Melatonin Vapes

DD13 sleeps very badly but won’t take tablets. She mentioned a melatonin vape ( she currently vapes anyway) but I think doctors don’t prescribe them under 16. Has anyone had experience of these? I’m currently being guilt tripped because I’m refusing to buy her any kind of vape & it will be my fault if she starts smoking again. Mistress of manipulation!

A quick google search will tell you everything you need to know.

Go to Biovea online and buy melatonin gummies. My DS has melatonin prescribed but he prefers these (they don’t prescribe them like this in uk but perfectly legal to buy online)

Of course I can google but it was more advice about the general situation

Loads of kids vape. Dd was asked by other kids if she wanted to vape at school (She was 11 at the time; no difference to the kids that used to smoked under age when I was at school).
Technically it's illegal, but no one seems to give a crap. The reality is vaping hasn't been around long enough to collect the data to know if it causes a significant risk of developing lung cancer, although most recent research suggests it's not harmless, but not as harmful as cigarettes.
However a quick google would tell OP that vaping melatonin has led to lung damage (in one case catastrophically so) and it's absolutely not recommended to inhale it.

My original post was ‘hidden until mumsnet have had a look’ too - is there a trigger word in this thread or something - ?? @mumsnet?
