Those are kids who need more and better supervision by their parents.  Which, coincidentally, is what OP's son needs right now until he changes his behavior.  OP, there has been a lot of talk about your son but I think that you also need to look at his friend group and also his activities.  Peer pressure is awfully hard to resist.

One way to lessen the influence of the peer group is by talking to him about it.  Read the book [i]Masterminds and Wingmen[/i].  It is a book about peer pressure and other issues, and how to help your boy navigate through it all.  It is written by the same woman (Rosalind Wiseman) who wrote the seminal book [i]Queen Bees and Wannabees[/i] about relational aggression and girls.

Your son is going to need some help getting through and past this.  It won't be one and done by confiscating the materials.  You will need to help him so be prepared for it.  That isn't a bad thing just something to recognize.

Good luck.  And don't back down about the vaping![/quote]
