Parents of families in Florida, United States, are very concerned, where the press highlights the presence of vapors containing fentanyl.

What the Daily Mail reveals, for example, is delicate: that medium indicates that “2.5 million American children and adolescents use electronic cigarettes.” While Miami Diario adds that “the manufacturers of these substances often use fentanyl to make them addictive.”

A ‘cascade of pleasure’ and then a lot of pain, these are the addictive effects of fentanyl already distributed in Ecuador

Teen vaper

In early October 2023, an irregular situation was identified at a school in Volusia County, Florida.

Police even arrested a teenager “who they say fled campus after being caught vaping in the bathroom at Deltona High School.”

FOX 35 reported that the investigation revealed the young man “exited the vaporizer and discovered he tested positive for both THC and fentanyl.” The boy was arrested at his home.

What happened has terrified parents, who agree they will emphasize the harms of fentanyl at home.

Antidote by hand and other measures

Before the situation gets out of hand, as there have already been several incidents and even deaths due to contact with fentanyl, the sheriff has found a way out.

Fox 35 reports that “the sheriff asked about it to schools that will use Narcan on campus in case of overdose and school staff will take it.”

Narcan, Kids Health reports, comes in a small package and is easy to use and carry. It is sold as a nasal spray or injection.

Narcan can save someone from overdosing on heroin, fentanyl, or opioid medications. Narcan is the brand name for the drug naloxone.

Children’s health site

It won’t be the only measure: the Volusia County School District has announced they will launch a new campaign against vaping and drug use next quarter.

They have an “anonymous hotline where students can report inappropriate activities.”

In addition, they also plan to install vaping detectors in schools, the media published.

Background

When Kelli Ninche, mother of several students at Deltona High School, heard about the arrest of a young man with a fentanyl vape, he told Fox 35, “It’s definitely a topic I’m going to discuss with him (with one of his children (who’s in first grade).) again tonight, because they might think they’re just using nicotine and then have something else in mind, like fentanyl. “To me it’s terrifying.”

Authorities told media that a 17-year-old boy who attends a DeLand school “suffered from a fentanyl overdose” a few months ago.

According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, the boy “thought he was buying cocaine, but it turned out it contained fentanyl. “He was found dead in his home.”

Truths About Vaping: Is It As Harmful As Cigarettes? What teens don’t want to know

The person selling the drugs was another teen who is a suspect in another case.

According to investigators, Fox 35 explains, he was charged with involuntary manslaughter last Monday. In the other incident, presented in July, they report the purchasing student passed out in a DeLand High bathroom.
