To see aero bottles as a gateway to vaping?

Aero bottles are those with a smelly ring on top, smells come in many fruity flavours. The idea is that it 'helps' your kid drink more water, but I think the smell could be potentially habit-forming and lead to seek those same artificial smells and flavours, then available as vaping flavours. Am I being silly to think this?

Do you think? I would have thought parents of current and recent teens didn't have capes because they didn't exist yet?
Eh? Plenty of super hero's with capes have been around for donkeys years.
I love a cape, very warm and double as a blanket.

On a more serious note, a few years ago, i tried researching the chemicals used in the scented rings, it was really hard to find any information, and because it's not a food, there doesn't seem to be any kind of standard or safety testing, I don't know if it's changed as my teens aren't bothered about it anymore, but DS really wanted an air-up bottle two years ago.

That's like saying drinking apple juice is a gateway to cider.

Still today no ingredients are listed anywhere.
