EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should’ve looked into posting this in a different community… It’s closer to a silly “innovation”… soo… is this considered FUD? I also don’t support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had “privacy-violating” before the “solution”.

And it’s a heck of a lot better than alternatives like removing the stall doors.
It’s not surveilling children, it’s surveilling the byproducts of vaping.
