A fast, effective & affordable solution to detect vaping in schools & indoor spaces
A recent incident in Somerset, where a shopkeeper pled guilty to selling vapes to a 15-year-old, underscores the urgent need to address illegal vape sales and protect our youth. This case highlights a growing problem: retailers failing to comply with age-restriction laws, putting children's health at serious risk.
Local authorities are intensifying their crackdown on non-compliant businesses, reinforcing the importance of upholding these regulations. As a community, we must prioritize youth safety and ensure that harmful substances like vaping products remain out of reach for underage individuals.
Protecting our children isn’t just a legal responsibility—it's a moral one. Let’s continue to work together, as parents, educators, and business leaders, to keep our youth safe and healthy.
