As far as I know, this is not something my teens are doing. And I can be fairly sure about my oldest and near 100% sure about my middle (he’s just not out there being super sociable at the moment). My oldest does say that vaping is an issue at every high school he knows of. He’s in a private school and they don’t have issues with things like tik tok challenges, but certainly kids drink and vape and do other stupid things that are somewhat common across all demographics of teenagers. I did stupid things.
We’ve just sat and talked about this with him. He’s a two sport varsity athlete and stamina is a big deal for both sports. He is generally pretty healthy about what he does with his body and vaping is just terrible for that. There are things you can learn to do in moderation and things that are just not healthy in any capacity (vaping is in that category).
The best you can do is just talk with your kids about it and hope they have the will power not to follow the crowd. Unfortunately, teens are going to do stupid things…they won’t all do the same stupid things, but they will absolutely do stupid things.
