Do you vape around your kids?

[RobG]

My kids understand that I'm doing this to help me stay way from cigs but they are also over 18

I do vape around my kids, they don't mind. My son actually asked me the other day why it smelled like blueberries around me

I do vape around my daugter but I try to limit how much. She is 3 and thinks its cool when I blow rings and such. My wife and I have explained it to her that this is for Mommy and Daddy and she isnt allowed to touch. She has been really good about it too so Im not too concerned.

Influence is my biggest concern, but, as others have mentioned, I feel like my kids get more benefit from realizing that I did something to get away from smoking.

I have my kids to thank for why I vape in the house without question. I switched to vaping after my oldest daughter said " Mommy I wish dad would quit smoking so he doesn't die" That pretty much started the wife saying your quitting whether you like it or not. So I bought my first Ego kit and told the kids how it works and why it was better but my wife while she was thrilled I was vaping said it's too much like smoking and you still need to do it outside. Well in one of those kids say the darnedest things moments my youngest daughter said " Mommy if vaping is so much better why does daddy have to do it outside. From that moment on I vaped in the house.

Just to add to my poll answer, I won't vape around any kids. The closest I'll vape is probably the other side of the street. I'm not concerned about what I'm exhaling, as far as the nic it's totally spent. I just won't.

Do parents drink in front of their kids? Probably. I don't see why they wouldn't vape, either. As long as they teach their kids the basics; smoking is bad, drinking in excess is bad, etc, then their children should just know not to pick up their e cigs like they wouldn't take a beer out of the fridge.

Despite the fact that I do not have kids yet I am visiting often my cousins and everyone of them has taken the task of procreating with gusto so I have a whole bunch of little cousins. And in general I try not to vape around. I am not so much worried about the harmful consequences as I am worried about being a bad example. E-cigs are not so cheap to get, but cigarettes are and it is a short step ...

I do, however I try to avoid blowing vape near or around them. When I smoked it was strictly outdoors only. Now I can relax around the house sit on the couch and enjoy!

I try not to vape around kids, just because the kids I'm around are 6 & under and don't understand the difference. Also, I don't want to unduly influence the kids in my life.

 

[wheelie]

Always vape around my kids. I even let my kids try my vapes. I have nothing to hide. My kids are in their thirties. my five grandkids I try not to vape around. LOL

 

[pmPalidin]

Have to agree with wheelie--fortunetly my kids live far,far away.

...new to vaping so its interesting to read what others do around kids.

...

With this in mind, this poll asks the question, do you vape around your kids?

...

Perhaps this Poll would be More Insightful if the Age of the "Kids" was Quantified?

When one looks at the Results, one Wonders what the Age Distribution of the Kids might be for say "Yes - No Problem"

Actually my kid(s) is a 3 year old Bassett Hound and she sometimes likes chasing a cloud.

I never smoked inside or in our cars, and never while my son was in the immediate area while outside. I do vape in all those situations though. A lot of my non-smoker friends let me vape inside at their place, I call it free air freshener. Who doesn't like walking into a room that smells like strawberries and banana nut bread?!

 

[dogmanactual]

my pops smoked cigarettes around me when i was a kid, and i never really minded it. it drove my ma nuts. she'd be ever so mad about it.
i think it probably led me to try cigarettes i'm sure. and finally 12 or so years after picking up smokes, i started vaping and have never looked back.
there's no place i won't vape. i shouldn't feel bad about it.

I vape all the time around my 13 yr old Daughter... she hates the smell of cigs to the point she has a hard time in the car with her grandmother. I do everything I can to let her know that ingesting anything into your lungs is not a great idea but she gets it and was very supportive of me when making the switch off analogs almost 3 years ago.

 

[drumdog024]

Yes. And I have no problem doing it as they understand vaping is healthier than smoking and they are happy that i finally quit smoking.
