The Jordan School District will be targeting students this year by placing vape detectors in one of its middle schools
WEST JORDAN, Utah — While it may be a new school year, Utah educators are still struggling to help their students break the bad habit of E-cigarette use, which also has been linked to potential health risks.
“We’re seeing an uptick in our middle school students, and our worry is, if they begin vaping in middle school, it can become a lifelong addictive habit,” explains Sharon Jensen, a consultant in Student Support Services.The district will be targeting that age demographic this year by placing vape detectors in one of their middle schools.
According to Stewart Hudnall, a high school vice principal with Jordan Schools, E-cigarettes containing THC are a more common sight in his halls. Addiction is another big issue Hudnall is having to address, with some of his students unable to make-it through a full-day of school without a hit of nicotine.
