Alaska School District Implements Emergency Measures to Address E-Cigarette Usage
Alaska's Kenai Peninsula School District implements emergency measures due to high e-cigarette usage among students.

According to a report from the American media outlet Peninsula Clarion on November 7th, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (KPBSD) in Alaska, USA, has expressed serious concerns over students using e-cigarettes. As a result, the district has implemented a series of urgent measures.

 

According to reports, the current proportion of students using e-cigarettes in this district is 28.1%. In response to this, the school has installed 9 smart smoke sensors starting from January 2022. These devices are capable of detecting and analyzing vapor in the air, as well as identifying whether students are using e-cigarettes on campus.

 

According to the findings of a survey on youth risk behavior in Alaska, 26.1% of students in the Kenai School District have reported using e-cigarettes. In order to address this issue, Soldotna High School will be implementing smart sensors within the school premises starting from 2022, to detect e-cigarette usage and aid students in their efforts to quit smoking.
