Surely once you become a parent you stop these things?

Does that halo not leave a massive dent in your forehead OP?

JumpNWave · 29/08/2022 20:11

I vape.

I don’t drink alcohol, though <shines halo>

And I try not to judge other people too harshly…

Sorry but who would actually sniff coke of their child’s book bag?! Come on now

Exactly, too wrinkly, you’re much better off with a hard flat surface! Anyone in their right mind would choose the reading book itself, no?

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.

How do they fill with wax?

There are 3 ingredients in vape liquid -four if you add a nicotine shot -propylene glycol,vegetable glycerine,and flavourings. No wax.

@riotlady my point exactly 😂😂

I go between smoking and vaping.
I don't blow it in my child's face, I have my couple min break outside by myself.
It's a wonderful break Halo

Do you drink alcohol? Alcohol can ruin lives. Surely when you become a parent you should give up something that destroys many more lives than a bit of vaping does.

Hancock9 · 29/08/2022 20:28

You judge alcohol more than vaping?

Better than parents who drink.

Wouldn't you?

I judge both

Along with smoking, taking drugs and whole host of other things

But to think vaping is worse than drinking is a bit odd

I do. Having lived with a drinker I'd rather a house filled with the smell of strawberry than the smell of Stella.

@SunshineClouds1 did you do it whilst you baby was tiny? Breastfeeding?

There are some vices which stop you parenting.

I judge at the school gates someone Smoking. However I'd report someone drinking alcohol at drop off/pick up!

LangClegsInSpace · 29/08/2022 20:36

Alcohol is far worse than vaping.

Problem drinking is worse than smoking.

Hancock9 · 29/08/2022 20:34

Nope, I didn't start smoking again until he was older. And I didn't bf

I don't judge either, because I'm not a judgemental fuckwit, but statistically if you look at devastation alcohol abuse can cause to families and kids, then you'd have to be a bit soft in the head to think vaping was worse. Vaping doesn't cause people to be violent, to neglect their children, to change their personalities, to be out of control of their actions, alcohol can be at the root of all these things and worse.

The outcry not from those with lungs bunged up by no longer liquid wax presumably

Mamai90 · 29/08/2022 20:47

I vape.

I couldn't give a shiny shite whether you or anyone else judges me for it. I find it really odd that you akin vaping to taking coke.

I don't drink since becoming a parent, but I don't judge others that do. And you think vaping is worse than drinking alcohol? Alcohol ruins lives, anyone can become an alcoholic, even later in life. There's really no comparison.

You sound like an absolute bell end 🙄

PeloAddict · 29/08/2022 20:47

I've been vaping for over 5 years, used it to quit a 30 a day smoking habit
My lungs are fine, my bloods are fine. It's been about for ages, I first tried one in 2013
My doctor approves and so does my haematologist so that'll do me. Cancer research and public health England also support them

SteerClear · 29/08/2022 20:49

Can we not have anything when we become parents?!!
Sorry be can't all your version of stepford parents.
Get over yourself.

BirmaBrite · 29/08/2022 20:50

The breathing chemicals into your lungs thing always amuses me, anyone who drives a car, or travels in a car, or walks/cycles around in a town or city where they may sit in or be close to traffic is breathing in lots of very bad chemicals into their lungs. So taking that argument that breathing bad stuff into your lungs is a choice that you shouldn't make, are you going to move into the middle of nowhere and stay there forever ?

MorganKitten · 29/08/2022 21:02

I judge you as a nosy rude person, mind your business (no I don’t vape)

Nope.

No smoke,no alcohol,no food (bar the bare minimum), no sex(unless it's scheduled, on a Saturday night with lights off and socks on) and so on.Grin
