Vape Detection for Barbados Schools and Businesses
Vape Guardian helps secondary schools, colleges, hotels and employers across Barbados detect vaping in bathrooms and other unsupervised spaces, alerting staff in about 5 seconds.
The 2020 National Primary School Survey found that 4.1% of Class 3 and 4 pupils had used e-cigarettes (Healthy Caribbean Coalition), and in 2022 the Chief Education Officer said vaping would not be condoned in schools (Barbados Today). Our system helps principals act on that.
Education, Not Only Alarms
Our vaping education course, created with LifeLab at the University of Southampton, helps guidance counsellors pair detection with prevention.
UK Design and Engineering
Hardware and software are designed in-house by our UK team, so you have one partner for the full system.

Vaping and the Law in Barbados
Barbados treats electronic smoking devices as tobacco products under the Health Services Act, as amended in 2017. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to buy, use or sell them (National Council on Substance Abuse), and the Health Services (Smoking) Regulations 2017 count vaping as smoking, banning it in indoor public places, workplaces and public transport. Sensors help schools and businesses spot breaches quickly.
