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.

It's a tough line to be polite and compassionate? I don't agree.

Vaping - YouTube

Please flag and thumbs down.

We need to get thiss off youtube.

I believe the intent of the original poster was to flag "under age vaping" videos on youtube.

So are people intentionally policing youtube for vapers looking for anyone who looks or appears to be a minor?
I don't have that kind of time and if I did; I wouldn't.

Too bad the intent isn't to tally up the smokers who quit smoking by switching over to the simulator called the eCig.
This thread, so far, seems to help with those stats, however. :)

Why not under age drinking, sex, smoking, ahems, cussing, nudity, bombs making, bullying, ...
Wait, I notice those dont have many safer alternative videos up. We're they flagged as well? Apparently.

Don't fall into the trap. It's not our job To protect the children from every adult pleasure.

Think of the endless list of stuff that you would have to stamp out on YouTube.

Teenager gets drunk on peach schnapps and pukes all over the Principal school dance. Let's bring back prohibition.

14-year-old takes dad's car out and runs over a mailbox while changing the channel on XM to find Justin Bieber. Let's ban cars and satellite radio.

A high school kid smoked a Montecristo cigar. (With the money he made in eight months of working at Burger King in order to afford it ) Let's ban all cigars.

Some kid cracked his skull open doing a trick on a skateboard. Ban skateboards and that video from YouTube.



A kid did _____ (fill in the blank with your example)


This is a ruse. When all else fails use the "" it's for the chilruns.

This was supposed to be an adult conversation and an adult product.

I agree, but the more we take off youtube - the less ammo ANTZ has. Believe me I actually could not care less about what these kids do - but we are in a time where Antz & cronies are looking for ANY excuse to ban Ecigs.

"The more we take off YouTube"...... My problem with this is some people aren't even bothering to watch and LISTEN to the videos. Just decide someone is under 18 (and some of them haven't been; just look young) but are being "flagged."

The other reason I'm not going to do this is you flag 1 and another 50 appear. I'm not the vape police.
