Schools have been clamping down on vaping following a rise in children using e-cigarettes since the pandemic, with the attractiveness and availability of the products leaving teachers frustrated. At one school in Wales, staff patrolling the grounds at lunch time have a zero-tolerance approach, and pupils caught vaping are excluded.
