According to a report from Meaww, Mesa Public Schools, the largest school district in Arizona, is considering installing e-cigarette detectors in all middle and high school restrooms as a measure to prevent teenage smoking.
These detectors, resembling smoke alarms, are designed to detect particles and compounds emitted from e-cigarettes. Once someone is detected vaping, the device will send an alert to the school staff through email or text message.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of students using tobacco products has decreased from 14.1% to 10% in the past year. However, approximately 2.8 million children are still using these products.
The most prevalent product among eighth graders is the e-cigarette, with 13.6% of them admitting to having tried it at least once in their lifetime. Although this figure is lower compared to previous years, schools remain firm in their assertion that vaping with e-cigarettes continues to be a grave concern.
