We have personally witnessed the destructiveness of substance abuse among our friends. We know we are not alone on this issue, considering the widespread use of drugs, specifically among the youth. Hence, this petition is moved by a desire to prevent destruction by substance abuse. Together, we must unite to combat this issue.

The National Youth Tobacco Survey indicates that about 3.6 million youths in the U.S. used e-cigarettes in 2020. The implementation of smoke/vape detectors in our school is a strong practical step towards nipping the bud of substance misuse. These detectors, specifically designed to detect vaping, will serve as both a deterrent measure and a critical tool for intervention where necessary. 

Cypress High School deserves to be a safe and encouraging environment where students can focus on their education and personal development. Let's give our best to keep substance misuse out of our school premises. Please, sign this petition to stand up for the health and wellbeing of the students at Cypress High School.
