To judge parents who vape

Surely once you become a parent you stop these things?

Or you could parent your children how you see fit and not expect everyone to live up to standards you set in your head? Just a thought.

I'm a parent and about to nip outside my office for a cigarette.

What do the two have to do with each other?

vodkaredbullgirl · 29/08/2022 11:44

Here we go again, ideally yes.

SlashBeef · 29/08/2022 11:44

Huh?

vodkaredbullgirl · 29/08/2022 11:46

But it's their choice.

SuReLy OnCe YoUr A pArEn - stfu. It's a vape not a crack pipe, life is stressful lots of people need a vice to feel better. Yours is being judgemental.

Fucking hell this shit again. What is the problem with vaping fgs? Bit confused by the linking of it with being a parent. There's nothing special or extraordinary about reproducing.

In a perfect world, there are lots of things parents do that they should stop when they have children, so not sure why you've focused on vaping.

The person I know who vapes is using it to give up smoking and does it when her dc are in bed so I don't think that's too scandalous is it.

So you stop doing anything risky?
So no alcohol, no vaping or smoking, no sports, no driving, no fair grounds, no crossing the road not at a crossing and on and on and on.

We all make our own risk assessments.

Judge away, nobody cares 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mind your business

lailamaria · 29/08/2022 18:50

ahh yes because once you become a parent you also become a nun, vaping is nothing compared to parents who have to have a glass of wine everyday to even function imo

Annieisalright · 29/08/2022 18:51

YANBU

But then again I judge people for a lot more than that

Only on MN do people pretend to never judge anyone for anything

I've seen what vapes do to your lungs. They literally fill with wax. You're breathing in liquid wax. I don't understand why they're not banned. One day there will be an outcry.

This is dangerous misinformation. It would be hilarious if it were not for the fact that rubbish like this puts smokers off from switching to a much, much safer habit.

Not misinformation. I work in medicine and have seen the xrays and scans & the patients having treatment.

Interesting. So are there any published sources to back this up? Since you'd think with all of these people vaping for years now, it would have come up.

@lll3333
You are talking absolute rubbish. Please refer to the latest research by Cancer Research . I'm sure you can Google it yourself but if you can't manage that I will reference it 🙄

Parents can do what they like, each to their own. However I do think in about 10 years time the shit is going to hit the fan. I simply cannot understand his people think vaping chemicals directly into your mouth and lungs is safe. I'm also a massive snob and think vaping is as common as fuck, shoving a bit of plastic in your mouth every 5 seconds - yeuch.

YABU. DH started smoking cigarettes when he was 13, and managed to switch to vaping when I was pregnant. I’m really grateful that he managed to do that for his health, and to protect DD and I from second hand smoke. Vaping isn’t totally ideal, but it’s much better and he doesn’t do it around DD.

How bloody sanctimonious. Get a life and worry about your own family.
