How to enforce vape ban in the house ?

Both my teens vape. I’ve told them countless times it’s banned in the house. Every time I caught them in their room I confiscated and threw away the vape. They just get more. On one occasion dd was screaming at me as it was her last one and she hadn’t been paid yet.

I’ve stopped their pocket money but both have part time jobs.

They now have taken to vaping under the disguise of ‘going to the toilet/having a shower’ and then deny it but I can smell the vapes. I can’t tackle them physically to go in clothing pockets they are wearing and I’m just fed up and can’t think of what to do now ? They won’t follow this one rule? They follow every other house rule and generally behave well except for this . What can I try ?

Has the dentist not given them the frighteners?

We went to the dentist last week and he was telling us how bad teenagers’ teeth are now because of vaping.

@icelolly12 my dentist and hygienist both say how damaging vaping is to teeth and gums and gums diseases seems to be increasing. Obviously vaping hadn't been around long ( in terms of seeing how damaging it is to the body) back in the day cigarettes 'helped' & were advised by Drs!
