To let DD (16) vape?

DD (16) vapes and so do her friends. I’ve tried everything to stop her vaping but she still vapes. Would I be unreasonable to just let her vape at this point? She knows the health risks and is nearly an adult. I’ve tried everything to get her to stop vaping and I’ve offered to support her to quit too but she is still vaping so I don’t know what else to do at this point. What would you do?

Would she be open to the nicotine free ones if it's a social thing? She would still be vaping but without the addictive element (she may need patches for a little while if she has been using nicotine vapes for a while)

Don’t see how she knows all the health risks of vaping when no one really does. All the experts say they don’t yet know the long term damage of vaping.

I meant that she knows it’s a risk to her health.

No I wouldn't support her (although that won't stop her) but I certainly wouldn't be giving her any money while she's doing it.

I mean assuming she's getting hold of them herself and you're not buying them then there's nothing you can do to stop her. But I wouldn't allow it in the house - make it a PITA for her to do at home
