Cigarettes taste terrible, yet teens still smoke. I did. And I smoked for 35 years. After trying to quit smoking using pharmaceuticals and failing, I gave vaping a shot. I've been tobacco free for 5 years and I believe it saved my life.
If not for vaping, I would be dead. I am Stage 4 COPD, ironically NOT so much from cigs as from being trapped in a burning house for 35 mins. I lost 80% of my lung capacity that day but still could stop smoking until I got a vape. I have not touched a cigarette since then, & I am still alive. Smoke kills, vapor does not.

If vape gets banned probably they get nicotine gum. The only thing i see is bad (I respect your opinions and questions), of vape is that nicotine isnt controlled in concentration of the solution like nicotine gum. Nicotine does have side effects on the brain and epigenetics are currently studying substance abuse, such as loss of concentration when a buzz and if it should be used with driving for it could distract them. Also, you could research for sources if you want and how brains have normal levels of nicotine and lessen when taking nicotine products as brain becomes dependent on it. Remember, just to solve problems, save lives then improving lives. ;)
Umm I'd rather my teen use ecigs than smoke cigarettes like I did at 13... The difference is nothing. I started without the influence of any flavoring. Teens and everyone on the Earth should have a CHOICE!!!! WHO DOESN'T LIKE FLAVORS?! Oh yeah, teens just switched to black and milds when the flavors got messed up.
I'm a teen an I vape 0 nic. I do it for the flavor, and it cut my soda consumption down. Dont know if it's any better but I'm def taking in less sugar.
Used to drink way too much soda, now only drink water FDA: Ban vaping bc it's attracting kids Also FDA: Promote liquid cancer in a can to everybody making it look cool and awesome with it's "crisp" flavors
I was 13 when I started smoking cigarettes... I smoked up until about 5 years ago... SO roughly 25 years... I vape pretty much 0 nic stuff now... I vape because I enjoy the act of smoking, and it keeps me from eating when I am bored or need to take a break from the crap going on around me. SO while yes I don't condone the use of Vaping for teens, I would rather see a teen vaping then smoking...
Hopefully making your own juice as well which is much healthier knowing what's going into it. Much cheaper in the long run with 30ml costing $1 or less to make if buying in bulk.
@@JRoD_31018 no, this isnt true. There are no oils actually. Its propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, with flavoring compounds mixed in. Nothing other than that. Just saying, from a long time vape user it hasnt affected my breathing, and i have had athletic asthma for years.
@@SanguineThor that's what I meant, I forgot which ones it was. I know those ain't oils, abd I dont know why I said that. But I've noticed an great difference in my breathing since I quit cigarettes and started vaping back in January
A year ago, after a doctor had told me about my serious condition, I was able to quit smoking because of vaping products. Simply put... Vaping saved my life!
Why can’t they ever get this story right? Not all eliquid contains nicotine. Much less the same amount of nicotine. I switched to vaping, after 30 yrs of smoking tobacco, over 3 yrs ago. No one I know encourages or sells vaping to kids.
Right? I have never experienced anybody trying to sell vape products to kids .. it all started with this JUUL advertisement thing .. if anything blame JUUL for their advertising ..
They get it closer to right than most major media. At least they are not calling vaping bad and equivalent to smoking in terms of negative health effects. I have been vaping for several years now and lets be real, vaping is not risk free. Until long term real world studies are completed we will not know how hazardous it is, but it is far better in the short term than smoking.
TheWraithkrown Risk Free? What’s risk free? Driving a car? Flying? Sports? How about drinking, eating spicy foods or breathing? I’m getting sick and tired of all the hyper sensitive talk about all the risky things in life. As if otherwise we’d live forever.
I agree Bodhi1satva. Life is about risk assessment. Remember, I am not the enemy:) I am just pointing out that risk is a part of it. In any debate, public or personel, it is important to recognize the facts. People will respect you more when you can admit the problems with your point of view and still convince them that your point has merit. When it comes down to it nicotine is really not anymore dangerous than caffeine. The danger comes into play with the delivery mechanism. With vaping, while the ingredients are safe for consumption, to my knowledge there have not been studies done on inhalation of the majority of the ingredients. Some of the ingredients that have been used in vaping have been proven to have inhalation risks. Diacetyl is not used much in vaping anymore but used to be and in very high quantities has caused problems in the food preparation industry. There is debate over whether the small amount used in E-liquids would cause problems or not. We are past the point where we can just ignore it and hope it does no harm. It is in all of our best interests for these studies to be done.
TheWraithkrown I don’t disagree with testing or the idea of risk assessment. I disagree with propaganda and the hype of those attempting to regulate or legislate choice. Haven’t we learned enough about the failures of past with prohibitions on alcohol and marijuana? I make my own e-liquids for the very purpose of choosing what chemicals I vape, what flavors I like and how much if any nicotine I add. I build my own coils and if needed I’m sure I could build a mech mod. So I will likely not be effected when the moral majority get their way. Personally I’m just fed up with this incessant need of those who wish to control behavior that is none of their business. Those are my enemies. Besides where was all this hype when doctors sold us on adding menthol or camphor to “Vaporizers” for colds or the same machines used for humidifiers or facials?
I smoked for over 50 years and quit in one day when i started vaping and that was 5 years ago. I did a lot of research before I started vaping to make sure I wasn't going to doing something more harmful or about the same. I can say the benefits over smoking are tremendous. Health is greatly improved.
After 2 packs a day for 20 years a blueberry and a lemon pie Vapes helped me quit. My aunt a 50 year smoker also 2 packs a day quit with a pineapple and strawberry vape.
I quit smoking tobacco last year, after smoking for 30 years. I switched to CBD oil in a vape pen though, and only need a few puffs a few times a day, and that's perfect for me
After 9 yrs of smoking I switched to vaping. At first I smoked liquid with nicotine, then I found a new flavour and forgot to inject the nicotine (in germany its sold seperately in syringes if you buy base) after 3 weeks I realized I smoke w/o nicotine. I wouldve never expected me to get rid of my nicotine addiction this easily.
Those kids would be cig smokes of they wernt vapeing. Its why the amount of kids smokeing in school has dropped and cont to drop as the number gos up for kids vapeing.
Smoking was ban, it came back of the future, alcohol was ban, it came back as the future. Oh wait it's the present now. To us it's the norm, something new of the future ban it.
Vaping was the only way that I was able to quit smoking! Haven't smoked in over a year now. I can smell again, breathe easier, jog, and I don't stink like smoke or taste of ash. Vapes have been a god send! If not for vapes, I'd still be smoking $10 pk nasty cigs which I no longer enjoyed using.
@@AbstractEnergy321 "very" is a stretch. PHE research has them saying that vaping is 95% safer than smoking cigarettes. Of course the jury is still out on long term life long effects. Very unhealthy? So are cheeseburgers. If i had to wager a bet, id say someone who eats healthy and vapes all every day will outlive someone eating fast food for every meal.
I actually love how this video took both pros and cons into consideration instead of just demonizing vaping. Yes it's not safe but it's still beneficial to our society as a whole.
The problem with the tobacco industry new product is that those cigarettes still contain the seven thousand harmful chemicals in them and even if you’re not burning them you’re still inhaling them unlike vaping which just has a handful of ingredients.
I quit smoking with vaping. A lot of people eventually quit all together but I personally enjoy vaping. Nothing more relaxing than having a few beers and vaping after a 15 hr work day.
At 6:15, I call BS on her being "about the children". How is is being for the children, when you don't care if their cigarette smoking parents are denied access to something that's helped millions of people quit smoking? Maybe she should reevaluate who is actually voting for her. Last time I checked, those children aren't doing the voting, but the very adults who she is "less concerned about".
I quit smoking by picking up vaping, I slowly reduced my nicotine level and a week before a vacation I went to zero nicotine then didn't vape for the trip. Now free of vaping and smoking.
Going from smoking to vaping in 1 yr my breathing got better by 12% !! vaping is better for you I don’t care what the CDC says. Vaping saved my life. Thank You Lord 🙌🙌
I know more people who vape than smoke and I'm 35 years old. I was able to quit smoking because I started vaping. It helped me. It is addicting either way- but for me, I feel much better now.
I started smoking at age 14 because I thought I was a rebel or some crap. Anyway, after 12 years I stopped by using a vape and it was the flavors that made me put the cigarettes down for good. I also eat less sweets now too...the tobacco flavors are terrible and the menthol flavors make me gag. Please don't ban the flavored e liquids!
My father passed away a couple years ago but I got him started on ecigs for about 5 yrs before he passed and I could see the quality of his last years improve dramatically. I used to not be able to carry on conversations with him due to his COPD and aggressive coughing fits. After starting ecigs that went away for the most part and breathing improved. He passed due to his 20yr battle with prostate cancer and not his COPD. I quit in 2010 and even though I started on 24mg eliquid I am now down to 12mg and have biked 40mi rides when I used smoke a pack a day and get shortness of breath after a few flights of stairs. That is all the proof I need, even though there's plenty out there including the UK health study stating they are at least 95% healthier.
Totally agree with Nicole Crumley. I smoked for 31 years. Started vaping (exclusively) in 2011 - if you don't believe me that I'm healthier, please ask my doctor. She'll tell you the same thing.
San Francisco bans flavored tobacco and e-liquid products but allows the distribution of 2.7 million syringes to intravenous drug users (for free) every year.
Thank you for this report. I quit smoking by Vaping. I started smoking at the age of 15. I didn’t start smoking because of the pretty colors on the boxes or the multiple flavors that were offered. No, it was because my friends did it and I wanted to fit in. I smoked for nearly 15 years and I tried everything to quit. It wasn’t until I tried vaping, almost 2 years ago, that I finally quit smoking and never looked back. I breathe better. I don’t get winded like I used to during physical activity. I taste and smell things better. My overall health has improved. Vaping has saved my life. I hope that more reports like this one make their way into mainstream media so that people can see the truth about vaping instead of relying on the fear mongers’ version of the truth.
As a high school student surrounded by vapes and hitting them all the time WITH nicotine I have not become one bit addicted to it. The only “brain reprogramming” is by the people against them
Uwatwat So sorry to disappoint you, my friend. If you were not addicted to it, you wouldn't be hitting them all the time with your friends around. The first stage of addiction recovery is denial. You are far from recovery.
David Moore that’s funny if I was addicted I would get my own vape also I could put it down and never do it again if I wanted to which is what I’ve done for almost 2 weeks now... Then I’ll go back tomorrow if I wanted to then go weeks without it or like I said never do it again no problem
@@mkultra8244 you are a nicotine addict. I am a nicotine addict too in recovery after ten years of using. You will see this one day. Good luck my friend
Christian Kallfelz even though I quit forever at this point I don’t think any of you people realize you only get addicted if you have an addictive personality
Vaping is one of the most harmless thing a teenager can do. Instead of attacking e-cigs these people should be worried about teenagers getting alcohol poisoning and them thinking that drinking is okay because they see their parents doing it.
28 years of smoking. Patches, pills, gum, smoking around kids, yellow teeth, dark lips. I vape now 3mg. I dont wake up looking for that first cig in the morning nor my vape. I think vaping is my key to quitting all together
Nah they don’t target teens they just target a general audience. Don’t believe what they tell you about that. What I will say is they target people with open minds lol Vaping saves lives literally
I feel exactly the same. I'm working in Taiwan and all they have here is a tiny store that sells it. There's almost no selection and the price is VERY expressive.
Yes! Ban the better things so kids can resort to life threatening cigarettes rather than fruity and sweet almost harmless vapor. I'm not saying kids should vape, but don't they think it's better when kids start experimenting with these stuff, they rather do it with vaping and not cigarettes? I say ban cigarettes but we all know what that will turn into.
Teens will always find ways to get & smoke cigarettes. I started at 13yrs old by stealing my parents cigs. I’m almost 50 now & I had the lungs of an 85yr old man at the age of 45. After quitting cigs w/ Vaping ( the only thing that worked ) my lungs improved within a year. I now had the lungs of a 47yr old & I was 47.... #VapingSavesLives. Not sure why juul is the only company in the news. I hated Juul & don’t know anyone that uses Juul Products 🤦🏻♂️
Shane Starkey YES! Thank you! I was just thinking that, why doesn’t anyone ever talk about parenting when it comes to anything about teenage behavior anymore? Much more attention needs to be put back on proper parenting in this country!
I tryed a juul about 2 weeks ago and im 17 almost 18, I have never smoked and that was the only time I vaped, after the first 3 puffs of trying it and around 30 mins later i had the craveing to hit a few more puffs but refused to do it more. All i can say is dont start vapeing if your not a smoker because it wired my brain in less than 3 puffs

Now this. This is a great video. Both sides got to explain themselves.. he interviewed the CAO of JUUL to take about the campaign that went wrong. He interviewed the producers and small businesses. He even interviewed Philip Morris. Great video!
Yeah, it's illegal in the UK to sell vape juices containing nicotine in more than 10ml bottles. Although there is a loop hole option, where you buy the nicotine separately. They should really take a page out of Britain's book...
YAY! I smoked for 40 years!! Nothing helped. Then I stopped at a Vape store. Cigarettes in my rear view for a year and a half. I feel like a new person. I don’t stink and no holes in my clothes.
Vaping helped me quit smoking after almost 20 yrs, tried everything from gum to patches and never quit more then a few days. Bought a vape about 6 months ago and haven't touched a cigarette since
Vaping saved my life! They aren't available for sale to anyone under certain ages! I never want a tobacco flavor again! My pulmonologist agrees they are better than smoking.

Can't tell adults what to do... Why blame the woman?
These were my exact thoughts and feelings
If vape gets banned probably they get nicotine gum. The only thing i see is bad (I respect your opinions and questions), of vape is that nicotine isnt controlled in concentration of the solution like nicotine gum. Nicotine does have side effects on the brain and epigenetics are currently studying substance abuse, such as loss of concentration when a buzz and if it should be used with driving for it could distract them. Also, you could research for sources if you want and how brains have normal levels of nicotine and lessen when taking nicotine products as brain becomes dependent on it. Remember, just to solve problems, save lives then improving lives. ;)
Umm I'd rather my teen use ecigs than smoke cigarettes like I did at 13... The difference is nothing. I started without the influence of any flavoring. Teens and everyone on the Earth should have a CHOICE!!!! WHO DOESN'T LIKE FLAVORS?! Oh yeah, teens just switched to black and milds when the flavors got messed up.
I saw birthday cake flavored vodka in the store the other day, are we not going to ban that too?
I vape at 16

Josh Salads The Destroyer of Worlds you’re a badass man
I'm a teen an I vape 0 nic. I do it for the flavor, and it cut my soda consumption down. Dont know if it's any better but I'm def taking in less sugar.
That's good considering how many spoonfulls of sugar are in one can of soda. Better for your pancreas and your teeth.
We know damn well that obesity kills, but I don't see the FDA coming down on the food industry for marketing sugar to children.
Used to drink way too much soda, now only drink water
FDA: Ban vaping bc it's attracting kids
Also FDA: Promote liquid cancer in a can to everybody making it look cool and awesome with it's "crisp" flavors
I was 13 when I started smoking cigarettes... I smoked up until about 5 years ago... SO roughly 25 years... I vape pretty much 0 nic stuff now... I vape because I enjoy the act of smoking, and it keeps me from eating when I am bored or need to take a break from the crap going on around me. SO while yes I don't condone the use of Vaping for teens, I would rather see a teen vaping then smoking...
Hopefully making your own juice as well which is much healthier knowing what's going into it. Much cheaper in the long run with 30ml costing $1 or less to make if buying in bulk.
Im 29 and smoking cigar for almost 15 years.. tommorow will be my first week without cigarette.. all thanks to vape.. vape on!👊👊
But did you ban cigarettes lmao 😂
Banning flavoured liquid but still selling cigarettes. LOL
e-cigarettes are far safer than cigarettes, to a ridiculous level.
Some of the oils they use in Vape juice are the same ones found in inhalers
@@JRoD_31018 no, this isnt true. There are no oils actually. Its propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, with flavoring compounds mixed in. Nothing other than that. Just saying, from a long time vape user it hasnt affected my breathing, and i have had athletic asthma for years.
@@SanguineThor that's what I meant, I forgot which ones it was. I know those ain't oils, abd I dont know why I said that. But I've noticed an great difference in my breathing since I quit cigarettes and started vaping back in January
Quitting altogether is much safer than smoking and vaping combined... So just quit.
@@cyranthus but it yum.
It's so much cheaper for me too. I was a pack a day guy, 7$ a pack now, I only use about 1$ worth of cost a day now with my ecigs.
AFugy that’s probably the issue!
What e cig do you have? That’s pretty cheap
A year ago, after a doctor had told me about my serious condition, I was able to quit smoking because of vaping products. Simply put... Vaping saved my life!
Why can’t they ever get this story right? Not all eliquid contains nicotine. Much less the same amount of nicotine. I switched to vaping, after 30 yrs of smoking tobacco, over 3 yrs ago. No one I know encourages or sells vaping to kids.
Right? I have never experienced anybody trying to sell vape products to kids .. it all started with this JUUL advertisement thing .. if anything blame JUUL for their advertising ..
They get it closer to right than most major media. At least they are not calling vaping bad and equivalent to smoking in terms of negative health effects. I have been vaping for several years now and lets be real, vaping is not risk free. Until long term real world studies are completed we will not know how hazardous it is, but it is far better in the short term than smoking.
TheWraithkrown Risk Free? What’s risk free? Driving a car? Flying? Sports? How about drinking, eating spicy foods or breathing? I’m getting sick and tired of all the hyper sensitive talk about all the risky things in life. As if otherwise we’d live forever.
I agree Bodhi1satva. Life is about risk assessment. Remember, I am not the enemy:) I am just pointing out that risk is a part of it. In any debate, public or personel, it is important to recognize the facts. People will respect you more when you can admit the problems with your point of view and still convince them that your point has merit. When it comes down to it nicotine is really not anymore dangerous than caffeine. The danger comes into play with the delivery mechanism. With vaping, while the ingredients are safe for consumption, to my knowledge there have not been studies done on inhalation of the majority of the ingredients. Some of the ingredients that have been used in vaping have been proven to have inhalation risks. Diacetyl is not used much in vaping anymore but used to be and in very high quantities has caused problems in the food preparation industry. There is debate over whether the small amount used in E-liquids would cause problems or not. We are past the point where we can just ignore it and hope it does no harm. It is in all of our best interests for these studies to be done.
TheWraithkrown I don’t disagree with testing or the idea of risk assessment. I disagree with propaganda and the hype of those attempting to regulate or legislate choice. Haven’t we learned enough about the failures of past with prohibitions on alcohol and marijuana? I make my own e-liquids for the very purpose of choosing what chemicals I vape, what flavors I like and how much if any nicotine I add. I build my own coils and if needed I’m sure I could build a mech mod. So I will likely not be effected when the moral majority get their way. Personally I’m just fed up with this incessant need of those who wish to control behavior that is none of their business. Those are my enemies. Besides where was all this hype when doctors sold us on adding menthol or camphor to “Vaporizers” for colds or the same machines used for humidifiers or facials?
I smoked for over 50 years and quit in one day when i started vaping and that was 5 years ago. I did a lot of research before I started vaping to make sure I wasn't going to doing something more harmful or about the same. I can say the benefits over smoking are tremendous. Health is greatly improved.
Do you have any lung damage from smoking?
@@stuarttacey Not at all. That's been verified by doctors who specialize in that area of our bodies.
After 2 packs a day for 20 years a blueberry and a lemon pie Vapes helped me quit. My aunt a 50 year smoker also 2 packs a day quit with a pineapple and strawberry vape.
I quit smoking tobacco last year, after smoking for 30 years. I switched to CBD oil in a vape pen though, and only need a few puffs a few times a day, and that's perfect for me
Congrats!
Good for u!
Same I use CBD oil a few times
Congratulations! Awesome to hear that.
The only vaping I do is CBD or THC.
I quit smoking with vaping almost 3 yrs ago & love it !!!! Vaping saved my life!!!!
I'm a former smoker, switched to vaping 7 years ago & I've never heard of juul until this video.
After 9 yrs of smoking I switched to vaping. At first I smoked liquid with nicotine, then I found a new flavour and forgot to inject the nicotine (in germany its sold seperately in syringes if you buy base) after 3 weeks I realized I smoke w/o nicotine. I wouldve never expected me to get rid of my nicotine addiction this easily.
Good on u
Interesting...makes me wonder how addictive nicotine really is.
@@geoff0brn it is extremely addictive but the best way to quit is to keep the habit but get rid of the nicotine
Its more than likely the habit & action of smoking more than the nicotine in your instance
Those kids would be cig smokes of they wernt vapeing.
Its why the amount of kids smokeing in school has dropped and cont to drop as the number gos up for kids vapeing.
Kevin Solo English?
You obviously seem like a kid.
WRONG! Kids Vaping has drastically DROPPED & is still decreasing!
Kevin Solo exactly 💨🍓🍌
@datpenguin101 ! It's NOT "bad for your health" .... But that's not the point! I'm just stating
It IS the future
Trane Sonic what’s up peeps, mike vapes here and today, I have this new.......kit to show you guys!!!
time2k12 .i hope not.
Whats going on there youtube? Vaaaaping wiiiittthhh twisted 420 has retuuuuuuuurneed ..
Smoking was ban, it came back of the future, alcohol was ban, it came back as the future. Oh wait it's the present now. To us it's the norm, something new of the future ban it.
I smoked quite heavily for 35 years.Quit in four days after starting vaping
I also stopped smoking and started vaping..i love it..
If it was for health reasons they would ban cigarettes and alcohol but its just about money and tax. Same here in Europe 🤮
Adults like flavors too! Vapping can save a smokers life.
The teens who vape would most likely smoke cigarettes if there wasn’t any vapes so it is a better risk than teens using cigarettes
Let people do what they want to do, let's not let the government say what they can and can not have.
Ecigarettes saved my life!! It's about time someone clears the air on them.
Iam from Australia and this video was banned so I couldn't watch it on RUclips so I used a VPN to watch it.
I am so thankful for vape I have been smoke free for 4 months my health has changed and I feel so much better
Vaping was the only way that I was able to quit smoking! Haven't smoked in over a year now. I can smell again, breathe easier, jog, and I don't stink like smoke or taste of ash. Vapes have been a god send! If not for vapes, I'd still be smoking $10 pk nasty cigs which I no longer enjoyed using.
2 years no cigarette. 25 years tried but this really helped and got the job done
Vaping is way safer than smoking hands down.
yet It is still very unhealthy overall
@@AbstractEnergy321 "very" is a stretch. PHE research has them saying that vaping is 95% safer than smoking cigarettes. Of course the jury is still out on long term life long effects.
Very unhealthy? So are cheeseburgers. If i had to wager a bet, id say someone who eats healthy and vapes all every day will outlive someone eating fast food for every meal.
I smoked for 35 years. Nothing I did could help me quit until I tried vaping 2 years ago. Now I haven't smoked since.
Vaping is fantastic!
Teens drink alcohol...
Soooo...
Who's gonna regulate that?!
🤔🤔
I'm freaking tired of America's _"nanny"_ state...
I actually love how this video took both pros and cons into consideration instead of just demonizing vaping. Yes it's not safe but it's still beneficial to our society as a whole.
The problem with the tobacco industry new product is that those cigarettes still contain the seven thousand harmful chemicals in them and even if you’re not burning them you’re still inhaling them unlike vaping which just has a handful of ingredients.
How come people can't have freedom to do what they want with themselves
"More doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette."
*That's not a camel, that's a horse with a tumor on its back.*
That's a good one! Lmao! 🤣
I quit smoking with vaping. A lot of people eventually quit all together but I personally enjoy vaping. Nothing more relaxing than having a few beers and vaping after a 15 hr work day.
This is a wonderfully unbiased video. Thank you!! I have been smoke free since 2012 because of vaping.
Nashville Native Here. Smoker for 38+ years. I Vape Now ! Haven't had a cigarette in 6 1/2 months !
At 6:15, I call BS on her being "about the children". How is is being for the children, when you don't care if their cigarette smoking parents are denied access to something that's helped millions of people quit smoking? Maybe she should reevaluate who is actually voting for her. Last time I checked, those children aren't doing the voting, but the very adults who she is "less concerned about".
And most kids who start smoking get their first cigs by swiping then from their parents. Less adult smokers = less teen smokers.
Shes a far left whackjob! San fransickos finest
Parents didn’t smoke, smoking rate was far less prevalent than vaping today
Justin Y. Parens did TOO smoke! Like crazy! In the 80s 90s 2000s...More then than there are adult vapers today.
I quit smoking by picking up vaping, I slowly reduced my nicotine level and a week before a vacation I went to zero nicotine then didn't vape for the trip. Now free of vaping and smoking.
Going from smoking to vaping in 1 yr my breathing got better by 12% !! vaping is better for you I don’t care what the CDC says. Vaping saved my life. Thank You Lord 🙌🙌
I know more people who vape than smoke and I'm 35 years old. I was able to quit smoking because I started vaping. It helped me. It is addicting either way- but for me, I feel much better now.
Vapeing I believe saved my life as well.
Yes, it attractive to teens, but so was Carmen Electra when I was 13. Even then I knew she was for older people.
Thank You CBS for putting out a fair look at vaping.
Watching this while vaping 💨
Great job with showing all sides when it comes to vaping
I love how the video is from 2018 and they using e cigs from 2010?
I started smoking at age 14 because I thought I was a rebel or some crap. Anyway, after 12 years I stopped by using a vape and it was the flavors that made me put the cigarettes down for good. I also eat less sweets now too...the tobacco flavors are terrible and the menthol flavors make me gag. Please don't ban the flavored e liquids!
oh well
My father passed away a couple years ago but I got him started on ecigs for about 5 yrs before he passed and I could see the quality of his last years improve dramatically. I used to not be able to carry on conversations with him due to his COPD and aggressive coughing fits. After starting ecigs that went away for the most part and breathing improved. He passed due to his 20yr battle with prostate cancer and not his COPD. I quit in 2010 and even though I started on 24mg eliquid I am now down to 12mg and have biked 40mi rides when I used smoke a pack a day and get shortness of breath after a few flights of stairs. That is all the proof I need, even though there's plenty out there including the UK health study stating they are at least 95% healthier.
Totally agree with Nicole Crumley. I smoked for 31 years. Started vaping (exclusively) in 2011 - if you don't believe me that I'm healthier, please ask my doctor. She'll tell you the same thing.
8 years vaping and eight years cigarette free #VapingSavedMyLife
On 22 September 2011 my e cigarettes arrived. I have not WANTED a cigarette since.
Finally, some balanced mainstream coverage of vaping. Kudos!
Come on, CBS... provide captions for accessibility. I wanted to use this as a lesson in class for my deaf students but it isn't accessible. Boo.
San Francisco bans flavored tobacco and e-liquid products but allows the distribution of 2.7 million syringes to intravenous drug users (for free) every year.
Smoke weed
Why’d u quit utube
And flavor e juices are also used by adults not just kids
Thank you for this report. I quit smoking by Vaping. I started smoking at the age of 15. I didn’t start smoking because of the pretty colors on the boxes or the multiple flavors that were offered. No, it was because my friends did it and I wanted to fit in. I smoked for nearly 15 years and I tried everything to quit. It wasn’t until I tried vaping, almost 2 years ago, that I finally quit smoking and never looked back. I breathe better. I don’t get winded like I used to during physical activity. I taste and smell things better. My overall health has improved. Vaping has saved my life. I hope that more reports like this one make their way into mainstream media so that people can see the truth about vaping instead of relying on the fear mongers’ version of the truth.
quitting smoking takes hard work and dedication, switching off to something else defeats the purpose .....
As a high school student surrounded by vapes and hitting them all the time WITH nicotine I have not become one bit addicted to it. The only “brain reprogramming” is by the people against them
Uwatwat 👏🏼👏🏼
Uwatwat So sorry to disappoint you, my friend. If you were not addicted to it, you wouldn't be hitting them all the time with your friends around. The first stage of addiction recovery is denial. You are far from recovery.
David Moore that’s funny if I was addicted I would get my own vape also I could put it down and never do it again if I wanted to which is what I’ve done for almost 2 weeks now... Then I’ll go back tomorrow if I wanted to then go weeks without it or like I said never do it again no problem
@@mkultra8244 you are a nicotine addict. I am a nicotine addict too in recovery after ten years of using. You will see this one day. Good luck my friend
Christian Kallfelz even though I quit forever at this point I don’t think any of you people realize you only get addicted if you have an addictive personality
Vaping is one of the most harmless thing a teenager can do. Instead of attacking e-cigs these people should be worried about teenagers getting alcohol poisoning and them thinking that drinking is okay because they see their parents doing it.
What about flavored alcohol?
28 years of smoking. Patches, pills, gum, smoking around kids, yellow teeth, dark lips. I vape now 3mg. I dont wake up looking for that first cig in the morning nor my vape. I think vaping is my key to quitting all together
Of course they target teens . I am 66 yo and I worry my access to vaping will be harmed .
Switch to diy. I do a small order every week to add flavors to my arsenal. I have enough vg/pg and nicotine to last me till the apocalypse.
@@resultsofchange they do expire eventually my guy
Nah they don’t target teens they just target a general audience. Don’t believe what they tell you about that. What I will say is they target people with open minds lol
Vaping saves lives literally
I feel exactly the same. I'm working in Taiwan and all they have here is a tiny store that sells it. There's almost no selection and the price is VERY expressive.
I quiet smoking 10 years ago and switched to vaping and now I feel wonderful!!!! Since then I health is 100% ok!! Thanks for this technology
Yes! Ban the better things so kids can resort to life threatening cigarettes rather than fruity and sweet almost harmless vapor. I'm not saying kids should vape, but don't they think it's better when kids start experimenting with these stuff, they rather do it with vaping and not cigarettes? I say ban cigarettes but we all know what that will turn into.
zinTaxZA true true where was the huge outrage about underage smoking? Oh wait, there really wasn’t.
Proved to be at least 95% safer than smoking tobacco
I miss Charles Osgood's soothing voice
Teens will always find ways to get & smoke cigarettes. I started at 13yrs old by stealing my parents cigs. I’m almost 50 now & I had the lungs of an 85yr old man at the age of 45. After quitting cigs w/ Vaping ( the only thing that worked ) my lungs improved within a year. I now had the lungs of a 47yr old & I was 47.... #VapingSavesLives. Not sure why juul is the only company in the news. I hated Juul & don’t know anyone that uses Juul Products 🤦🏻♂️
It's the parents responsibility to raise their kids not societies
Shane Starkey YES! Thank you! I was just thinking that, why doesn’t anyone ever talk about parenting when it comes to anything about teenage behavior anymore? Much more attention needs to be put back on proper parenting in this country!
Thank you for being unbiased this is truly rare
Big tobacco didn't teach you a lesson. It did me.
I tryed a juul about 2 weeks ago and im 17 almost 18, I have never smoked and that was the only time I vaped, after the first 3 puffs of trying it and around 30 mins later i had the craveing to hit a few more puffs but refused to do it more. All i can say is dont start vapeing if your not a smoker because it wired my brain in less than 3 puffs
lol I just quit smoking with a nicotrol inhaler, took like 3 weeks
That's good. You have more will power than a lot of us.
After 25 yrs. Of smoking I was able to quit via vaping. Dr. Says my lungs sound like that of a non smoker now. It's been 4 yrs.
Not safe. Safer. Enough said.
@Ron Maimon I vape but you should knowo not all ejuice is safe or created equal.
Breathing the air in a metropolitan area isn't safe. Where's the anti-car propaganda?
@Ron Maimon well that's a lie. I love using my juul but even right now I can feel pain in my lungs that wasn't there before
@Ron Maimon definitely not dehydration
finally a good video showing vapeing is safer and not bashing it I can't believe my eyes
The Assumption here is that (You Don't Have The Right to Choose To Smoke. )
The Libs decided this for you!
You live in a society. You can choose to leave it and then you'll make up all your own rules. But since you're here on RUclips we can only assume you;d like to have your cake and eat it too.

it bothers me when people with no experience of symptoms of smoking for years and then vaping for years start to make law decisions on vape products from their "feel and think" reasoning.
i smoked for 11 years and currently im 72 hours in since i quit smoking with the help of vaping. Stay strong
Now this. This is a great video. Both sides got to explain themselves.. he interviewed the CAO of JUUL to take about the campaign that went wrong. He interviewed the producers and small businesses. He even interviewed Philip Morris. Great video!
*What all of these news stories don't tell you is that you can get E-juice with NO NICOTINE*
Yeah, it's illegal in the UK to sell vape juices containing nicotine in more than 10ml bottles. Although there is a loop hole option, where you buy the nicotine separately. They should really take a page out of Britain's book...
I hate the fact that they focus on flavor when there are “soda” flavored alcohol drinks and fruit flavored cigars and that don’t seem to be a problem.
YAY! I smoked for 40 years!! Nothing helped. Then I stopped at a Vape store. Cigarettes in my rear view for a year and a half. I feel like a new person. I don’t stink and no holes in my clothes.
Vaping helped me quit smoking after almost 20 yrs, tried everything from gum to patches and never quit more then a few days. Bought a vape about 6 months ago and haven't touched a cigarette since
