Just a modern take on the shit we did as kids trying to get smokes *shrugs*
Now, not that I want kids doing this shit, but it's better than smoking, which is also illegal for minors but they do it anyway. Does make me wonder where his folks are in all this.
But, shows you how things stay the same for kids - socks and backpack are old hat

I know and I'm a total hypocrite for posting... I didn't exactly start smoking at a legal age.
But all I can think of when I see videos like this is the damn FDA. Keep it to yourself ya little shit...
people can figure this stuff out on their own!!!
Hahaha, that is about right

People can look or not look, same as any other video posted
I thought about it and did watch - but for this kid it isn't necessarily about the kid getting hits on his channel, for me anyway
It's more a worry about ANTZ using his vids as "proof" that vaping is evil and targeting our precious children

In an age when kids are posting beating people, stealing, and sexually assulting people this seems so tame....funny our goverment seems to think teens committing violent felonies is just a fact of life, but vaping is something that needs to be erased from the world.

I started smoking at 13... by the time I had enough sense to wish I hadn't, I was firmly hooked. I've helped a few 16 yr olds with ejuice, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, if I knew those kids were trying to remain smoke-free. They have as much right to vape as any other smoker who wants to get free of it.
And, I honestly do not see it as particularly harmful, even for adolescents -- who regularly gulp down sodas and energy drinks and Starbucks like nobody's business, and no one is jumping up and down and hollering about their caffeine intake, and caffeine and nicotine have a VERY similar effect on the brain and body. Even if they are only doing it to be cool, it's one hell of a lot better than smoking or drinking or doing drugs to be cool, and will be one hell of a lot easier to stop doing, once they wise up and decide there are better things to be doing... like sex, for instance.

Reminds me of the stupid woman that started berating me when she saw me give my then-toddler a sip of my frozen blended coffee drink because caffeine is evil and not good for kids, while her child was chugging a bottle of Mountain Dew.
Seems like that Youtube should kill his channel for promoting illegal activity?
Considering their recent actions towards vaping, they will probably leave it up. Giving ANTZ a "We told you so!" is what upsets me. Wish vaping had been around when I was a kid, I'd have been all over it & having a longer life to look forward to.
YouTube allows videos to be reported so if you feel strongly enough that is one way to curtail promoting illegal activities.

Yeah... my son wasn't allowed any soda other than a bit of sprite if out at a restaurant, till he was school-age. From age 5-6 till about 15, he was allowed ONE soda per day; he could choose when, but that one soda rule was FIRM. After he was about 15, he started running cross-country, and after requiring an IV at a track meet because of passing out from dehydration, he no longer cared so much about soda.
He drank a LOT more water. Now, he seems to consume store-brand cola like oxygen, but he's 29; if he starts bouncing off the walls, I tell him to go away and bounce somewhere else, his caffeination is tiresome in the EXTREME.

Glad you posted the vids - something to think about for sure
But then, always have been a subversive type
I haven't but then I don't YouTube much
I know, I'm boring
I've seen this kinda thing happen occasionally for years now. It hasn't ever become an issue that I know of. If it worries anyone they can always report it to YT as some folks probably already have.
It's a non-issue to me. IMO there are way bigger issues around than this one.
I suspect that even promoting underage vaping in any way is illegal under the new rules.

Just search "underage vaping" on youtube
I did and was a little shocked
However, in a world were some kids shoot people and what have you, I think it's somewhat of a nonissue

If they would only shoot the ones who would shoot someone else.....
My point is that Youtube is allowing illegal videos on their business.
Out of curiosity I went to YT and did the search for underage vaping and came up with almost 8,000 hits. The first few seem to be against it and some even setting up a seller who originally was willing to sell to a minor. Many more to go before I have a conclusive sample to judge.
