I agree. I would not hide it from them. I was just expressing frustration over the seeming inability of some folks to go without it for a period of time when it would be appropriate to do so. There were times when I smoked analogs that I had to go without for several hours in a row, surely we can do the same with PV's when needed...........

APPLAUSE! I never hid smoking from my kids. Why would I do that? My feeling is that should I have become ill with a disease caused by smoking, I would have double-whammied them with both the lie about who I am and the illness. I believe in full disclosure between myself and my kids. How else could I then expect honesty from them especially as they hit the critical teen years. Interestingly, neither my 20 year old daughter or my 16 year old son have ever shown even a slight interest in smoking. They also never lectured me. They rarely mention the e cigarette just like they never mentioned the real thing. If you want your kids to tell you things so that you can be there for them when they are older and may need your support, then you had better make that possible by being honest about who you are. I learned that lesson the hard way after growing up in a family where mistakes were not tolerated. When I needed help as a young person, I avoided my family at all costs. I did not want that for my kids.
you see kids. This is the battery. The battery screws into the atomizer. The atomizer goes into the 36mg nicotine cartridge. When you puff on the cartridge, the battery activates and heats up the atomizer which in turn turns the nicotine into a vapor which is inhaled and makes the world a much better place to live. I thought I saw a quarter in the road.

i just explained it to my brother yesterday.he is 11 i told him it was to help me quit smoking, and that it was safer the a cig but still not 100% safe
Nuck you crack me up LOL hahaha chuckle chuckle lmao whatever! Just plain F..n Funny
Just to follow up...snuck in a few quick vaping sessions on the side of the house, managed to stay unnoticed by the kids except for my one little cousin who said MIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
But I just decided to change the subject fast instead of parenting and explaining. I said Nothing! Let's go play basketball!
No mention of anything after that lol. Kinda think that was the best way for the situation.

Mike - From a parent to a possible future parent... wonderful job!
And for the record, no... I don't condone hiding the truth from your own children, but as a parent, I would prefer to teach my children the truth. And in our house, that truth is very blunt.
Who knows... that young cousin may have "caught" Mike, but now that child can ask mom and dad what he was doing and they can discuss it with them as they see fit. Whether they tell that child the truth is up to them, but it isn't really Mike's place to do so. So good job Mike.
20 little maniacs running around screaming for 6 straight hours was enough birth control to last for 20 years!8-o
