STREATOR – Nicotine will be added to the list of drugs Streator Township High School will be testing for soon. In a board meeting Tuesday, it was agreed upon to update the high school’s list of drugs tested for in student interscholastic activities, adding nicotine to current testing protocol. Superintendent Matt Seaton says that more teens are vaping. Earlier this week a survey by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services found a significant increase in the number of high school students who vape. The annual survey of substance use among high school students showed slightly over 37% of 12th graders have tried vaping in the past year.
