To be annoyed my nephew introduced my son to vaping

[Ilikecheese789]

Already posted about this but it’s really angered my that my nephew has introduced my son to vaping and my sister doesn’t care. For some background, my nephew has adhd and apparently the nicotine helps him as he doesn’t want meds. If anybody can enlighten me to whether this is true then please go ahead as I don’t know how vaping can help adhd to be honest. My son has now started to have a slight addiction as he has said he ‘craves’ it. He’s only done it on 3 periods apparently but I don’t know how many times or what is in it other than nicotine. My sister won’t tell her son to stop giving it to mine so I don’t know what to do,

findings by the MHRA that vaping has been linked to 200 health complaints from heart disorders to pneumonia Those are 200 yellow card incidents from 70 complainants who think their issues come from vaping. Fuck all evidence from any health professionals to back these up. And the death from 10 years ago unlikely to be from vaping traditional eliquid since there's no oil in eliquid unless you but dodgy stuff or put it in yourself.

OP-Keep them apart, and inform the school in case they are sneaking off there to vape. At 13 and 14 this isn't remotely okay, and your DN's parents are failing their son if they aren't being proactive enough in stopping it. Where is he getting the money from to do this?

I think that you should put your son first and keep your distance from your DN and other family members condoning rather than addressing his behaviour. The health of your DS should be your priority.

Sorry, I missed that it was actually his mum giving him the stuff to vape. If she is really stupid enough to think that is acceptable then that is very sad for her and her son, but you need to cut her out of your life. Whatever pain and bad feeling that might cause, the long term consequences of nicotine are a lot worse.

Punish your son. Tell him you will be telling school, including that your nephew is involved. Your sister is happy for her son to break school rules and for your son to be exposed. That doesn’t mean you have to be.

Tell your sister you are going to ring the school unless he stops supplying the e-cigs to your son. If he then gets excluded it's her fault not yours. Your son is your only responsibility here, it's up to her to deal with the consequences of her poor parenting decisions.
