SINGAPORE - Tech companies are rolling out sensors to detect vaping, amid a sharp rise in the seizures of electronic vaporisers in Singapore.

The device monitors 16 data points including particulates, carbon monoxide and the number of people in the room. It is able to monitor the quality of air and detect dangerous vaping chemicals. A teacher in Singapore, who recently caught a Primary 4 pupil vaping, said vaping detection sensors could be a “game changer”.

He said his school had detected about 200 cases of students vaping a month over a three-month period from October 2022.
