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 funny thing is: This is very likely just a VOC detector with a fancy API. I can't imagine that they spent too much on actual hardware development, especially as they are afaik not a real hardware company.

So it will be triggered by VOC.

You know what else does cause a lot of VOC to be distributed in a environment?

Yeah. Taking a proper shit.

This has very likely never been tested on an actual toilet.
