As part of the ongoing effort to prevent adolescent smoking in the United States, members of the Sturgis Public Schools Board of Education will discuss the installation of electronic cigarette sensors in their middle and high schools.
Principal Art Ebert stated that these electronic cigarette sensors will prevent teenagers from using drugs on campus.
One of the recommended companies is Summit Fire Protection, who has offered a bid of $94,370. There are several reasons for their recommendation, as listed below.
According to a press release in the Sturgis Journal, "It is a low-bidding contractor; it will not involve subcontractors; the company has experience installing various types of sensors in buildings; the work can be completed by the end of 2021.
At the same time, another school district, Evart, has decided to join the growing legal movement against Juul Labs. Evart School District has also installed e-cigarette detectors and taken other measures to minimize opportunities for teenagers to vape on school grounds. The school's principal, Shirley Howard, hopes that through litigation, they may receive compensation to cover the costs of purchasing and installing these detectors.
She said: "We have installed electronic cigarette detectors in all middle and high school bathrooms, which cost us about $47,000, so we may recoup the cost in the future." "The reason we want electronic cigarette detectors is not just to catch kids, but because we believe having detectors will make students stop and think before doing so.
Juul Inc. is facing accusations that it should work to minimize the health risks associated with its products.
The lawsuit alleges that Juul company enticed teenagers through their marketing campaigns and developed a strategy to profit from creating a product that causes addiction.
This is a lawsuit against JUUL Labs, as well as against manufacturers of electronic cigarettes," Howard said, as quoted by the Pioneer. "The lawsuit not only seeks monetary compensation for the costs schools have already incurred related to vaping, but also provides funding for future costs related to vaping. We believe this will be beneficial and it really cannot hurt us. If we have the opportunity to recoup some costs, that is always a benefit.
