Does your teen or DC in their 20's vape?

Does your teen/DC in their teens or 20’s vape? Our DD (she lives away at uni) vapes and refuses to stop and insists it’s not bad for her health when it is!

No, non smoking non drug household

Nope. They don't drink either. 21 and 19.

21,23,26 and nine of them do it. All scientists though who understand how awful they are.

Yes. My ds is 15 and he vapes. He has done now for about a year. I went ballistic when I first found out grounded him, stopped all money but ive gave up now as I felt it was damaging our relationship as I was constantly shouting and getting angry about it.

We just had a long chat this morning actually about him quitting he says it’ll be really hard as all his friends vape and his girlfriend so he’ll be around it constantly.
Ive even offered to help him by getting him NRT.

I hate it it makes me so sad that he does it.

Seem to have taken my comment very much to heart! Not sure why it’s upset you so much. Public forum, they can say what they like, as can I.

No, my two are quite anti, thankfully.

No. But DD tried it and then decided it was too expensive.

I just think you’re nasty and wanted to let you know 😂 you know, because it’s a public forum. Have the Christmas you deserve.

Our DD refuses to stop vaping! She lives away at uni but refuses to stop vaping! Me and DH have tried to get her to stop but she still vapes and refuses to stop!

We have told DD too that it’s bad for her health but she still refuses to stop vaping.

She’s an adult, you can’t make her do anything and tbh the more you push the more likely she will continue.

DS20 has been vaping since he was 16 - secretly at first. We have always said no to vaping at home and have always expressed concern about the health implications.

He has tried a few times to stop and this time seems very focused on doing so. Unfortunately his GF also vapes and is refusing to give up which makes it harder for DS but he is still trying hard.

Yes

Yes.

But!

I've smoked cigarettes with intent for 35 years.

They will probably kill me.

I.

Love.

Nicotine.

How do you plan to “never allow it”?
Easy to say but hard to do.

I’ve never smoked and rarely drink more than a unit or two a month .
One of mine never would drink or smoke. The other one, since going to uni about 6 years ago (and living away ever since) has been a drinker (often to enormous excess) drugs (various) smoking and now vaping.
I refuse to allow any of those things if they are visiting my home for the day or staying overnight. But beyond these this roof it’s impossible to enforce.

My 26yo doesn’t, far too sensible.

Yes. 18 and 20. Idiots.

My son 23 does and so does his girlfriend 20. As a secondary teacher I reckon 50% of them are vaping in school. It’s a huge problem.

Mine don’t. 21 and 19

I have a challenging 14.5 year old boy who has had so so much trauma this year and have been so stressed recently about this exact thing....but feel you on this.....so so so much shouting, slamming doors and arguments and I just can't any more......all of his peers do it, they're always finding a way to do it. I stopped giving him any money at all and I still know he's finding a way
So I've reopened conversations and stopped shouting, because I want to know where he's getting it, and from who....I've reported 2 shops locally who serve him....it's more scary to me to have him close down conversation at the moment in our situation

I reported shops too but I also found out that he could easily find people on snapchat who would sell them to him and his friends.
He told me once that he and his friends arranged through snapchap to meet a random man in Morrisons carpark who would sell them out the boot of his car.
So bloody scary!
