My kids are thr Advocates! They firmly support vaping for ADULT use! Because they know that vaping saves lives they see it daily for their stepfather their mother their aunt their uncle, and our friends! #parentyourkidsnotmyrights #WeVapeWeVote

You're missing the real problem. Cigarettes kill. So long as they are on the market, flavored Ecigs should not be banned. Teens who #vape Ecigs instead of smoke cigs greatly reduce their risk of dying prematurely. By not explaining this to teens, you are killing them. #PMTAReform

I absolutely have talked to kids (I don't have kids of my own) about how vaping is 95% less harmful than cigarettes, that Vitamin E Acetate in illegal THC cartridges are the issue, and that government agencies lie to their citizens. Anything else?

I’ve spoken with my niece & nephew, with parental approval, and I didn’t use your site, nor could I use the CDC or FDA websites because I presented facts only. When they are older, I will explain who was on the right side of the e-cig debate, and we will laugh at you & the others

I certainly have and they are so grateful that I vape!! Seriously though, what about combustible cigarettes? Or don’t you care about that?? Why are e-cigarettes such an issue for you? Is it the money?

Way more importantly talk to your kids about; -suicide which is responsible for 11% of youth deaths every year. -alcohol which kills appr 3,400 youth/yr. -illicit drug use including tainted black market THC carts killing people across the country. -cigarettes 1,300 deaths/day

Spoke to my child about everything. That’s why she never drank alcohol, smoked or did drugs. I never gave her money without receiving a receipt back. I also kept her so busy she didn’t have time to get into mischief. Just a Parent being a parent. It’s a New concept... I guess.

As an ex-smoker of 25 years, now smoke free 5 years, my kids are HAPPY I used vape to quit smoking. Strawberry smells better than burning tobacco. And oh yeah, I am not sick all the time. Neither are they. #quitlying

Hindsight is 20:20. But any reasonable person would be able to conclude that breathing in chemicals (vaping) wasn’t good for health. Also, vape companies were ‘geniuses’ to add nicotine and call it a smoking cessation product. Too bad @US_FDA didn’t ban vape from inception.
