Found nicotine based vaping kit

[despondentatwork]

Wasn't snooping-she knew I was in her bag but I found the above.

Dud by say anything at the time-we we're at at competitive event she lost, wasn't the right time.

Showed them to her after a day or so...'but mine-I was looking after them for someone else'.

Background-trust already broken in various ways. Constantly pushing boundaries & not taking school as seriously as she needs to. GCSE year.

Ways

You could say well in which case you won't mind taking a nicotine test. Pee tests on Amazon are cheap. Depends if you want to go this far.

I can think of worse things

In what other ways is she pushing boundaries?

Op there are much worse things you could find in her bag.

Really can't see why you are so bothered. Pretty much all kids will try vaping / smoking / weed / alcohol at some point. Vaping is the least of all the evils imo. "Pushing boundaries" is completely normal behaviour and what all children growing up do 🤷‍♀️

Just tell her you are disappointed and hope she's not going to let that phase last too long. Then move on.

These disposable vaping things are crazy among teens at the minute. Although I agree that there are worse things you could find, nobody is educating kids on how bad these cheap versions are for you. I know plenty of people who vape with proper equipment and have seen no health issues (yet!!) but I'm specifically talking about the disposable kind.

There was a recent article about the way they're manufactured, which is essentially that they're incredible cheaply done. It said that compartments in the disposable vapes are too close together and known to leak meaning it's possible to inhale battery acid along with the vapour.

To our disbelief, our DD(15) asked us if she could have one, but without nicotine!? Errrr....no!!

As for the 'I'm looking after it for a friend' that was my go to line if my parents found a packet of cigarettes when I was in my teens

My two 19 year old boys both vape "Geek Bars", disposable, brightly coloured things, with many sickly flavours. They are about a fiver each. These things

I can see the draw amongst teens - the colours and flavours are just a step away from sweets. You open the box, inhale it and youre away, binning it when its finished a few days later.

Seems so wrong that teenagers are targeted, but they are going to do it no matter what.

Thx all-mortified by all the typos in my OP. Was on phone & in a rush. A few days have passed & I can see more reason. I'm a Nurse, always talking about the health risks so she's well aware how bad these kind of things are.
WRT previous boundary pushing; she has tried alcohol, has been out at 04:00 in a village with friends whilst at sleepovers, and lies to my face about lots of small & big things. Her level of maturity is low & I always wonder what she's really up to when she tells me she's going somewhere or doing somethings as she's lied so many times before. I guess I know all these things are normal, but I hate the fact that I feel like I can't believe what she tells me.
I's rather she was more mature when she does try things that I think are risky behaviours.
