I know this is hard for some of you to believe. But not all kids rebel. Some kids actually trust their parents and don't want to ruin their own lives. My sister and I were like this as a teens/young adults, so were my husband and his siblings. Not to mention that vaping is disgusting, and kids who run in competitive academic and athletic circles do not view it as cool. Its just something those "other" kids do.


That could not be further from the truth


This is not true. A lot of the athletes vape.

If you at all care and want to know the kid is vaping, it's not difficult to figure it out. But plenty of parents don't want to know.

Look in their school bag periodically. Look in their room periodically. Check their texts periodically. Just generally pay attention. Look for clues like hmm...why did my kid just go in his room with his friends with the door closed? They are not working hard to hide it if they're doing it.

Not 100%, but it's largely true in my circle. Vaping isn't "disgusting" at all though. It's not like smoking. It's just low class.


My teens think the fruity smell is disgusting.
