she wanted<br />
to join was because she<br />
wanted to interact with the<br />
school life in a beneficial way<br />
and join a club her friends<br />
were in.<br />
Her biggest goal for this<br />
year is to have a lasting positive<br />
effect on the community<br />
and school.<br />
When asked what her favorite<br />
past Peace Club activity<br />
was she answered, “Trickor-treating<br />
for canned food.”<br />
The club plans on continuing<br />
this activity this Halloween,<br />
so make sure you donate!<br />
If you are interested in<br />
joining Peace Club they meet<br />
on Monday mornings at 8:45<br />
in room E206.
