It may have stopped them getting into the stinkies though.
Yesterday I was having preventative maintenance done on my truck.
Got to having a reminiscent discussion with the shop manager.
As he smokes back to back cigs he mentions he's peeved about his 15 yr old son vaping.
Says the boy doesn't even use nicotine.
Says he doesn't understand, the boy never even smoked.
He just does it to show off.
I mention it's a whole lot safer alternative.
Then point out that with dad as the prime example, without vaping he'd likely be a smoker.
He says "yeah, but what's next?".
Says if someone vaping was able to influence him, he'll be faced with peer pressure again.
And how's that going to go?
Valid point. It's his kid.
Except we're not there yet and dad is already pushing him away being stubborn and angry.
This should be a time of open discussion.
The first "mistake" has already been made. On both parts.
And the boy has already been hiding the least harmful substance he could be partaking in.
There's a barrier there that needs to be broke down lest the boy get too deep into the next substance for dad to help.
At least this one is nearly harmless and easy to quit.
A perfect practice run and chance for bonding and education.
