As vaping continues to plague schools across the country, a growing number of K-12 institutions are turning to innovative technology to combat the issue: vape detectors. These devices, designed to detect the presence of vape products, are being installed in schools to help identify and prevent vaping among students. By providing real-time alerts to administrators and teachers, vape detectors aim to disrupt the vaping culture in schools and provide a safer learning environment for students. But as schools increasingly adopt this technology, concerns are being raised about student privacy and the potential for over-policing - can these detectors truly help to extinguish the vaping problem in schools?
