Wow everyone on here saying it’s not her place… I hope if/when you become a grandparent you don’t find yourself in a situation like this where you are worried or concerned for your grandchildren bc their parents are idiots… then we’ll see if you’d feel you should stay out of it!! I don’t care how old my children get, as long as I’m alive I’m still mom & I would definitely say something! This is wrong on so many levels.

I always say… When my sons are 14/15 I will legitimately put a smoke and alcohol in his hands. Let him feel what it does. I was a horrible teenager. Did everything behind my mom’s back. I could have died on so many occasions.
I’m not saying it’s right, but I’ll rather they do things in front of me rather behind my back.
Coz let’s face it, they are going to do whatever they want anyway no matter what you say or do.

Coming from an X-ray tech, popcorn lungs are real. Anyone saying not to intervene is putting the parents comfort above the safety of the children. Get involved and if the parents are truly okay with it, then cps needs to be involved. We are to protect our children and though they often fail, the purpose of cps is the keep kids safe. I would do some research, print out articles or send them articles if you need to so that they are educated on the dangers of vaping. They won’t be able to say that you’re just being paranoid/nosy etc. if you have solid evidence. If they still don’t do anything to stop it then I would call the law. I’m not sorry at all either 
… give them a real opportunity to fix it but if they don’t, you love those kids and their safety comes before their feelings.

Illegal for one till they are 21 at least and what kinda parents allow teenagers to make those kind of decisions. Not only is it worst then smoking it has been proven to kill kids

It makes me sick to think a lot of young kids are doing it, the long term affects are still unknown 
I expressed my opinion and. dislike. but had to let it go after that
Ehhh, this one is kinda tricky. The fact that you asked our advice first let’s me know your not a meddling grandmother, just concerned about your grandsons. I would pull my grandsons to the side and maybe speak to them about the dangers of vaping, there’s nothing wrong with talking to your grandsons, depending on yalls relationship

There’s a very good chance these parents could not know how serious it could be. Unless you have absolutely no faith in that I would talk to them first.
Speak up for those kids! My 11 year old and I were in the emergency room at hospital where we met a 14 year old with severe chemical burns on his lungs from vaping… I don’t think my kid will ever vape after seeing that…
Isn’t vaping illegal under 18? If the parents are allowing it, I’d be getting the authorities involved. It’s no different than supplying minors with alcohol or cigarettes. I would definitely say something to the other mom. That’s endangerment ofa minor. Smfh why are some people able to have kids???

Just mention to the parents since they don’t give a crap how harmful vaping can be and it will lead to lung disease… the same as smoking. Otherwise stay out of it, it’s the parents place not yours.
Vaping is really bad it even causing new lung issues. There is a reason you have to be 21 here for it. I’d say something
You have to be 21 to buy nicotine products. Definitely step in and say something. Thru could legally get in trouble for providing it to the kids. Same thing with alcohol basically, you supply you better be willing to pay the price.

No, you are in the right to be worried about those boys and to step in and do something about it. Obviously their parents dont care about their child’s health. They are 13 and 14 years old and shouldn’t be smoking or vaping. Also there is research to show that vapes are actually doing more damage to your lungs than smoking.
If the parent don’t want to take it seriously I’d report it. Those that sell or give to minors here are getting child abuse charges.

But let their doctor know without letting your kids know you did
I’d tell her. This can be dàngerous in the long run.
They put a picture of a 18 old in the hospital with tube down his throat. From vaping. The thing is you can put nicotine in it a day flavor you have to change a part in it and they say if you get nicotine on your fingers it’s bad for you you can go to a vape shop they will explain it. I got the equipment for my son he’s like a two pack a da smoker. It made him sick. So he’s back on cigarettes it’s better for you to know what your talking about
Is it a vape that actually contains nicotine, or is it the liquid flavor with NO nicotine? I mean really in the end it doesn’t matter because of the routine that could become habitual, but in the sense of legality, it is a very important distinction.
Stay out of it. You’re gonna cause more issues
The parents need to take the kids to a Doctor to explain the negative health impacts, I work in organ transplant and these young people are requiring lung transplants from vaping. They are taking years and years off their own lives…

I vaped for a 1.5 years. I ended up with double pneumonia & it was so bad that I had to have a procedure where they go in & wash your lungs out. This was before we really knew nothing about it, pretty much right after you could vape. I had to buy out of state if that says something. Anyway I ended up having the procedure done & I was on life support for 18 days. I almost died many times during that time.
Please tell the parents & if they will not listen figure a way to let their doctors know. If they are not telling the whole truth to the doctor then they will not know what or how to treat it. I’m not sure how I would go about it but I would definitely get it out in the open so everyone knows. Good luck & sending good vibes your way!!!

You run the chance of causing issues and being shunned since you have no real rights. However…: as a grandma myself my daughter will hear my big mouth and respect what I have to say because she lives in my house. I have a 13 year old son too and if I found out… shit gonna hit the fan. My 19 year old son vapes and I’m not happy about it he knows it’s bad for him and he can’t stop… we’re trying other ways to get him to stop. It’s very addicting.
Ummm…vaping is considered smoking…and last I knew, the age was raised to 21. So thr parents are breaking the law by allowing the kids to do that and knowingly putting their health at risk. I’d be that person to make a couple phone calls…one to CPS and the other to the police.

As for me personally. 11 year olds should not be vaping. They should be in school if not home with theirs friends with a Adult. Vaping is for adults not children. As for grandma kick up hell, call whoever u got to , to be heard.

I would let them know it’s illegal for teens but, I would also take them medical information on the pros and cons of smoking and vaping.
Tell them you want to have a family meeting. Open discussion on the subject. If they say no , do what you know you should. God bless.

I see a lot of people commenting that are very uneducated about vaping but to answer your question I’d say let the parents handle the situation. Also they do make vape flavors with no nicotine, which means the vape only has propolyne glycol and vegetable glycerin. 2 very common ingredients that are also found in foods/items we all eat and use everyday. If it was cigarettes that’s a totally different story, but as a mom who is educated about vaping and also has a 14 yr old boy who understands vaping as well, please take my advice and let the parents decide what to do.

You’re not in this position for a personality contest, & obviously you love these kids or you wouldn’t be concerned! YES! GET INVOLVED, if for no other reason, but to tell them how wrong it is & the Long Term Health issues that could arise from it! You won’t be able to change things but keep harping on the kids they might wake up & you’ll feel better about it! You are their Grandmother! Go for it! You have nothing to lose!!!
Is the vape got nicotine in it or just flavour ? You can raise your concerns but ultimately it’s up to the parents if nothing is illegal
It’s illegal for them to and gor their parents to allow it, is them breaking the law. Even more if their parents are supporting their new found habit…
So yes, say something, not just because it’s illegal but also because you are worried about their health and they could get very sick.

Well their mom should know definitely. Also it’s illegal as fuck. And irresponsible on the parents part. I could never imagine buying my kid vapes to smoke… They are letting them have addictions at a young age. Kids need parents NOT friends for parents. People now days are so screwed. This is the same as letting your kid drink or do drugs. Child services could get involved very easily.
Maybe parents have tried to stop them but realized they are gonna do it anyway and just have set guidelines for them to follow instead
Yes!!! Say something!!! It’s illegal for them to vape AND depending on what’s in the vape… it could potentially kill them.
Say something but really at the end of the day not your circus not your monkeys, I would let the kiddos know around you it’s not ok other than that not much you can do 
This is a lose lose situation. Not a good option
Get involved Nan, it’s your right. Whether they listen or not who cares. Use your Grandma card
