Tell your parents so that they can parent her
Try talking to her…..Ok so vaping screws your lungs up badly. The cigarette is probably the least of the evils lol
The wrapping paper… What is she wrapping?
Talk to her first, really make sure she understands why she shouldn’t do it at her age, if nothing changes go to parents
No wait don’t be angry just politely approach her ask her why is she doing this telling parents will make this worse they will interrogate her first you ask her why is she doing this and how is she getting these things ask them politely at first
Teens are naturally rebellious and most people respond negatively if they feel attacked or pressured. So it’s important to approach this with understanding even if you feel angry.
If you have a good relationship with her, see if you can talk to her calmly from a concerned older sibling angle. You could also talk to your parents and have them try to do a similar thing. BUT do not do this if you think your parents will lash out, get angry at her, and such. Even if they come from a good place it’s not likely to help.
Tell her you care about her and love her. That you want to grow old with her and have children that can play together and be cousins growing up together.
That an early death struggling to breath. Ties to an oxygen machine is not the way to go out of here.
The poster that said vaping is worse than smoking is ill informed. Most ADULTS use vaping to quit smoking.
Teens vape I suppose for the same reason they vape. They experiment, they think it’s cool. Then get addicted.
Tell your parents. They need to handle this situation.
Simply have a conversation with her make sure that she doesn’t have anything else in her room get rid of at all and tell her that she has one more chance if you figure out anything else happens to the parents and tell them that has happened two different times now sometimes just a little bit of a scare is enough to do the work
