If you haven’t been using Open AI’s Chat GPT to help you in your work, here’s a chance for you… I asked Chat GPT-4 (you can find it here: https://openai.com/product/gpt-4 ) about vapes with this, sort of lengthy question:
American middle schools and high schools are currently facing rampant problems with students vaping at school. Despite rules against their use, and laws against minors using them, the use of vapes has continued to explode. Additionally, schools are facing plumbing problems due to the large number of vapes being flushed in commodes when students feel they may be caught while using in the restroom. Please share a list of articles with urls that offer solutions to adolescent vaping, particularly in schools.
And, here was the regenerative response, provided here for your information (and provided in about 4-5 seconds).
