I much prefer to see kids vaping.
It's much harder to be intimidated by a gang of 10 youths in balaclavas when they smell like a pack of Fruit Salads.
Vaping is a joke, they stuck the addictive chemical (nicotine) in it and now they are hooked on vaping. Let them sell vaping goods but they shouldn't be allowed to add nicotine to them.
Given that for most it's a less harmful alternative to smoking that makes zero sense. Aside from it's addictive properties nicotine is on about the same level as caffeine in terms of damage.
Caffeine? No, the science says otherwise
