- Students caught vaping in school can expect a lot more than a warning or detention in one North Texas district starting this fall. They will be forced to attend a special, isolated disciplinary school for a month.
Channing is not the only district getting stricter about vaping. Another Texas school system has hired a resource officer to assist with vaping prevention. Thousands of schools across the country are installing sensors in bathrooms to catch offenders. One school in Alabama has gone as far as to remove bathroom stall doors.
In recent years, vaping has exploded in popularity among young people and adults alike. More than 3 million U.S. high school students used e-cigarettes in 2018, a 78% increase, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. With the recent deaths and illness, efforts to stop vaping on campus have taken on new urgency, and schools are looking for fresh approaches to tackle the problem.The Channing district, which has about 170 students, tried to stem vaping last year by requiring students to roll up their sleeves when entering school in an attempt to prevent them from hiding e-cigarettes.
He expected that will change. “I’m not naive enough to think they’re not sneaking around and trying it,” Stevens said. Principal Gary Horton told the TV station that the rule went into effect after a student was found unconscious on the bathroom floor from excessive vaping.E-cigarettes were introduced to the U.S. market 15 years ago as safer alternatives to traditional cigarettes, which kill up to half of all lifetime users, according to the World Health Organization. Manufacturers, including the market leader Juul Labs, have claimed that their target consumers are adults addicted to cigarettes.
