Dear Class,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are all wiser now<\/strong>. So you know that those who push vapes as harmless is trying to make money off addictions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As our local laws and enforcement starts to tighten<\/strong>, please make sure you avoid such activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A police record<\/strong> such as underage smoking or breaking the law such as vaping is actually quite troublesome in your future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because when you apply for jobs in future or to higher levels of learning<\/strong> e.g., diplomas and degree<\/em>, they may ask if you have criminal\/police record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if they accept you, that means everytime you apply for a new place\/opportunity, you may need to explain yourself<\/strong>.  You will need to check the box that says yes I have a police record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also lose out to opportunities that is competitive – due to such records. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not about how smart you are, but whether you are wise enough to appreciate that <\/strong>you shouldn’t create problems for yourself in your present<\/strong> – that will hinder the future you<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consequences of some mistakes, only appear as dividends in the future<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of situations where they check for police\/criminal records:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
