Where are all the teens getting the money from to buy vapes. Which jobs are all those 13-15 year olds doing to fund their habit or are they being enabled by their parents?

I heard a young teenage girl state recently that she 'didn't smoke regular cigarettes because she couldn't stand the smell and it was bad for your health but vaped because she like the taste'!
Do these people NOT realise that the flavouring and the actual vapour contains chemical?? Why would anyone willingly want to put that into their body??

Or in a case I know of enabled by the grandmother who knew full well that the child’s father disapproved of his child vaping.

I did notice it was an old post.

Where do they get the money - from their parents, who permit them to spend as they wish. It’s cool to vale just as it was cool to smoke.

The government permitted vapes to be sold, maybe a few are used to help giving up smoking, the vast majority are not.
