The Wright Stuff!

Ann Diamond is on the show today, she has just told us that at her sons school the latest thing is to Vape 'behind the bike shed' kids that don't smoke are buying them , including her own son!

This is not good news .

Who is selling them to kids.

And what did Anne have to say about it?

[Jen]

Although it is contentious, I've seen kids as young as 11 smoking (and drinking, and other stuff). If they're going to do it, I'd much rather they vaped instead. It's not ideal, but we don't live in a utopia either!

I presumed they get someone to buy them 18 +. She was not upset about it but then again she is not anti- vaping, as for who is sellling them, anywhere that 18+ can buy cigs.

I guess in a sense, kids vaping isn't doing damage to the kids as much as it is damage to peoples perceptions of vaping (especially the already sceptical ones)

I'd be looking at E-Shisha pens to lay the blame on this. Flavoured,no nic and kids(young teens) are always asking me if that's what mine is

[dannyw14]

that's the problem with things being marketed as a fashion accessory like the e-shisha seems to be

[ckc]

Yes,i'd never heard them called that till recently,i'd say the past month or so.i went and searched on-line for them,i can't say i liked what i saw.

[dannyw14]

my wife came across an advert for them on facebook and it looked more like an advert for a nightclub

[tillis]

I didn't even know E-shisha pen existed until I read this post and Googled.

The gateway to smoking as anti-vapers would call it.

Oh dear, where do they get the money?

If they didn't smoke before and they are vaping (with nic I assume) then they do smoke now.
Kids will be kids though and since when have they done what they should, most of us didn't.

At least they aren't using tobacco in this instance so it's not harming them as much.

Still... Not really helping our cause.
Stuff like this is going to be picked up by the EU committee (I suspect they are much quicker to pick up on anti vaping media than pro) and used against us.

I always managed to get money for cigs when I was at school and vaping is cheaper.
Won't be hard for them to fund their habit.
