Vapes in schools

[AEV Jeep Guy]

Where are these kids getting theses vapes from? Seems like everyone in high school has one.

 

[Rookie]

Every gas station sells them

I would be surprised if you could not get them in a vending machine at school .......

Probably being marketed by Thoracic Surgeons!
I think the condition is referred to as "Popcorn Lungs"
Of course, I believe Dentists invented Caramel Corn. lol

I have caught my kids with vapes. Other kids are selling them. I bet some deadbeat parents are providing them to sell to make a profit

I mean pretty naive to think anything going into your body doesn’t have some type of affect…… there is unhealthy water.

But yea dead beat parent / older sibling / older friend is buying them to sell for a profit to the under age kids.

“Vapin’ in the boys room
We're vapin' in the boys room
Nah, teacher don't you fill me up with your rule
'Cause everybody knows that vapin' ain't allowed in school.”

Earworm for your day. You’re welcome.

The story in that second link reads like an ad for vaping.

I know I have mentioned in other threads I worked at a High School running their In School Suspension room for several years after I retired. Had lots of students there for vaping, it was a big problem and the school did their best to discourage it.
Found vapes on them in my room for getting caught with vapes. Some cases it was just a passing teenager rebellion thing, others a serious addiction. Had one several times for vaping, caught him again twice with one in my room. He eventually went to jail for robbing a store of a couple thousand dollars of vapes. He was very much addicted.

Most times they came from older siblings or parents. I don't smoke but believe it is your choice as an adult. Have a couple friends gone from the effects of smoking. We just need to give the kids a good start until they decide for themselves.

Rant off, Don

Well said, children should not be making this decision. Once they turn 18 , it’s their choice to vape or not to vape.
