Many schools face the problem of teenage smoking. According to a recent CDC Survey, nationally, around 8-10% of teenagers smoke on school grounds. This not only creates a problem for school discipline but it exacerbates an already escalating problem with school becoming a recruiting ground for new smokers. The following statistics show the scale of the problem in Kentucky and the knock-on effects of teen smoking:
High school students who smoke
26.0% (58,600)
Kids (under 18) who become new daily smokers each year
6,500
Kids now under 18 and alive in Kentucky who will ultimately die prematurely from smoking
107,000
Adults in Kentucky who smoke
28.2% (904,200)
Adults who die each year from their own smoking
7,800
Annual health care costs in Kentucky directly caused by smoking
$1.50 billion

This can have knock-on problems with loitering, graffiti, vandalism and bullying, with many pupils not wanting to use the facilities.
These areas are particularly difficult to monitor and students find it easy to hide behind locked stall doors and light up. Not with Cig-Arrête!Cig-Arrête award winning tobacco detection alarms and systems have enabled thousands of schools, hospitals and businesses around the world to become 100% smoke free. Low cost and easy to install, they continually monitor the environment and activate within seconds of a student lighting up.Cig-Arrête can operate as a covert system with a control panel in a staffroom alerting staff to someone smoking in a specific area or by releasing a voice message to the offender informing them that they are in a no smoking area and to extinguish their cigarette.
Students hate the smell of smoke
Act now and save $100 on your first restroom order
Quote reference RSU/0902 on all correspondence to claim your saving!
Dixie Heights High School KY Principal Kim Banta recently installed Cig-Arrête in their school washrooms:
"One light from a lighter or two puffs from a cigarette will set this thing off. The students are thanking me for installing them. It is just awesome.""Not one cigarette butt has been found in a restroom. Because of this success, other high schools in the area are looking in to the system as well. The idea came about as a result of the non-smoking students complaining because sometimes the restrooms smelled like smoke. Although we try to have faculty in the restrooms to prevent the smoking, we just can't be everywhere at all times. With this system we are covered."
Kentucky has allocated $3.7 million for tobacco cessation causes. (FY2009)
