Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

The point people are making is that communication and discipline, both things that require time and skill, would be a better, less invasive approach.

Perhaps that's being done as well?

But even if it is, that approach doesn't work with all people, no matter how skillful or how much time is put into it.
