Change my vote to NO please. Sorry I misread the question.

vaping minors should not be shown on YouTube. IMO it harms our community's image. If Vendors are legally required to restrict sales to those of legal age, I don't want to see a bunch of minors vaping on the internet. An outsider would likely assume our e-cig vendors are irresponsible.

As long as there is an informational rapport with the offenders, so they know why they are being flagged, then I agree. I wish the flaggers were heavily busy in the cigarette smoking videos... maybe then there wouldn't be so many minors trying to quit smoking via the eCig. They've made their bed, now it's time to coff-in it.

To treat them like garbage for giving up cigarettes via the eCig, is IMHO, very inhumane.

Mine too.
Really should have read more closely.

If you can put a show on tv entitled "MOONSHINE", then why can't a minor post w/ an e-cig? Leave 'em alone.

I think its completely fine imo. Most people start smoking when underage anyways and no one seems to worry about that

 

[hairball]

Take them down. They are underage and breaking the law. Parents should be notified IF the parents even care what their child is doing.

 

[Scottinboca]

I say take them down! This is the crap that the government will use against us! Parents will see it and become the .......s trying to ban or heavily regulate our vendors and us as vaporers.

 

[Ghostc4]

I say take them down, not because they are underage(come one lets face it how many of us started smoking after the age of 18) but because this is the exact reason they are using to try and ban e-cigs.

I feel as though they should not be allowed to keep up their videos of ecig use. In my opinion, that would be just as bad as smoking cigarettes on a youtube video. Nicotine addiction isn't something to play around with.

I myself started my nicotine addiction at 14 by chewing Nicorette I was given by irresponsible older people. From there I moved on to cigarettes and cigars and ended smoking a PAD by an early age. I wish I could go back and slap some sense into my younger sense but c'est la vie.

What I think is sad though is the fact that the e-cigarette community as a whole is looked down upon when videos like that are posted. If you were to see a video on youtube with a minor either smoking or drinking, people would think the irresponsibility of the parents would be to blame but would never come close to saying that alcohol or smoking should be banned. That's why it's important that these videos be flagged and removed immediately, it's our responsibility as the underdog to report these instances.

did you vote NO in the poll at the top? I ask because its been at 20 since yesterday.

 

[thepassionofchad]

I don't see a huge deal. They're not cigarettes, its legal. People who flag videos because they just don't understand them or don't like them piss me off.
