Your neighbors are crazy. I have an adult friend come in and feed the cats, also bring in the mail and water the plants. I usually get her a small gift from where we've gone, or a Starbuck's card.
Or just generous. We used to have a neighbor that would do that for one of my kids whenever he needed a little yardwork done. Don't get me wrong, my kid worked, but the pay was more generous than it needed to be. I didn't really understand it, but I know my son was grateful. As an aside, he just made forty bucks for taking care of a neighbor's cat for two days.
I think you'd be surprised at how many adults love fruit flavored anything otherwise fruit flavored alcohol (Vodka,Bourbon,Whiskey,Liqueurs wouldn't be good sellers as they are...
Point taken. I'll put it this way, I do suspect that the fruit flavored vapes are meant to attract young people. And adding that the last vape shop I saw in my city looked to me like a place that was attempting to attract young people, not that all of those potential customers might be minors, but young for sure. Much like an arcade back in the 70s and 80s. There is a certain "look" that attracts young people.

Dude. Legal age is 18. That IS young.
Lots of people who vape like the various flavors. I have a friend who vapes a berry flavored liquid. It's smells amazing.
Hmmm. Maybe you don't see them in fast food places because, like mine, they're taking a full course load and/or completing required internships in their field, so they can finish a five year engineering program in 3-1/2 years. Not all college students spend their summers slinging fries at McDonald's, sitting in a life guard chair, or running a cash register at Target. And, yeah, maybe you did see my kid on a plane headed to LA for a long weekend on the beach. It was a well-deserved gift from us, her parents, because she needed a break to relax and breath for a few days.
I don't know Randomparent. Are you SURE you're not mollycoddling? Sure sounds like mollycoddling.
There's money available for them. That was my point. Phones and EXPENSIVE clothes are not necessities.
Still not a fair comparison. Parents take their kids shopping for phones, pick one out they can afford, and put them on their plan. Same with clothing, basically. The kid has to wear something. Some families can afford more than others. Vaping is unhealthy and illegal for middle and most high schoolers. Most parents aren't going vape shopping with their kids.

RIP Joe Camel.
Looks to me the same issue with cigarettes, marketing, and those just above the age of 18 passing them along to their younger peers. This isn't really anything new and hopefully parents are learning what vaping is so they can speak to their children about it.
Vape store that I go to here locally is setup to look like a juice bar... menu of flavors to sample included. They do check IDs for all sales. After the child is 18 and out of the house, not much we can do about it.
You're comparing vaping to clothing and phones? A little different, don't you think?
Not far off a comparison when it comes to phones and those addicted really...
