I dont have any children (yet) but my wifes niece who is 3 I always stealth vaped around. Today i just vaped infront of her and of course it was DON NO PUFFIN, but after i told her it was "good" for me she kept asking me DON PUFF INSIDE PUFF INSIDE.
I still stick with the "I follow the rules of smoking" thing. I do vape inside, even though I didn't smoke, but not near the kids. I did at one point, and they thought the vape smelled good and asked if they could taste it. That was enough to keep me away from them with this. I even told them that when they hear us say a particular juice is "good" we mean better than smoking, but still not good. I don't want them to see this as ok....
Good question...I have the pre-teen nieces coming for a visit next week. I guess I will follow the smoking principle and keep it out of sight. I will have to tell them to stay out of my juice drawer in the kitchen though!
yes i would and do for sure. i will say both of my children vape as well and are 20 and 23 though and the youngest quit the nasties to vape like me. i vape where i am most all of the time and if im gonna vape i dont hide it. i do have common sense and dont vape say in church or in the school i work at except in the break room while school is in session. after school is out i vape where i please. i do vape around my grand kids also. now if i was at someones house or business and they ask me not to vape i wouldnt, i may not stay long but i would follow their rules while there.
S3anvap3s (sir or Ms.?) have no kids, but do vape around my dogs. Never smoked infront of them. Have friends with kids, parents have no issues with my vaping around them, so why should I? Kids are going to take up smoking if they want no matter what studies show, parents say etc. My family was very anti-smoking, didn't stop me from going through 2+ pad for 9 years. If vaping around them shows them a far healthier alternative to smoking while still satisfying that want, how is that a bad thing?
i vape around my stepson but i'm not proud of it. i wish he didn't have to see any of it at all. no vaping, or smoking. i feel like a child not being able to explain it to him in a way i know he won't understand. period.
My son is 12 and yes I vape around him, in my home. I don't feel that it is a health risk to him and I know it is better for my health than smoking.....it's not a bad thing that I vape. I never smoked around him though, that I would take away from him and outside. He was aware that I was a smoker, I wasn't a closet smoker or anything, but I just wouldn't smoke next to him. If we were in the car together I wouldn't smoke in the car. Will I vape in the car with him? Yes, not chain vape as it can get foggy but I'd vape a little.
not saying its right or wrong but given the choice id much rather vape in front of my kids than drink say a beer or any alcoholic beverage in front of them... i would do that too but just sayin if i had to choose one or the other.
i vape everywhere i go and i havent had 1 parent complane yet, some ask what it is and i explane and they smile and say "oh thats cool!" so must not be that big of deal.
Well, I just had a baby and I vape around her. But I am concerned when she gets older what she will think. I don't really know how I am going to handle it. I don't want to be one of those "do as I say, not as I do" kind of people.
I don't vape around my kids. I am sure there is nothing to worry about but any amount of risk is not worth it to me. It's easy for me to go to the other room.
I have a 5 year old and I vape in my house. I dont vape in his face or anything...I mostly vape in my room but I dont hide it. He knows mommy just quit smoking and this gives mommy medicine so I wont smoke. The other day I had a craving and he overheard me telling someone about it. He came over to me (with his big beautiful eyes) and said, "Mommy you cant smoke again because then you wont be able to come near me." My heart melted and I said, "your right baby, no worries mommy is gonna stick to her fake cigarette with medicine." He hugged me tight! He motivates the crap out of me. I dont see any reason to hide what I'm doing from him.
A very good point here. I've noticed my children getting more and more interested in what mommy and daddy are doing. My 2 and half year old boy is actually walking around with his toy thermometer in his mouth acting like he's vaping. We always store the juice securely and make sure he can never get his hands on the PV itself either. Thanks for your response!!!
How sweet! I can't think of any better motivation than that! Vape on, vaper!!!
That response is exactly why I started this thread. I have two boys: 8 and 2 yrs old. The 8 year old is just proud that we're doing something that isn't dangerous like smoking, but my 2 yr old is mimicking the act of vaping using his toys. I haven't vaped around him since I saw him doing that but my wife says its safe right? So why shouldn't I?
To my knowledge there are no studies on "second hand vape". Has anyone read or heard anything about it?
