wish ecigs were around back then

people may say yeah he is 14 which is a no no .. why wait another 4 years to get that clean help do it now

[VapingBad]

There should be a certification system for minors that have been smokers to be allowed to vape, it could be done via GPs and smoking cessation services.

VapingBad think that is the best way forward am sure there will be against it even ex smoker but am sure 99% of them ex smokers never waited till the age you could buy them stinkys

[whiteclouds]

lets be reasonable, he shouldn’t be smoking in school and he shouldn’t be vaping there either, however much I agree vaping is better than ciggies you cant expect a school to allow it, I dont agree with them keeping his vape kit that should be returned at the end of the school day to his mum with the advice it doesn’t come into school.

[Bobsbeer]

I suppose I can understand both sides of the argument, but I think I come down on the side of the school. I noticed that they say he started smoking again, which I don't understand as the school returned the e cig. Okay he can't vape at school, but he can't smoke either, so why smoke out of school?

[Chrissie]

I also come down on the side of the school & as Bobsbeer says his e-cig was returned to him but he has started smoking again -

But now since going back to school he is back on normal cigarettes again, despite having the e-cigarette returned to him.

Lol, that kind of makes it a typical Sun non story

Like the saying says..." rules is rules"
Still I'm sure that there will be more to it than was reported..........after all, just look at the source!

Lol charon - snap, re the source.

Mind you I think in this case there is less to it & it wasn't even worthy of a report - unless it was a dig at e-cigs.

[Bobsbeer]

I'm sure there are loads of ecigs confiscated at schools up and down the country along with packets of fags.. Not sure why this gets into the news.

My Thoughts;

he is 2 years older than my son.....I would thank the school and drag him home by his ear. 14 year old needs vaping to give up smoking, my arse.....

I agree.

It's school for chrissake.

And he's under age for nicotine.

There's no way it should be a different rule for him.

The way to stop a 14 year old smoking..........is to stop his f***ing pocket money!!!

[Chrissie]

Press release -

14 year old in trouble for smoking. Mum buys him an e-cig, so he thinks it's Ok to use it at school where he can't smoke - it's not OK.

Lol, I guess that version isn't sensational enough

And that's why you'll never work for the Sun Chrissie
