Underage drinking and vaping are growing concerns, with many young people gaining access to these products too easily. Vape ID is an innovative face and fingerprint recognition chip embedded in alcohol and vape packaging that ensures only those 18+ can access the product. If an underage person attempts to open it, the product remains sealed, preventing underage use.
By using advanced biometric technology, VapeID provides a practical and effective way to reduce underage substance use and encourage responsible consumption.
To support this initiative, the team will develop an educational website for schools, offering resources on the dangers of underage vaping, along with interactive games to help young people understand the risks in an engaging way.
