Australian schools are installing vape detectors in bathrooms to deter students from using the harmful products, but just how effective are the devices?
She said while the long-term health impacts of vaping were still unknown, it was clear that children who vaped had issues with "memory, concentration, learning and mood."
"A lot of these kids overestimate how much control they have and I think it's important to remember that'We always ring their parents … whether they admit to vaping or they don't.'Schools across Australia have installed vape detectors, including St. John Paul II Catholic College in Canberra. "We went down the vape detector pathway because we were really unsure about how [vaping] might develop in the community. It did appear from the media attention around it and anecdotes ... that it could become a very big problem.""When we first installed them midway through last year, we clearly had kids who were testing the boundaries. But this year, we've had very little, which tells us that kids are not using the bathrooms for [vaping].
