School vape sensor went off 112 times within first day of installation, says headteacher

Schools have been expressing concerns about the level of addiction seen in young people when it comes to vaping, as the government vows to carry out a consultation to add restrictions.

In an interview with ITV News, one headteacher in Newport spoke of how they’d installed ‘vape sensors’ to deter it - but instead - it went off 112 times within the first day.

“Some of our young people are so addicted to the vapes that they can’t last a lesson...an hour of time”, says Tony McCabe, headteacher at St Joseph’s RC High School, who insists children are ‘victims’ of the crisis.
