As a teacher, my concern is that our school went from a small group of about 10 smokers, to now just about every kid has a fancy colourful and flavourful disposable vape. It is crazy the sheer number of them. And the number of smokers has dropped significantly in the last 10 years as well.

I don't know if replacing the small number of smokers in the school for a huge number of vaping children is better, if I'm honest. The amount of them that are addicted to nicotine and energy drinks now is really quite scary.
