A rather astonishing statistic in the report is that 56% of students in a British Columbia-based school district admit to vaping within five minutes after waking up.
According to the report, only 35% of the school body has tried vaping, but when presenting the findings the district superintendent said, “The ages are what really sticks out to me: 12, 13, and 14. That’s when they’re first getting into that and you know possibly getting addicted. It does taper off the older they get and that jives with what we’ve talked to our student leadership students about.”
Fortunately, there are resources such as Soter Technologies‘ FlySense® vaping detection devices, which notify school officials – in real-time, when vaping (and/or bullying) is taking place in areas such as restrooms where recording devices are not an option due to privacy issues.
