That is a bit disturbing to watch. They see an older sibling doing it and think it's cool. But kids will be kids and the only thing that has changed since I was their age is technology. It would be just as easy to attack the liquor industry as well. I use to sneak beers on a saturday night and the odd cigarette as a teen with my friends. We just didn't film it and put it on the internet cause there was no World Wide Web at the time lol.

I would not be vaping alone if not trying to quiting smoking cig's. I try and educate the children I come in contact with and or know that I'm using this device to quit smoking and try and take the cool factor away from it. Just me.

Okay, I'm ...... now, you vigilantes! The post above me? The first kid Blue e-cig test - YouTube. Quit smoking. Yeh, he's underage, he admits it, but his parents are helping him to quit smoking before his grandmother finds out he's been smoking.

Take the time to listen to him, he is not being "cool", he is being helpful to others in his same shoes. A pleasant note to him would be more helpful than just flagging for obscenities or whatnot. Ask him to take it down, & explain why. Give him a chance to do the right thing before flagging his account!

How ,many others are like thiis kid? I wish I would have seen this thread sooner.

Another on that same list is indeed 18 years old, and quit smoking via the eCigs. He started smoking when he was 11 years old. Eleven seems to be the magic number, I know it was for me personally too. (Actually 10).

Here, in this video, he explains all that, if you'd CARE TO LISTEN. Review of the victory electronic cigarette - YouTube.

It's a tough line to tread, given what a perilous position vaping is in legally at the moment. One the one hand, yes, anything that reduces underagers smoking themselves into an early grave is wicked; on the other, any indication, however tenuous, that vaping is the new cool for kids gives ammo to those trying to ban/limit it. Sad times.

This kid is brilliant :facepalm: Ryver West - YouTube
States he is underage in one of his videos.

OMG! This flagging is absurd. This kid is this kid. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q6OrA5ma9I
He is on the road to acting responsibly for the first time in his youth. He smoked like a chimney, he cusses like a sailor, he got his GF pregnant, he smokes a litte bit of rec stuff, and he was a racist.
After his GF got pg, he got engaged, to do the right thing. With a baby on the way, he stopped smoking by the only way that worked, Vaping. He is maturing at a high rate of speed, finally. He's not even racist anymore. He's not being "cool". He's growing up. I give him a silent kudos for maturing.
How is flagging, helping others to mature?
Do our research and take th higher road. Ask them to make their vids private, tell them why. Ask them to state their age in public view if they are 18 or older.
