I've given up hope (a lot of it) at this point. And anyone who does a modicum of research in the subject (non vapers do not) know these tactics are horrifically transparent. I wish they would just be honest about it at this point, you know: "We are destroying vaping using lies, because we hate vaping and also want to tax it as much as possible."
At least then, more vapers currently listening to the sweet Gottleib lies (and, I am an ANT) would have time to prepare.
It's a lot of work and money to stockpile, but I started on the day I read the deeming thread. It was kind of a "spend now, maybe not be able to SPEND later, or spend on expensive, horrible vapes later" situation for me. I don't regret a single credit card bill, they will be paid off faster than it will/would have cost me later, I am fairly certain. And at the moment, I only have a limited amount of time to "get creative" as it were.
So, yeah. Just say what is happening.
Most parents who think they have their "teens" under control don't not 100%. I mean, what is more important is responding APPROPRIATELY when your teen performs a dumb act, they all do THEY ALL do my sis's oldest kid, who was the best kid of all time is doing what I did in adolescence, acting out.. When my sis found a bottle of tequila under her bed, they responded appropriately, meaning the talked to their couples counselor about what to do (some can skip this step, LOL) sat her down, explained that she could not be trusted as her prefrontal cortex is not hooked up yet (teens HATE when parents say that, LOL). They also locked the liquor cabinet and said if things continued she'd have random UAs as needed.
Inappropriate parenting would have been to contact the ATF to demand the tequila be taken off the market. They did not do that,.
