Schools across the country are using surveillance technology to catch middle and high school students vaping, which could land the students in legal trouble.

In Texas, the minimum consequences for a student caught vaping in the Tyler School District is 30 days at an alternative school, where students do coursework but do not attend classes. But students could receive a misdemeanor citation, be given a fine, or if their vapes contain THC, they could face a felony charge, according to the Associated Press.
