According to a report from azfamily on November 8, a recent statewide survey in Mesa, Arizona revealed that over 13% of eighth-grade students and 27% of high school students are currently using e-cigarettes. In response to this concerning trend, several schools in the city have started to implement new "e-cigarette detectors" in an effort to reduce the usage of e-cigarettes on campus.
The director of campus safety and security at Mesa Public Schools, Allen Moore, announced that a pilot program for "e-cigarette detectors" has been launched at Red Mountain High School and has shown promising results.
They found that the most common place to use e-cigarettes is in the restroom, as there are no cameras or adult supervision. Once the sensors detect the chemical components in the e-cigarette, an alert is sent to the school's surveillance system, allowing the security personnel to promptly review the footage in the respective area and quickly identify the students using e-cigarettes.
Moor expressed his desire for this pilot project to become a long-term scheme and for e-cigarette detectors to be installed in all schools across Mesa City.
