Need help with parents Christmas present.?
Ok so I was really thinking about this, I need my parents to quit smoking! I have a 5 year old little sister and I do not want them dieing while she is young. I want to buy both my parents a vape. The thing is they are very stubborn about quitting so I don't want to spend 40+ on each one plus juice and all that. And im under 18 so I feel like they might get mad and ask how and where I got it. (it wouldn't be a problem getting, I have one too) thanks in advance.
I meant to say I don't want to spend all the money and they say something like im not using this or something like that

If you're near 18, just say a friend that's over 18 bought it for you with a firm promise that it wasn't for you. Or a friend's older sibling, etc.
And if you want to push the guilt angle, stick a photo of your younger sister into the box, with a note about the amazing parts of her life that are coming up, and how horrible if would be if they weren't there for her first day of middle school, or high school prom, or college graduation, or to meet their grandchildren because they died young from lung disease. Give em a terribly sad story about how hard it will be for the two of you to grow up alone, without parents, and how selfish it is of them to risk not being there for their children for as long as possible.
And perhaps subtly mention that it wasn't cheap while you do it. "I know this isn't an inexpensive present, Mom and Dad, but there's no amount of money I wouldn't pay to keep you in our lives for even one more day, so spending this much to perhaps get decades more time with you seems fair."
