To snoop in 15Yr teen room if suspect vaping?

[Flowerpot36]

DD acted suspicious last night and sprayed a lot of perfume before she let me enter her room
it smelt very sweet and immediately asked if she had been vaping which she denied
i looked in her coat pocket this morning and found this weird little plastic thing?
Also I want to have a nosey in her room whilst she is out but feel I might be crossing a line
Weird long little plastic funnel has B Braun written on it and comes up on shein as a herb funnel?

What will you do if you find evidence of vaping?

Confront her and speak to her to discourage it. I want to find it more so I know I am definitely barking up right tree

I’m not sure it makes much difference though.

It’s probably a better conversation if you don’t know and it’s certainly better if she doesn’t find out you’ve been snooping in her room.

I’d say - I know a lot of kids your age are vapping. This is why it’s a terrible idea (not in exactly these words ).

I don’t think anything is gained by snooping but potentially you jeopardise the relationship.

I think , yes.
She's still young enough where you can take the position of having to look as she appeared dishonest. I would put the items on the table and ask her to sit down and explain. I'd also give info for her to read then and there about vaping and smoking in general. I'd say it isn't cool, it doesn't look cool and in fact looks utterly stupid. I'd then say it is her choice at this point as you can't control her, but under no circumstances is it to be done under your roof or with your money. So, I would stop giving pocket money and only directly buy items needed now.

Snooping in her room will only cause a row an upset.
could you not just ask her? Tell her you are suspicious and you’d rather she didn’t vape and the dangers etc? That conversation can be had whether you snoop or not. It’s your house and you can do what you want but it won’t help the relationship with your child, some good well researched information and time together chatting about it might be enough to discourage it if she knows you know.

Can you post a picture of it OP?

I can’t figure out how but she told her sister it’s not to do with vaping it’s something she got at hospital when visiting a relative recently.
Now I am having doubts and she is really upset apparently. Shes out at the moment.
now I feel like I have made an error
Although, I still think it’s weird she sprayed loads of perfume before I walked in and made me wait outside whilst she did.
I heard her and her friends trying out a vape last year at her birthday which is why I am a bit on guard about it.
I don’t know now!
I think will still talk to her and say sorry if I am wrong but I was just really worried as I know the damage it can do

Update, now she hates me. Very upset with me for not believing her and won’t talk to me

At least happy if I am wrong and she’s not vaping

but feel like rubbish mum and think I have made a massive error

But she hasn't explained which seems to indicate she is hiding something from you.
If nothing to hide why wasn't it, Oh, no mum. It was X, not a vape. 🤔
I think the dramatics are a ruse. 🕵️

It’s not a rubbish mum to call out suspicious behaviour. Your daughter could be manipulating you with this, teens are very good at that.

the behaviour was weird and you are right to be suspicious - trust your gut.

I wouldn’t bother snooping, I’d just have a conversation about vaping and how it’s popular in her age group and the concerns I have. Don’t break trust, build a good relationship through open communications.
