The Growing Threat of Vaping Among Young People
Vaping has become an increasing concern in schools across the UK. While often marketed as a “safer alternative” to smoking, e-cigarettes pose significant health risks, behavioural concerns, and safeguarding challenges for young people.
At Tyrrell Systems, we are committed to helping schools combat vaping through smart detection technology, education, and proactive intervention strategies.
The Hidden Dangers of Vaping
Nicotine Addiction
Many vapes contain high levels of nicotine, leading to addiction at an early age.
Lung Damage
E-cigarette aerosols can contain harmful chemicals, leading to respiratory issues and long-term lung disease.
Mental Health Impact
Nicotine use can worsen anxiety, depression, and concentration levels, affecting academic performance.
