If you want a prop then use a Prop...like a white stick or something.
Plus I thought the whole smoking on film was a Huge nono these days, let alone kids doing it.
The "vaping community" already has enough bad press, and nasty politics going on about the "flavors" being made only to incite children into being addicted to nicotine.
It's one of the reason the "anti's" are wanting to ban ecigs for everyone.
Suggesting they use one, even in a pretend on stage only kinda way isnt going to go over well. As it threatens the legal availability for people who really need this.
The oral sensation of inhaling and exhaling smoke...or vapor. Is a very different need from the oral sensation of wanting something in your mouth to play with or chew on.
Try gum, peppermint sticks, lemon drops, carrots.
I see what your going for...but I dont think this what your looking for
Well said Rose. Many of us take our right to vape very seriously. It is a way to kick tobacco. Our rights have been in jeopardy time and again. I would never recommend an e-cig to a nonsmoker, especially on the premise that it may be used for "kids".
