Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

Considering they are only harming themselves, no I do not care much

As others mentioned, I think schools should dedicate resources to address this situation through education, instead of paying some start up for some surveillance gadgets

They are not just harming themselves. Everyone knows how harmful secondhand smoke is.

From vaping? I think you have vaping and smoking confused

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope, not smoke per se, but still damaging to breathe.

I think people severely underestimate how harmful it is.

Happy to read about it of you have any source to share

I know vaping is not without dangers but it is a step forward from smoking. I honestly never read anything about second hand vaping fumes

In any case, I am not in favour of vaping in schools. I just think schools should not spend money in these detector crap. They should address it with their best tool, education

Again, we're talking about actual children. You know: people that have yet to mentally develop to the point where they can make fully informed decisions on everything and sometimes have to be "coerced" by reasonable adults into doing so.

So you didn't read my second paragraph?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't disagree with that part. Doing what you suggested and using the "vape detectors" aren't mutually exclusive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Doing what you suggested and using the “vape detectors” aren’t mutually exclusive.

Well, kind of since I suggested NOT using vape detectors
