Schools Are Putting Vape Detectors In Bathrooms

A recent government study shows a decrease in e-cigarette use among young people in the U.S., with more schools installing vape detectors to combat student vaping. Some districts are using funds from a settlement against Juul Labs to pay for these devices, which cost about $1,000 each. They alert school officials of vaping incidents and can be integrated with security cameras for better monitoring. In 2024, approximately 1.63 million students in high school and middle school reported using e-cigarettes. This marks a decrease from the previous year when 2.13 million students reported vaping.
