How much does big tobacco or big pharma pay you to put out this anti vaping trash with debunked bad science and alarmist scientific jargon? The YT vid called "Vapaing Demistified" by Yorkshire cancer research puts content like this to shame, maybe you should watch it yourselves
Smoked for a long long time. Tried vaping, I could breathe again and I stopped with the coughing. Now I don't do either. I'm happy, whatever worked worked.
Yes me too! I can breathe again and don't get chest pains anymore. I'm still vaping but quitting soon. My fiance quit cigarettes the same way and just quit vaping about a month ago. It really has been a lifesaver.
Same here man! Been 4 years since I switched to vaping and 2 years since I quit completely! I am semi athletic and after switching to vaping I felt my lung power come back. Now I'm clean and healthy!
Tried everything to quit smoking. It was literally slowly killing me. Vape shops came along. With vaping I was able to quit smoking. Kept lowering my nicotine levels for 2 years. Then quit the vape. It worked for me!
The issue is that vaping is just replacing cigarettes...yes it is better but it still is bad. If used to quit smoking then it is good but if it just replaces smoking it is bad.
@@cpenner7086 I feel like you missed the whole second part of their comment. It's not just about replacing it, but replacing it for something you can use to slowly lower your intake of nicotine and make it easier to quit overall.
I spent so many years of my life under the spell of cigarettes, depression and severe ptsd. Gained my freedom with the help of nature using mushroom (psilocybin) precisely. After my experience with shrooms five years ago every cigarette I lit up tasted like literal poison. I would take one hit and put out the cigarette. I haven't smoked since, no more depressive mood and ptsd. Few doses of shroom experience made a 15 year 2 pack a day smoker quit instantly. Shrooms are life changing. There is no way you can put into words what it feels like..
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Yes sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Shrooms can really help break the spell. Whatever spell you may be under.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
I smoked for 20yrs, switched to vape as a quit method, reduced the nicotine slowly over a few months untill I was vaping with no nicotine. Now I'm here 3yrs later and I might pick up my vape once every couple of months. It is a great way to quit.
@@dopesick7710 I dunno. I smoked for 22 years. Trird to quit several times, several different methods. Vaping helped me stopped smoking. I no longer get bronchitis 2-3x year. I can breathe, walk stairs, jog, so many things I just couldn't do while smoking cigarettes. IME, vaping is *definitely* a healthier alternative, and now I'm working on stopping vaping
Smoked for 22yrs then tried vaping as I've tried everything else. I've been cigarette free for 6.5yrs , the past two years I've been vaping 0% nicotine. I feel healthier than ever and at 45yrs old I'm very active now with martial arts, bmx and just staying in shape. Vaping saved my life and I plan on putting it down in about six months. As I don't need it anymore, it's done it's job.
I'm 25 and I smoke quite a bit. I used to vape and I would save money, but now there's no vape juices in my area, I continue to smoke. Fucking government, taking something that is essential for quitting away. For me, I probably can't kick the nicotine habit, but to quit smoking cigs, I'd feel like it would be better. Not all the way better, but better.
@@w1ngman05 I actually think he was 8 if my math is correct. He says he hasn't thought about a cigarette in 6 years and smoked for 25 years before that. That's 31 years. He says he is 39. 39-31=8. Crazy to think of, but some people do start that young.
I stopped smoking 🚬 2 years ago. Cold turkey 🦃 My body had a very severe decline in energy and my metabolism took a major dive. However, that lasted for about 6 months and my body put on over 20 pounds without changing anything! I found out what was wrong after consulting with a couple of doctors. I educated myself about insulin resistance and intermittent fasting. I've lost 23 pounds and my energy levels have skyrocketed. No more smoking, EVER! My meals include only organic whole foods and absolutely NO grains or seed oils. Grass fed dairy snd beef occasionally and pasture run eggs and poultry. All of this because I decided to walk the talk and puty health as my number One priority. Thank you for this info on vaping. It's like people who take ozempic instead of fixing what they eat. Vaping is not a solution to stopping smoking, stopping IS. ❤ PS I am 74 years old.
Thank you so much for your comment. I will follow your advice. - I haven't smoked for 15 days. - I still have a long way to go. This time I am determined and I want to be able to stop smoking. - I will definitely have to go on a diet because I am gaining weight. Best regards from Italy. 😊💐🙏
I quit 12 years ago, just stopped the day my daughter was born. I had severe night sweats, waking up lying in a puddle and had to lay towels down to get back to sleep and wash the sheets daily for 6 months, the first 2 weeks was tough getting out of the habbit of lighting up when bored but after that just the sweats for months. Soo glad i stopped
I love that the hospital lets you make these videos. They are extremely informative and helpful to understand how things affect our bodies by showing real organs so we can see what issues certain things are causing in a real organ. I hope that makes sense.
This guy is great, very rare to see someone as unbiased towards vaping as this guy, actually well informed and not telling us what to do, just giving us the pros and cons and his personal opinion. Would love to have him as a teacher
@@vincentjoly9312 There is no THC, vit e or even nicotine (in most countries) in vape products. What he is referring to are black market products. You can buy black market anything and have them be damaging to your health. What he is doing here is damaging an industry already at risk of ruin. There ARE regulations in vaping. So he undone every other point by stating otherwise.
I smoked cigarettes for 40 years, in 2019 I Vaped and lowered my nicotine and quit smoking cigarettes and vaping.! I never thought I'd be able to quit smoking with a little hard work. Enjoy your channel keep up the good work God bless🙌🇺🇸🙏
@@tripswithtom How? And are you talking about vaping in general or the iilegal thc cartridges that had high levels of vitamin e acetate in them? Genuinely curious btw.
I quit smoking after 34 years as a moderate to heavy smoker. I used a vape as my vehicle of choice and I simply cut down monthly 1mg of nicotine at a time. I started at 10 mg and within about 10 months was at 0 mg. Another 2 or 3 months and I was off the vaping too. I'm convinced that short term vaping saved my life, and I've now become fairly athletic and full of energy. Update 2 years later: This December will mark the 6 year anniversary from quitting. I've never had the desire to smoke again. Good luck to all who try to quit using this approach, or any other method for that matter.
Well done man. I'm at the very beginning of quiting after 15 years of mostly smoking. Vaped on and off for a while quitting before and it's always led back to cigarettes. I think my personality is too addictive to even have it in my life. It's the same reason I don't buy packs of fresh baked cookies haha they will get overly consumed!
@@cygneturesounds I spent years talking myself into reasons why I couldn't quit. I too used the excuse that I had an addictive personality, but once you're truly ready, I'm sure you can do it too. Don't ever give up, and keep fighting it. Attitude will be your biggest reason for success, or failure. Good luck!
I smoked for more than 40 years and the ONLY thing that allowed me to stop was vaping. From the very first day I used an unflavored vape to get my nicotine fix I stopped smoking tobacco. I was amazed that the constant urge to light a cigarette had completely disappeared. In a matter of a few weeks there was tremendous improvement in my breathing and my ability to walk without getting out of breath. I was still getting nicotine but no longer getting all the tar and CO that comes with burning tobacco. I would never endorse vaping for anything except as a step toward getting off of tobacco. There is no comparison between the damage done by burning tobacco and the damage cause by vaping. It truly is "the lesser of two evils".
You sound exactly like me. I had an almost exact same experience. My theory is that the chemicals found in cigarettes is what is killing people. I'm still vaping our homemade liquid for 6 years. I've had a chest ex ray every year. I come out clean each time. My lungs are pink again. 40 yrs on cigarettes.
i just wanna say that i haven’t told this to anyone for the purpose of self control, I have quit vaping after 2 1/2yrs and i’ve been free of nic for about month😁
i am going to give this a try . i have trouble quitting smoking entirely , the whole weight gain made me feel super uncomfortable and as soon as i started smoking again, i was back to being relatively slim.
Edit:- Thank you everyone for pointing out my mistake in reading the comment. Congratulations to you for your achievement 👍 My original reply:- I'm confused. You quit smoking 2 1/2yrs ago and free of nic for about a month. What nicotine substitute were you using?
Congrats! I weened myself off smoking with a vape device and gloves nicotine. Then my state made flavored vape juice illegal to sell here. That change really is what made me stop vaping completely so right now I have no nicotine addiction! But if I’m honest I do miss vaping a little bit, it was very nice to relax with a yummy tasting vape.
My dad was an avid smoker for most of his life. He was always coughing, that loud disgusting rough and phlegmy cough that really scared my family and I. We forced him to switch to vaping as a better alternative, he was against it at first but he soon completely switched to vaping and never touched a cigarette again. He doesn’t cough anymore and he even says that his chest feels so much better and that he can breath properly. Vaping may not be a good habit but it can certainly help people with extreme cigarette addictions.
I tried so many time to give up always started smoking again vaping helped me to stop smoking without it I would be still smoking. I make my own juice I don’t use cartridges I know what is in my e juice.
I’m pretty happy to hear all the stories of people who moved from smoking to vaping to nothing at all. It’s pretty awesome to see people move forwards in things they want to do to better themselves.
I’m two weeks without vaping and I’ve been leaning off for about 3 months with regularly vaping for 3 years before that. I’m having insane withdrawals but this definitely helps me stay away LOL
The negative environmental impact from vaping is worse than cigs, also the manufacturing companies who make like Goodcat dump pure nicotine down the drain to make more ppl addicted to nicotine
@@DefundTheFringes i never did it to be cool i swear no one even see me when i vaping i just hope i quit this trash but every time i decide to i get more problem in life and i go back
I started vaping and smoking cigarettes since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source🙏🏻
YES very sure of Dr.raymycology. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, BPD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
I’m 40 years old and had been smoking cigarettes since I was 18, I’ve tried a lot of different ways to stop smoking cigarettes, nothing worked, well about little over 2 years ago I went into a vape shop and got a mod after hearing ppl have found success in quitting cigarettes and switching to Vaping, I really didn’t think it would wk, I was very skeptical and I was thinking I’m about to just waste 150 bucks. well I’m here to say it did indeed work that day I got my mod little over 2 years ago I haven’t had a cigarette since. I started off using 6mg of nicotine in my juice then after about 1 year I took it to 3mg of nicotine in my juice, and then just this year I have switched to zero nicotine in my juice, and I’m to that point I don’t need to vape anymore. Being around cigarettes does not bother me either anymore or have any craving to even want to smoke again, I can tell you I can’t stand the smell anymore of a cigarette and I can’t believe I would smell like that after a cigarette it’s quite disgusting. Just wanted to tell my story, and say vaping got me off cigarettes. I feel so so much better and feel so much more healthier. And I’m saving a shit ton of money not smoking…
@Joey pooschke well Joey you have nearly 100 likes but I would like to be the first to congratulate you in person Well done never go back. I first started smoking when I was 16 nearly 64 years ago. I don't think in those days that tobacco had the same addictive chemicals added to it as modern tobacco may have. I progressed from cigarettes to the occasional King Edward cigar, but my favourite was Balkan Sobrani Smoking Mixture in a Peterson's pipe, I also used the small half sphere plaster pellets in the base of the bowl to help absorb both moisture and nicotine from the tobacco. Although I never smoked more than half an ozs to one ozs a week I often gave up for 3 to 6 months at a time. I eventually gave up completely when I got to the age of 35 when I became more aware of the long term health risks. I must confess that even 15 years later after giving up completely I still had the odd craving for a pipe full of Sobrani it had the most pungent of smells but a divine taste and after half a pipe full you felt like you were on cloud nine. I find cigarette smell the most repulsive and cannot stand it at any price. Good luck with your intention to give up and Stay Safe.
that's amazing. By the way, I don't know, why the hell nicotine affects the organism differently. In my case, I started smoking in 2020. And 2+ years later, I quitted. I literally can't explain how did I do that so easily. Maybe I'll try to describe in details. Prologue : smoking helped me lose weight, I lost 27-30 pounds, bcuz cigarettes made me eat less. I said to myself - what am I doing. I'm literally a man at the top of my physical conditions - I'm young, strong, smart and handsome, and I ruin my health with cigs. I said it to myself, and quitted. It was not an easy task, I reduced smoking in sober mode ( smoked only while drinking beer ). That's it. After a journey to my motherland ( Dagestan, Caucasus ), I literally feel like I don't want to smoke anymore. As I said previously, cigs made me eat less, and now I eat more) I feel like that's the healthy stuff. better eat more , but healthy food, instead of less and some fast-food/snack stuff.
congrates mate.well done.smoking is an addiction.you passed it.newsflash..we all have to die.healthy people just die slower.quote by ricky gervais in "after life"
My state banned vaping just as I started using vaping as a way to quit smoking. I smoked for a year longer than I wanted to because I didn't have a car at the time to drive over the state line. Now I vape and completely quit cigarettes! I can breathe and don't get chest pains anymore! I Plan to quit vaping soon too but it's been a God send for quitting cigarettes.
@@mayva6842 My governor also banned menthol cigarettes. Bodegas still have them though. They go out of state and buy cartons of them and then turn around and sell them for $12 -$13 dollars a pack! Banning things only drives the product underground. People still buy and sell them.
@@Deminogg no not at all there are things much more harmful and much less harmful but its dangerous because vape juice contains so many diffrent chemicals that that cause long term effects like Popcorn lungs
This is an unproven supposition. Quite the opposite actually. No problems with vaping have cropped up despite two to three decades of mass use now. While it is proven that switching from smoking to vaping is readily adopted by all smokers and immediately causes the same healing as quitting. The difference is, quitting is usually a failure while tapering off with vaping has a 100% success rate. This is most important in populations with serious pulmonary disease. It is often difficult to say, get lung cancer patients to quit smoking as they take on the attitude that they will die anyway. Yet you get the same effect of quitting using vaping instead and usually, the patient, once they try it, prefers it to cigarettes. One thing to know about twinkletoes here. Although I don't know his motivations personally, I do know that most of the anti-vaping rhetoric is paid for, promoted and provided for by cigarette companies.
@@hillalahmadzai9042 Wrong. Popcorn lung with vaping is a myth. Research. My cousin is a lung doctor, these things come up in conversation all the time.
Smoked cigarettes for 15 years, quit and went to vaping. The first year of vaping my lungs felt a heck of a lot better but after vaping for 3 years, I’ve noticed my lungs feeling unhealthy again. Best thing to do is quit smoking/vaping.
I have vaped since March, it has absolutely hammered my lungs. I have quit twice but relapsed. I haven't vaped in 48 hours, this stuff is worse to me than when I smoked cigarettes.
I never thought that I would be able to quit smoking. Yes, it was literally killing me. My breathing was out of control. I began vaping and dropped the cigs, cold turkey.....I rarely pick the vape up now.....6 weeks since I gave up smoking the cigarette. That's quite the feat for me. I don't miss the cigs at all...not even a little bit.
@@shade247 There is nicotine in vapes but way less than cigs. Most vape liquid today has 3 or 6 mg whereas cigs have ~15 up to 24 mg. It also was not well controlled so you could get a pack with 15 one day and the next pack a few days later could be 18. I don't know for sure but I think it was done intentionally by companies to make it harder to quit. Of course, you can get vape liquid with more nicotine and I actually purchased my liquid from a company that would give me custom amount of nicotine. Started at 15 because that's what I needed to stay off cigs and dropped it down slowly to 3. Best way to quit is to slowly reduce the nicotine.
I smoked for 24 years and got where I couldn't even walk up a flight of steps without running out of breath.. I switched to vaping almost as soon as it came out, roughly 12 years ago. In that 12 years I have never experienced any of those side effects you mentioned but within 6 months of switching from cigarettes to vaping I was able to start working out doing cardio .... that lead to me doing several long distance hikes (more than 300 miles each). Last year, I got diagnosed with cancer ... not from smoking but from HPV. Because I am so physically fit, I was given an 85% recovery rate over 12 months .... its now been 19 months. I still work out doing both cardio and weight lifting and to be honest, vaping gave me my life back. Drs said I was one of the healthiest 50 year olds they have ever seen .... no high blood pressure, no cholesterol, etc ... just had cancer and I kicked its a%^ too. I think one of the biggest things about vaping safely is buying from reputable brands and reputable dealers. I'm not into that thc and all the other crap ... oh yea, did I mention I actually vape 0mg nicotine ... why? Well, the motion of smoking is actually harder to quit than the nicotine.
As a healthcare professional and instructor I believe this channel does the public a great service. So many of us know so little about our bodies that it really is shameful. Thank you for your continued work.
I agree This is a Great channel but this Video was Really misleading with some misinformation Like those Harmful ingredients found such as Vitamine E Acetate which was The Cause of this Problem was found NOT in Regular Nicotine Vaping But in ILLEGAL!!! THC BLACK MARKET!!! Cartridges Sold by DRUG DEALERS!!! Because Vitamine E Acetate is NOT!!! in Regular LEGAL Nicotine Vaping Products I smoked 13 years Could Never quit tried it all I Stopped Smoking with Vaping as my Tool and am Now Smoke and Vape FREE Vaping Saved My LIFE!!!
@@chrismiksworld Just saying, vitamin E acetate was also found in THC cartridges that were being legally sold in dispensaries. So it wasn't just black market stuff sold by drug dealers. While Vitamin E acetate was really a problem only THC cartridges had, that doesn't mean normal/nicotine vaping is safe. Do you know what bronchiolitis obliterans is? It is a disease that can be caused by inhaling the chemical diacetyl, it's more commonly known as popcorn lung. You can find this diacetyl in some vape juices, even ones that say they do not contain any. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.est.7b02205 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6887563/#b68-191e1321 But back to the misleading claim, I don't think it's correct to say he gave any misinformation intentionally. It's more likely that there was an oversight in the writing/researching phase. People make mistakes.
I smoked for 18 years. I vaped for three weeks to quit smoking. I am now smoke-free nine years. Best decision I’ve ever made. Lungs are healthy. Good to go.
Vaping is 100% responsible for giving me exactly what I needed to QUIT smoking! Once I made the switch from cigarettes to vapes, I gradually titrated my nicotine levels down to - eventually - zero. I have officially been completely free of both for 2 years and counting! Thank you for this fabulous channel!
Me too! My story is very similar to yours! And I was one of those people who really didn't want to quit. I switched to vapong and it made cigarettes smell so gross I was completely turned off by them. Slowly weaned of of vaping and now I am completely done with it all!
Hi Shawna! I'm right there with you. I didn't want to quit either. In fact, I LOVED smoking. Then my best friend introduced me to vaping, and - lo and behold - it worked! You're absolutely right. Only once you've distanced yourself from the cigarettes and regained your sense of smell will you realize how HORRIBLE they smell! Congrats on quitting! 🤜🤛
I did exact same thing. Then vaped for about ten years. Finally started getting shortness of breath from vaping and gave it up 10 months ago. Very much into resistance training, so I’m glad this is all behind me now. But as you said, vaping helped me get there.
I packed up smoking cigarettes in 2011 after a heart attack. I started vaping as a tool to quit,13 years later i am still vaping with no issues at all . But i use the original E cig (That looks like a cigarette 🚬) The liquid goes in the cartomizer (filter end ) and has a gauze type cotton wool inside which means less liquid going into the lungs so less harsh . My cardiologist/ doctor has checked my lung capacity and condition and is all good . I don't intend on quitting vaping anytime soon as i still enjoy it
As someone who managed to quit smoking cigarettes but was never interested in vaping I have to say that the hardest part about quitting isn't the nicotine (I tried all kinds of nicotine products to help me quit for years), the hardest part is just the act of smoking, just the habit in itself is the best part about smoking and the biggest reason why it was so hard for me to quit so I can definitely see why vaping as an alternative to cigarettes can be an easier way out.
I think you made the case for the opposite: the act of vaping is much more convenient to do all day, indoors, outdoors, and easy to hide than smoking a cigarette. It can be easier to form a strong vaping habit. And if it's that habitual act that's the appeal, wouldn't that make vaping even harder to kick?
Yeah I'm finding it hard to quit not because the nicotine but because i just enjoy the act of smoking I don't even get a buzz when I smoke unless I go a good couple of hours or in the morning when I have my first smoke
Nicotine is the culprit due to its addictive nature but even the ancient Egyptians consumed nicotine. Throughout the ages people have loved their vices like caffeine nicotine and opium. Nothings gonna stop people this. So if vaping is a relatively safe way to consume nicotine without the risks of cigarette smoking then by all means let them do it!
There are many alternatives to smoking cigarettes, just as is mentioned in the video - so the better option is to try something else than vaping. But yeah if you had only those two options, overall smoking is even worse.
Vaping has been a godsend for quitting cigarrettes this past few months. I'm down to zero nicotine in my liquid and plan to quit vaping as well shortly.
I used it to quit smoking too, and also continue to reduce the nicotine level. Hope to quit vaping, too, eventually. But, after smoking cigarettes for 40 years, and using the vape for about six months, I'll take my small victories where I can get them.
Me too! I quit smoking after 45 years. Picked up a vape and some nic gum and am now working to get rid of the vape and the gum. I am finding the vape and gum are WAY easier to give up than the cigs. Here is to being nicotine free shortly!!! Good luck to you!
I stopped smoking to then vape I felt worse off vaping then went to nicotine spray then thought sod it it's time and went cold turkey every time I had a craving I chewed a piece of chewing gum ...cravings lasted 3 days that's it ...wow I feel so stupid for all that money and lung health wasted but I haven't smoked in years so I'm very pleased....just if I could turn back time I'd be richer for sure ...great video it's so fascinating the human body ...
As a confirmed vaper of many years who smoked for almost 20 years before that, all I have to say is: don't ever smoke. If you do smoke, please try to switch to vaping. If you vape, try to reduce your nicotine levels. And if you don't smoke or vape, just keep right on doing what you're doing! :)
thankfully high schoolers nowadays if they try cigarettes tend to prefer vapes which is better for lung health but i believe more addictive because of the nicotine content
I smoked for 22 years, started using champix and was smoke free within 2 weeks. I only used the medication for 12 weeks in total. I’m now 2 years 7 months smoke free!
@@iloveblackjack8753i used to smoke for about 2 years in my high school i can say that taste is quite different and stopped right after i can tell you that the taste is different the things you eat taste livelier
I used champix back in 2011.. did I quit? Sure, but my body wanted a substitution seeing it didnt get the nicotene anymore. GAINED a lot of weight after that!
My husband smoked for years :( I was desperate to get him to stop. He moved on to vaping. He has a super addictive personality. And he uses smoking to help him feel better. But for the last few years he has only been vaping. He has a LOT less nicotine, uses his vape far less than the cigarettes (he used to smoke 2 packs a day) and honestly, he doesn't smell disgusting. Oh and it's waaay cheaper. I absolutely wish he wouldn't vape either but I'm so grateful that he's willing to vape instead of smoke. Sooo grateful.
@@gabriel55671 as a former smoker myself a HUGE part of why gum didnt work for me was because part of the addiction is the action, not just the chemical. Something that doesnt get talked about a lot is that part of why the action of smoking "calms people down" isn't just the chemical, it's also the action of regulating your breathing. Anyway, yeah vaping a very natural progression because it's a very similar in action to smoking cigarettes, as opposed to chewing gum.
Good for you. It is a better alternative. Tell him to try the 0% juice and gradually mix more in more into his nicotine juice. Eventually, that might get him off the nicotine addiction. When the reward centers in his brain stop lighting up from the vape, he'll put it down eventually, might take a few years, but it'll happen once you get the nicotine out of the equation.
@@gabriel55671 The gum doesn't work. Neither does Chantix (weird fucking LSD dreams are a nice plus though), and the lozenges make you puke your guts out.
No apology needed. I really thought in the beginning that this would be like every other anti-vaping biased video, but when you mentioned vitamin E acetate and THC I realized you had actually done research and I really appreciate you taking a fully scientific approach. I have seen so many "marijuana madness" style vape attack videos and you did not condemn nor approve of vaping you simply stated the facts without personal interest or gain. Thank you.
I think this video was great I besides the fact that the “Vitamin E and THC” madness that was hsppening happened around the time “fakes” or “crap” Carts(thc catridges) were being sold I had a lot of friends end up in the hospital because of this but most didn’t admit that it was a Cart(basically weed) bc in my state weed is illegal so this Lead to a lot of misinformation Vaping and Basically smoking weed are 2 very different things that people seem to get mis informed about. VAPING is in my opinion and most tobacco shops that sell this is the sale of “Eliquids Or vape juice containing nicotine A highly addictive substance” no shop in my state will sell CARTS (Bc they have weed and there is no such thing as THC juice) carts are unique in the sense that they Are PURELY DISTILLED THC OIL meaning it’s basically just weed that is safely regulated at a certain temperature but is A very SEPERATE thing from vaping, Vaping is defined by NICOTINE and not WEED/THC. The approach was correct but the misguided notion that this directly correlates to VAPING is wrong nowhere that you go to buy A VAPE or VAPE PEN or DISPOSABLE VAPE or PUFF BAR will say “MAY CONTAIN NICOTINE A HIGHLY ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE” NONE OF THEM WILL say “contains THC” bc well you can’t just sell THC like that. There was a small issue with shitty CARTS getting around I haven’t heard anything recently but this issue happened 2 years ago now I wanna say most people called it or said they were VAPING to avoid getting a charge NONE OF THIS IS FACTUAL IM GOING BASED OF MY OWN KNOWLEDGE IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING I DONT PLEASE DO FEEL FREE TO ENLIGHTEN ME THIS IS PURELY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AND FROM MY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OF WHAT MY DUMBASS FRIENDS HAVE DONE thank you for reading my TED TALK xD
@@Jonathan1067MCPE actually when yhu buy a disposable or a puff bar it will tell yhu if it contains nicotine in my experience every disposable and puff bar I had either said *(contains nicotine)* or it said *(5% nicotine)* but we may live in to different states so it may be different but this was my experience with vaping and what was said on the vape product
I've seen this video recommended to me so many times and thought it'd just be another "VAPING IS GOING TO KILL YOU" "study" funded by tobacco companies to scare people back to smoking. Having just watched my first "Institute of Human Anatomy" video today on the rabies virus, I finally knew who these guys were (and not some "institute" created again, by tobacco companies to portray a one sided "study" to demonize vaping) and decided to give it a shot. Excellently fair video on vaping, to be honest.
I was going to jump a conclusion but the only thing I'll say is it isn't a bias people are suffering cause people duck with the carts making it poisoned and the chemicals in them purely make it factually harmful also they only released these as a way to kick the addiction not smoke long term juul company admitted this and they did no test they just sold the product
Been vaping for 7 years , prior to that I was a life long smoker who was up to almost.3 packs a day, my lungs and health were in very bad condition , I switched to vaping and in a short period of time I stopped coughing in the morning , I use to cough for about 35 minutes when I woke up, it was so bad at times I would be close to blacking out, I had no lung capacity before long I was able to walk up stairs and not have probs, after a few years I have full lung capacity back , I can breath, I sleep better , my snoring is almost non existent, food tastes amazing, I can smell a cigarette a mike away, all of these are the same as quitting smoking, the nicotine in a ecig is not as addictive as one through a cigarette and it’s basically like caffeine in a way, I can not vape for hours if I chose to and not physically need it, to as where in a cigarette I could only maybe make it a hour or two and I physically needed one, there is no combustion from vaping, this is where smoking has its huge prob, you are lighting something on fire and inhaling it, it’s like running into a burning house and taking a deep inhale of the smoke, what has happened in the last few years that has gone under the umbrella of vaping is these pods and carts for small vaping devices, now a lot of these are carts that are premade, a lot of young adults band teens were getting black market carts which a dealer would cut the thc with vitamin e acitate which causes all these probs, regular vaping , no thc or vitamin e acitate , just pg/vg, flavoring and nic or no nic eliquid there is no probs, even England has done a study on it deeming it 95% safer than smoking, hospitals have vape shops, but in this country big tobacco rules the media and the FDA all in the name of safety for our children, well let’s think about it and I do not condone vaping for anyone who is not addicted to smoking and espically anyone under the age limit, just don’t do it, what I found funny is that if there was no vaping kids would still all be smoking in high school and nothing would be said against that, no new laws banning smoking which we know what it does, but that’s ok, my thing is if you want to ban vaping then why are cigarettes still available anywhere 2 mins from your house? When listening to media and stuff just follow the money and it becomes clear, vaping saved my life , just a opinion from a former heavy smoker
As someone who vapes, I appreciate this video. I was scared to hear how damaging it is but it has effected me for the worst where I need it when stressed and I can barely exercise because I get out of breath so easily. I've been vaping for a year. I know quitting cold turkey can be unrealistic but I definitely want to cut back and eventually quit.
never quit cold turkey, 90% people fail, slowly ease your body into receiving less nicotine. Ex: cut your nicotine intake by 1/2 every 3 days; remember this is only to avoid withdrawals. The only thing you have to do after that is make sure you stay dedicated
Thanks for this comprehensive video. I’ve never smoked or vaped, but I have grandsons who vape. It has continued to be a concern of mine. I’m passing your video along to them with the hope that it will give them food for thought.
I smoked for 50yrs. Vaping was the only way for me to stop ( after developing Asthma ) . I vape, I use nicotine free vape. and have never looked back after 3yrs. In fact I rarely even vape now ( just the hands habit sometimes ). My lungs have never felt better. Thats the only report I can deliver and it is a honest one.
@@Covert_Op Thanks Gary. I won,t ever go back to smoking again. ( will never need too. ) I think our friend Rosie has maybe been in lockdown too long. ;-)
I remember the final investigation results the CDC came out with after that “outbreak”. Most of the THC vaping issues was suspected to have come from non very reputable sources. A lot of these cases were in states where THC use is still illegal. It’s why it’s soooo important to get your stuff from a reputable source. And why although regulation and standards are important here, flat out making it illegal is a bad idea.
I agree. I live in a non-medical/recreational state. I'm also 39 and have been smoking cigarettes for 31 years now. Yes. I started smoking cigarettes at roughly 8 years old. Not good. But, it happened. I have had my L lung collapse twice now. I was diagnosed ay the end of 2018 with emphysema. And shortly after in 2019 with COPD. The inhalers the doctor gave me for use when needed. Did nothing unless I over used them. Like the recommended dose to be 2 puffs as needed. It turned out that 6 plus was the only time it ever worked. My doctor told me to use 6 then. Ummm, what??? That much steroids to the lungs cannot be necessarily a good thing for a nonlicensed person to do for themselves. The reason for this conclusion is at 6 puffs of an inhaler there is so much additional propellants added to the steroids that it would make me light headed, dizzy, and sometimes cause my vision to go black. Therefore it cannot be good for someone who is not in a controlled environment to administer this dosage to themselves. Although this was a conversation I had with my doctor. His response was... Dr: " Have you found anything that helps with these episodes?" Me: Yes. Actually I have. Dr: Okay. What works for you? Me: Vapeing DAB. Dr: What is DAB? Me: It's an extractive honey from Marijuana. Dr: Okay? How is it done, and how does it help? Me: I use a water pipe. I heat up a quartz piece to temp then drop the oil onto the quartz piece and hit it causing the vapor to go through the water filtration and into my lungs. It helps because I have all of this mucus that builds up in my lungs. By Dabbing, It causes me to cough. Which causes me to cough up this mucus. And trust me Doc. When I hit it, I make it count. I cough so much mucus up that when I catch my breath after. I can take deep, deep breaths. Dr: How often do you need to do this? Me: Honestly. Only once or twice a day. Dr: Really? Well I can't tell you to continue doing it. But, if it works for you. I'm not going to tell you to stop. Me: I didn't plan on stopping. Just being honest with you. After that the doctor told me that he was surprised by my lung functionality test. Which was 89%. He said even normal non smoking lungs are anywhere between 92- 96%. So my lung functionality is actually really high considering. ( Lol. Pun not intended, but funny.) My opinion through my own research leads me to believe that dabbing isn't going to hurt worse than the cigarettes I smoke. And yes I do still smoke cigarettes. I was on medication to help me quit. Then the rona happened. I'm high risk due to lung conditions and the medications to help you quit smoking lowers your immune system and with a pandemic going on. It'll take cigarettes longer to kill me than the stats with the rona. So I made a choice. Plus with research on MMJ. It has been found to slow and even combat cancer cells. So I'm going to keep doing it for my health.
In New Mexico we just went legal for recreational once the government purchased the dispensaries. Needless to say, I don't trust dispensary weed. They're GMOing it.
Really appreciate you taking the time to make this informative video! Been a long time smoker 15+ years. Started having serious trouble breathing and negatively affected my overall health. Vaping comes along and literally saved my life. Found it very easy to transition from cigarettes to vaping, just weened myself off the analogs and went digital. Decreased the nic in my juice down to zero and been off cigarettes for quite some time now (lost track). Breathing has improved significantly and now only vape every now and then. To anybody struggling with this let me say if I can do it, then you can do it. You got this!
It’s just completely insane to me that people couldn’t deduce for themselves that smoking or vaping is bad for you. Like you learn in school that being trapped in a room with fire will kill you because of smoke inhalation, it doesn’t take much thought to think “hmmm is that because smoke in your lungs is bad for you? Bad enough to kill you?” Yet people can’t apply the same thinking to fucking SMOKING. I can’t tell if it’s stupidity or pure ignorance
It saved your life until it ends up killing you. Remember nobody knows the long term effects of vaping. It could end up being worse than cigarettes. I have grandparents who lived into their mid 80s smoking cigarettes for 70 years.
By the way, that little chemical list that they made for what's in e-cig liquid... multiply that x 100 for a cigarette. I vaped for nearly 14 years after being a 2 pack a day smoker. On top of that I inhaled cigars regularly and smoked other stuff. Switching to e-cigs made my life much much better. However, I have since quit and now enjoy inhaling air. Moral of the story, don't smoke, don't vape but if you MUST it's better to vape.
This is the fairest video on vaping I have seen. Well done. There is a lot of misinformation out there pushed by people who have not done enough research about vaping. Thanks for being fair and open.
Exactly. My governor banned vaping in my state at the same time I started vaping to quit smoking. I unfortunately smoked for a year longer than I wanted to but now have transportation to get over state lines to buy it. He banned it on incorrect information of course.
@Sky L if you're not using a normal nicotine liquid then you shouldn't be dependent. You don't get addicted to THC or CBD like you do nicotine and other drugs.
@@donniedial3014 - I don't particularly find Nicotine in itself to be addictive, i can vape pure Nicotine (salt or freebase) and for some reason it just doesn't hit the spot and sends me back to the Tobacco, there's something else in Tobacco that's addictive and that people are wanting, but imo it's not Nicotine. Many people have made the point that if Nicotine was THE compound that's hooking people, then pure Nicotine would be enough, so gum, patches, pouches, vapes, yet most smokers who try vaping end up going back to Tobacco and say they're just not the same and while Nicotine does scratch a certain itch, the effect is small compared to what else is in Tobacco. Now, if i vape a vuse pod, i do feel that's addictive, but i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the flavoring in it, rather than the Nicotine, as i've bought the same strength Nicotine salt in unflavored liquid, and it doesn't have anywhere near the same effect as the vuse pods do, so they're slippin' something else in the pods that ain't Nicotine that certainly makes a hell of a difference.
I decided to quit smoking and made my plan. I was going to vape, ween off nicotine and then eventually not do either. Not the convenience store puff bars. A nice mod system. Now, before I quit cigarettes, climbing stairs was hard. I coughed ALL the time. I had a lot of fluid in my lungs. Then I transitioned over to the vape. After about 2 weeks, I was already breathing better. Coughing was 80% gone. I continued to vape as I reduced the level of nicotine over my plan's time frame. Once I got to 0 MG, I continued to vape but I started not taking it with me to stores or for short trips. Then, my family just noticed one day they hadn't seen my vape. I hadn't used it for 3 days. Now, I know there are a ton of people who debate this issue. Here is my take. For me, the vape was like training wheels and a way to break a pattern and habit in my behavior. I didn't just lose my mind and walk around grumpy. If I hadn't used the vape, I would still be smoking. The "have a plan" thing is spot on. Nothing foreign in the lungs is the best all around but if you can utilize a method to stop smoking, in the end, it turns out for the best. With mods you have to change coils and charge batteries. The fluid is cheaper and some is sweet enough it cut the candy cravings you can get when you quit smoking. Every time I tried before, I relapsed eventually. I would gain 40 to 60 lbs. With the vape, I was able to avoid that. Now, I don't do either. The point was to get better, not switch one habit for the next. Didn't want to be a slave to the substances anymore. I am a person who doesn't do well with "cold turkey". Call it what you want, mental weakness, whatever, but my plan worked and I AM SO MUCH better now. No more inhalers, no more coughing. I kept a pack of cigarettes in the house while I transitioned and I kept my vape charged and on a shelf for awhile after I was "done". It wasn't a just in case scenario for me. It was me taking control of me. If I wanted something, I didn't want someone else to tell me what to do or to feel trapped without the OPTION. They were there, and after awhile, I wasn't afraid to let go. I keep that pack and the vape to this day. Now it is a reminder that I accomplished something. They are always right there, but now I use it as a reminder that I wanted the change, set out with a plan, and accomplished it. For the record, cigarettes are terrible for people. They stink. Vapes smell better, but they are still not good for you. Your lungs need good, clean healthy air. So, if you have tried quitting but can't, this was my method. In the beginning all the different juices and flavors really kind of perked things up. Felt like I was doing something new, but something fun and exciting. I used my vape as I weened off for 6 months. 12 years later...fresh air, stronger lungs.
I did the same- hoped to cut down nicotine but 4 years later and I’m still on it..I smoked for 9 years, coughing every day bringing up brown stuff 😩 but I no longer cough at all. I still need to wean off but I don’t feel ready
@@Jaders93 I’m at the hospital with COPD right now - almost suffocated - smoked most of my life 😿 Smoking isn’t worth it - no more cigarettes for me! All the best to you, take care🙏🏻 Jesus Christ is Lord 👑
@@MyLove-qi6lg hey mate. Hope u get better soon. Maybe thisl help you: Im on day 10 now from 2-3 packs a day since i lit up. I actually tried vaping with sub ohm over the last few years. It never really worked to get me off cigs. Turns out the nicotine from the big mods is what they call freebase and doent get absorbed as easily as cigs. So you kinda always sit with some level of withdrawl. After my last payday i went to buy a nic salts pod. Just cause ive tried it and it was nice. 2 days later i ran outta cigs and didnt even feel like buying more. Went from 3 packs a day to nothing without even trying. A few days after that i just decided im done with it. So if you fail now to cold turkey it. Try a pod system. You can ramp down the nicotine levels over time. But it definitely worked much better for me than normal sub ohm vaping. Wish u the best mate
As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder majority of my life I would love if you guys could make a video discussing the physical effects of ED’s like anorexia and bulimia on the body.
Having smoked for nearly 40 years I can tell you that vaping is much less hazardous. Yup it still has nicotine because that's the way I want it but I was addicted to nicotine long before I started vaping. The way I started vaping is I had a lung infection so bad they put me in a coma for 11 days. Through some complications I wound up in the hospital for nearly a month. Instead of trying to go back to smoking I was convinced to start vaping and to this day I am glad. The cigarette manufacturers are the ones behind the push to end vaping. They are missing their profits.
yeah, it makes sense, cigarette manufacturers are behind all of this stuff, saying if you have to choose between vaping or smoking do vaping is the less dangerous of the 2
It's VERY IMPORTANT to understand that "vaping" is a very broad term. It's also important to have, at least, the slightest bit of understanding before forming an opinion. E-cigarettes use a water-soluble liquid that can contain nicotine. THC concentrate vapes use an oil based liquid. There are dry herb vaporizers that can control heat applied to activate certain ingredients without combusting the plant matter. You can even get drunk inhaling the fumes off a heated alcoholic beverages. E-cigarette/nicotine liquid is highly regulated and highly studied, though of course the long term (25+ years) effects are still unknown. We do understand that it is significantly less harmful than smoking cigarettes, but obviously worse than not inhaling any substance. With legalization, THC concentrate vapes, as well as cannabis in general, will recieve more study into it's health effects, and get more quality regulation. For VITAMIN E ACETATE- it has never, and will never exist in e-cigarette/nicotine liquids. It can't. It is oil-soluble, not water soluble. They simply do not mix. It's generally thought that a dry herb vaporizer for cannabis is less harmful than smoking, but it's unkown if vaping a THC oil concentrate is less harmful than smoking.
Hit it perfectly.. I would also add. 2 of the biggest hospitals across the pond. Installed vape shops to deter people from smoking.. they also allow vaping on grounds...
I'd say one important clarification is that you seem to be speaking of products that are actually regulated. Those cases where the hospital found amounts of vitamin E and such probably came from cases where kids used totally unregulated stuff from china and nobody knows what may have been in it.
This video is very misleading. The guy supposes in his video that "most" vaping liquids contains Vitamin E Acetate and THC. He didn't even consider that most vaping liquids contain only 4 ingredients: propelyn glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavoring and nicotine. None of which have studies indicating they cause any diseases of the lungs. Propelene Glycol by the way is the same ingredient found in asthma nebulizers and most food grade products use PG. Vegetable glycerin is widely used in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. For instance, it is often added to foods to help oil and water-based ingredients mix, sweetening or moistening the final product. This guy must be part of the Tobacco Industry propaganda to hate on vaping. Either that a supporter of the pharmaceutical industry which is getting a hit because nicotine patches and candies are less popular because of vaping.
@@ConceptWiseAsiaCWATV I definitely feel the video could have been more clear to divide e-cigarette liquid from thc oil. It should be noted, though, that flavored e-cigarette liquid contains significantly more that 4 ingredients, as "flavoring" could consist of hundreds of different chemicals. Also propylene glycol is not used in asthma treatments. BUT, it has been tested as safe for inhalation by the EPA, due to widespread use in air fresheners, cleaning products, fog machines, etc. It's important for those of us who are pro-vaping to not exaggerate or propagate myths, the hard science is strong enough.
Same here man. Just make sure you let your mom know you’re proud of her for quitting smoking. My mom quit smoking through vaping and has dropped the percentage of nicotine in her vape down to 0%. Hell she barely even uses her vape nowadays. I’m proud of her. If only I was that strong lol.
I've been vaping for about 6 years. The last 4 have been on a flavourless homemade mix (vg, pg, nic). It was weird for like a week before I got used to and now I enjoy the subtle sweetness of the vg/pg and the nic's flavor. It's also incredibly cheap. I spend less than $200 on vaping a year, including all accessories.
@@Ijusthopeitsquick It's got everything to do with it lol. It is a vice, just like smoking or drinking. He's likely hooked on vaping now and has to quit that too. And how's he going to do that? Take up something else? Like I said, you're essentially trading in one bad habit for another.
@@KingPointy Trading a harmful habit for a much less harmful one is a great gain which should be applauded, not denounced. You seem to think of all potentially harmful habits as "vices", presumably because you think of yourself as "virtuous". A virtue is an admirable and beneficial aspect of character, and simply being a nicotine non-addict doesn't meet that definition.
I used to smoke. Then I vaped awhile. Now I'm free of both and am saving a small fortune. In fact I'm saving a BIG fortune - loadsamoney, yeehaa! I never enjoyed either smokes or vapes, I was just hooked on nicotine! And I beat it!
I'm getting there. Switched to vape about 4 months ago. I can tell it'll be much easier to quit the vape. If I forget it for the day or something... No big deal. With cigarettes, if I had to go all day without it was a bad day. Also I find I'm craving it less and less.
I smoked for over 20 years, then I tried vaping and now I'm completely off cigarettes. Soon I hope to quit vaping too. It's way better than smoking tho.
Gradually reduce the nicotine content of the juice you buy over time. It will likely reduce your dependency on the substance and withdrawals wouldnt be such a burden.
@@justinpaolo Not quite true, most seem to use nicotine salts which give more available free nicotine than traditional nicotine products thus the addiction to nicotine is actually stronger...ask me how i know this! i would say i am more addicted to nicotine now than i ever was as a smoker.
Vitamin E acetate was only found in cannabis cartridges, mostly black market ones too. It was used as a thinning and cutting agent. E-liquids used in e-cigarettes have always been a combination of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavoring. It's kind of misleading to bundle them together in a segment where the layman has a hard time differentiating. This video also didn't contain any real information on what vaping does to the body. Should have just been called "What Vaping Vitamin E Acetate Does to the Body".
Gotta say I’m tired of this propaganda about vapes. Usually they mean nicotine vapes. Usually they conflate thc vapes with nicotine vapes to create the illusion that it’s nicotine vapes doing this, when in reality it’s thc vapes, and as some comments mention, black market thc vapes. Really makes me wonder, why the push against vapes?
@@voloco_freestyle2543 It can't be any worse than smoking. I doubt breathing in anything is good for you, but supposedly all the other shit in cigarettes and the tar was what was really bad. Vapes don't do that. It's just nicotine and then the shit they use to mix it which hasn't ever been known to cause cancer.
Been smoking since I was 15. At 28 after vaping n smoking together, I decided to quit smoking n just vape. Now 32 I can breath so much better. And I'm proud I quit smoking. Something I thought I would never do because its hard.
Same here. Started smoking at 13, and quit smoking cigarettes about 3 months ago to try vaping instead. I'm 45 now, and am not nearly as winded by menial tasks as I used to be, and am decreasing my nicotine levels in the juice ever other week. It's a process, but I want to kick all of this crap out of my life for good. Glad you got a much earlier start than I did; I hope it goes well for you.
@@afiqjaffarran thanks bro, right back at ya. Also, I bought some of the least popular flavored stuff for my grand finale - hopefully it tastes like shyte! That one is scheduled for the second week of October. Maybe sooner because I'll be slowly mixing it with the current stuff a couple drops at a time.
I was only a light to moderate smoker for about close to 30 years until I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I quit smoking and took up vaping. I mix my own liquid from propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin very lightly flavoured with diacetyl free food grade flavours and some nicotine I got before it was illegal (I'm in Australia). I had chemo and was on immunotherapy for about 5 years (stopped in April this year) and my scans have been clear since after I started immunotheray. I can walk 9km with no problems, my oxygen sats sit between 100 - 97% and I don't cough. I probably should quit vaping and probably will if my device stops working or I run out of ingredients as I can no longer legally buy them, but I enjoy vaping and can honestly say I don't notice any I'll effects from doing it. I thought this vid would be the usual scare tactics but was pleasantly surprised by your balanced and factual information, Thank you for doing your research and put this video out.😊
The way you actually organized and explained all of this without losing me not even once throughout the whole video, THAT is highly appreciated. Thanks for the Info!
These USA "professionals" like this shill is funded by the billions big tobacco and big pharma are spending to destroy a competing industry, it forced the UK NHS to do letter and TV campaigns to try to debunk the lies and half truths from Americans . Watch "vaping demystified" it's more truthful.
He is misleading. No long term effect studies when vaping is around at least for 2 decades now… but why? Also shouldn’t even had to bring up the thc cartidges… it’s not vaping and you won’t find vit e acetate in regular juices becasue the manufacturers doesn’t need it. I smoke vape for more then a decade now and for 6 years i only smoke base liq. 6 mg of nicotine. I used to smoke cigs for 12 years. You shouldn’t even start to compare cigs and vaping in terms of harm to your health.
@@connorjohn5013 Right you have a good point, even thou, from his point of view, it is true that only pure Air should be into our lungs, and Cigarettes are VERY freaking bad, but it is also true that I haven't had any issues at all using my Vape... So I think its safe to assume that you both are correct!
The problem is youre labeling vaping (marijuana) and vaping (eliquid) into the same bracket. While they are both called the same thing they are very very different. The vitamin E and THC are not things found in eliquid, and has never been found in it. Mislabeled video, misleading. Very knowledgeable but misleading title.
Vitamin e acetate has been used in primarily black market cartes as a thickener, its actually the cause of the lung disease that occurred about 2 years back, if I remember correctly its been outlawed for use like diacital (the ingredient that cause popcorn lung)
I love how unbiased and well made this video is. However, it is important to note that thc juices aren't the same thing as regular vape juices since these are focused on nicotine ingestion rather than getting high with thc. Apart from that this is a great analysis!
Also he said that the cdc recommends ppl stay away from thc products bc of lung issues. Think he meant to say to stay away from SMOKING (or vaping) thc. Eating eadibles cant have that effect
Such a well scripted and organized video. Really appreciate that you took time to define the complex words and then simplify them for people like myself, who may not have a lot of knowledge about anatomy or medical terms. Thank you!
The problem is that EVALI only resulted from use of illicit THC cartridges. Nicotine products, which most associate with vaping, have never used Vitamin E Acetate. Legitimate THC cartridge manufacturers would never use Vit E Acetate, either. Minus the anatomy lesson, this video can be summed up with: “With the exception of illegal THC vape liquids, we don’t know if vaping is harmful.” Now nothing but air should be going into someone’s lungs, but he didn’t really explain anything of value.
It's crazy how fast I put the smokes down after vaping, 15 years of smoking, around 35 to 40 grams of tobacco a week or close to 20 tailor mades a day, to only 1 or 2 cigarettes a week and vaping every now and then. I feel so much healthier and hope to get off both altogether this year. I hope other smokers find their path and quit smoking.
You are just getting the same amount of nicotine, but getting it through mostly vaping instead cigarettes. Your addiction is just continuing. Just the delivery method is different. I had to have a stent put into a heart artery in 2012. They gave me a list of things to NOT do to decrease the chance of artery blockage in the future. Then the Nurse told me "Of all the things I gave you NOT TO DO, if you are only going to not do ONE thing, don't smoke." So of all the possible things that can cause artery blockage, SMOKING was the most detrimental. Now, I have NEVER smoked. I have a bad enough genetic history of heart problems to do anything that would increase the chance of heart problems. To me, smoking is like stabbing yourself with a knife. Sure, one or two jabs may not do much, but when you accumulate them, and in different areas, and it's an ongoing process, sooner or later you are going to die.
@@1001Hobbies yes, but nicotine is not the issue here. Tar from tobacco smoke kills, and vaping weens people off of that. If done right, you can buy vape juice with decreasing amounts of nicotine until 0 and then quit
@@mattthebeast9666 - Agreed. I also believe many people start vaping, after smoking, with the intention to decrease the nicotine content but never do, and they fool themselves by saying vaping is still better than smoking. Meanwhile their addiction to nicotine continues, which causes high blood pressure, constricting of arteries, and more. Nicotine is not just addictive. It has biological consequences.
my dad use to smoke like 2-3 packs a day. He vapes now n only smokes a few cigz a day if that n usually when he's super stressed. It's a good alternative for people who smoke. I got into smoking sadly then vapes came out n i swapped over. I vape alot tho but its way better than the cig alternative N I only buy a few brands of juice cuz some are to harsh n fuck up my throat
I smoked from 16 to 50, vaped from 50 to 58. My GI tract started doing weird things. At first, I didn't associate the nausea with vaping. I thought I had some serious problem that was going to kill me. Had all the tests. They couldn't find anything. One doc says I need to have my gall bladder out. Another says I had diverticulitis. Colonoscopy and other imaging proved them wrong. Finally, I read that the polypropylene glycol can cause nausea and other GI related problems. It can also cause kidney failure. I quit the very next day (which was yesterday). It's hard, but the nausea is harder. I immediately started feeling better
"this tube stays closed because you are not eating 24 hours a day, hopefully " When tararre died it was possible to watch the bottom of his stomach through his open mouth
I appreciate your unbiased approach. As someone who traded cigarettes for vaping, I'd say it's not merely the lesser of two evils, but at the bare minimum an order of magnitude safer (assuming quality gear and liquid). My lung function improved so much after a few weeks. I've vaped for seven years now and have never had a bout of bronchitis whereas it was common to have an episode each year as a smoker. I started at 12mg/ml nicotine potency and am now at 2mg/ml.
Same, I stopped smoking in 2020 in response to covid risk and wanting to give my lungs a better chance if I did catch it. Had tried to give up before with patches etc and failed every time! Started vaping with rebuildable tank, mod and good quality liquid @15 mg.. now down to 3mg and my chest is way better than it’s been for years, I’ve saved money and also don’t smell bad or have spots anymore.. I don’t condone starting vaping if your a non smoker, but if you’ve smoked for decades and want to quit I recommend it.
Wow good to both of you for succesfully reduce your nicotine level. Here i am still stuck on 6mg freebase or 40mg salt,of course on different device and power level. Try to reduce the level many time but that just end up consuming more liquid,and it cost more money 😳 government adding tax too 😂
I’m a former smoker and have been vaping for 10 years, I am now on the lowest nicotine possible and can tell you that I can breathe much better vaping than I ever did smoking. I want to thank you for this information science based video with real information. It has helped me re-evaluate what I’m bringing into my body and will be extra careful to make sure there’s no vitamin e acetate in any of my juices and consider actually stopping altogether.
@@anna_maria_georgiou_garner.81 congratulations on your journey! I’m pretty young and started smoking weed heavily and became dependent on it to go about my days. Was never sober. I recently started vaping 0 nic and stopped smoking cold turkey. I still get to have that feeling of smoking but no more coughing up all that phlem and shit, vaping is so much easier on the lungs
@@GroovySquiddo lmao idk how you do it bro aint no way i'd get the same satisfaction as weed. 0 nic juices got boring to me after 2 hours of cool vape tricks. Theres no high involved so whats the point really.
I have been vaping since 2015 after smoking for 20+ years. I read the research and ended up adding diacetyl back into my liquid since the "popcorn lung" issue isn't really a issue.
I have smoked, diped for 5'sh years then switched to vaping when it came out. After a few weeks I was able to breath better and run without dying like usual. I had the equipment at the time to check a few of the gasses like CO, H2S, O2, volatile and non-vol compounds, lower explosive limit and a few others. Needless to say in one hit 500ppm CO, 4.1ppm H2S, there were vol&non-vol compounds, it had a lower explosive limit present and the O2 Droped 3% from the mouth to the reader without inhale. That was one puff of a cigarette... I checked my Vape. There were no readings besides O2 dropping 4% after inhale vs 6-8% from a cigarette after inhale. My testing was short lived and not without flaw. All in all vaping may not be healthy but it is DEFINITELY a healthier alternative.
@Harald A-Larsen This video is designed to confuse the issue and does not address the unhealthy nature of vaping flavored nicotine, you didn't pay attention or didn't realize that the only harm he mentioned was related to EVALI from vaping weed (black market cannabis carts).
Strength has nothing to do with addiction. No ones WANTS to vape or smoke, they just want to feel clarity or just enjoy themselves. When I have a really good day and I havent had to deal with peoples bs and lifes weight, yeah I can lean on that psychology, its true. You can say "I feel good, why change that?" Call it an excuse or weak minded mentality, but thats just life. Addiction exists yes, but not everyone can make that choice. Its not a question of why do it, its a question of what else can you do.
Ahh not really, back in the day smoking was advertised as "doctor recommended" and shit like that to get people smoking xD at least vaping was "well it’s not AS bad as smoking but we really don’t know yet tbh, don’t do it, but do it" 😂
I love your program. I excelled in Anatomy in college. I have used it in my massage practice for 43 years and as a fitness instructor before that. I really appreciate the episodes that are wake up calls like the one on Alcohol and this one on vaping. I would never vape but I have smoked weed since I was 15. No paper and a clean glass pipe in micro doses, but still it’s a wake up call. Thank you for your straightforward knowledge of the human body
Ex heavy smoker here: 15 years of 2-3 packs per day. Switching to vaping 5 years ago was strange at first, but rewarding. I started doing sports, swim, play the flute. It was also way cheaper than normal cigs, cleaner. All seemed fine. About a year ago I reduced the nicotine to a trickle, then nothing. 2 weeks of really heavy placebo vaping later (and a LOT of coughing), I stopped completely. So here's my few cents about vaping: 1. About as easy to quit vaping than as it was to switch from cigs to vaping in the first place. So if you can transition, you're half way there... 2. Unbelievable health benefits after switching to vaping. However in the last year I did get almost constant coughs, which prompted me to start quitting it. 3. The lower the nicotine, the less numb the body is, the more you start coughing. I used the mildest aromas, the best atomizers, still coughed after almost each vape. 4. If you start vaping without ever having smoked, you're a moron. 5. If you put stupid stuff into your vaping liquid, you're a moron. 6. After you quit, all other vapers will look like morons to you. At least they don't stink of tobacco cinders. 7. I don't miss vaping. But I miss cigs, as bad as they were. But not this new fluff, the good old ones, the cheap stuff they used to kill us with 20 years ago. Remember that wide Dunhill red pack? The sound the lighter made, that scratch on your fingertip? That first smoke in the cold morning. I would've died for that... Almost did. So, in my case, vaping help me do the impossible: quit smoking. "Help" is a weak word for that it did. Do I recommend it to other smokers? Duh, of course, it's cheaper, cleaner, tastier, but aim for complete stop later down the road. It's gonna be way easier than you think, once you get all those old reflexes out of the way.
I agree with you as well, these videos are not focused on old cig smokers, they are pointing to new young smokers who start vaping even without smoking a cig in their life, to prevent them from smoking other things, but vaping made me quit smoking cigs and that's true, I feel way better than before and I don't really miss smoking cigs anymore the only thing that I really miss sometimes is the combination of coffee and cigs but it's something that I can just get over it, life has more things to Enjoy.
I am glad you found your solution to kick the habit. I still have the same issues you mention in point 7. I have been smoke free for almost 7 years (I smoked 2 packs a day for over 30 years)
I'll just stick to inhaling air. 6 years of vaping daily was definitely affecting my lungs negatively, towards the end of my habit I was getting piercing pains in my lungs and shortness of breath anytime I got my heart rate up. Been 1 year and 2 months since I quit and my lungs feel phenomenal, I forgot what healthy lungs felt like.
Wow that sucks. Glad you were able to quit completely. I stopped smoking via vaping and my respiratory system only had significantly positive improvements. I'm thankful cause I don't have any desire to not utilize nicotine, I just vape as it's much less harmful than smoking and I know exactly what's in the liquid.
The thing I noticed when I gave up smoking was the stench of it on other people. It was saturated in their clothes and hair and I suddenly realised that I would have smelled that bad too for decades 😮
I have adhd and I can sometimes struggle to pay attention, but this video articulated and laid everything out to where it flowed so well. Thank you! I've been learning so much from them!
This guy is going places. Strong presentation! I've been smoking since 1983. I started vaping two months ago and don't miss cigarettes at all. But I have been vaping too much, since I can do it just about anytime, anywhere. I have to learn that part, and eventually quit vaping altogether, hopefully. For now, it really helps a lot.
I vape for 12 years now, i do my lungs and blood check ups, my wife the same, lots of my friends and etc, and the fact here, is since we are clean, no trace that we smoked in the pass, and we all got sick much less. This video have no point, i dont understand
@@jclrebelothe point is to keep people from freaking out about vaping, learn about the ingredients, and that they still don’t have enough long term data on the effects of vaping yet
@@jclrebelo I think so, if you make your own eliquid (buy your own trusted pg and vg, aroma and mix them yourself) you know what is inside. Only vegetable gliserine and pg plus nicotine and aroma, no vitamin e or THC so nothing crazy. My brother and i have been vaping for over 5-6 years like this. Maybe still not perfectly healthy because of nicotine but still, if you exercise moderately you'll be fine.
If people would just remember that smoking / inhaling any foreign substance (deliberately) is a form of "air pollution" compromising their lungs (respiratory system at a minimum), they might reconsider their choice. People living in areas of active volcanoes, wildfires, elevated smog know what it's like to deal with airborn particulate matter, esp. people living with allergies and asthma.
I had quit smoking for years because I switched over to vaping, and had even quit vaping for a year and a half. Recently picked smoking back up during a camping trip, and I feel AWFUL. My chest hurts, I cough all the time, my guts hurt, and I just feel generally disgusting. Not my proudest moment, but I'm glad to have a less harmful option while I work down to quitting again.
Nothing to be ashamed of. It's not uncommon whatsoever for quitting to take multiple attempts. What matters is that you are making an effort and recognize the harm of the habit. Best of luck!
just stop. vaping isnt going to help you quit. youre still addicted to the nicotine. if you can ween yourself off using a vape you can do the same thing with cigarettes. that is how powerful nicotine addiction is. people think they can do it one way but not the other. you can. its just your mind telling you. just stop. its really that simple. it should be doubly simple for you. you feel awful. why do you keep smoking?
Very informative video that doesn’t debunk vaping as a whole, rather, telling people that vaping is still viable just to be careful with certain ingredients. Well done! Love your videos.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Yes, that's right. I researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful, it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression. I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase one?
Its misunderstood that THC vapes do indeed contain vitamin e acetate, though the reason being is people making their own and selling it, using vitamin e as what we would call "a cut". Its to reduce the amount of THC needed to fill up the vape, therefore you have a little THC but majority vitamin e acetate. Dont buy from the streets
That doesn't even make sense. I've made my own vape juice for years, the base liquids are pg and vg, they're extremely cheap. If you were to "cut" an eliquid, you'd just use more pg and/or vg.
@@munapulido9054 or just smoke the plant how it is. god, humans are so incessant in their need to over process everything on this planet. humans cant leave anything as nature provided. and then after processing we find that when humans touch something in nature they wind up making something that started out good for you bad.
@@jamieswain4888 Dab pens (carts) and "vapes" are two different things. Yes "vape" juice usually only contains VG, PG, sometimes added flavor and sometimes nicotine. Dab pen (carts) are really different. A lot people do not understand the difference. Most cases of "vaping" related illness were from the illicit carts sold on the street that were "cut" with Vitamin E acetate
POV: You got caught with a vape in the high school bathroom and get "In school suspension" and to get a day off you had to do 2 packets regarding to this video.
Loved the video! As someone who vapes, seeing someone not totally demonize it and still talk about things that make you re-evaluate is amazing! I’m subbing for sure!
@@theanatomylab but this praise is absurd... your video is about EVALI, your title purports to be about vaping, and your presentation blatantly ignores the part where this is specific to a batch of black market thc products - specifically the presence of both vitamin e acetate and thc - how many of those cases presented with nicotine also in their system? how many presented with no vitamin e acetate? you should definitely go tilt at a different windmill, what did thc ever do to you?
@@theanatomylab the worst type of people are the one's who passively try to push their agenda forward. You know fine well those deaths were black market THC containing vitamin e and your video makes it seem like this is the situation with regular VG/PG vaping. Honestly please reply I'd love to know what you say or is it true that RUclipsrs just don't respond to criticism.
Smoked since I was 16, I switched to vaping 9 years ago, after 20 years of cigarettes. My lungs feel way better and I still have no problems. I finally started vaping without nicotine a week ago. I plan to quit vaping before the end of March.
I've been vaping 3mg for 2 years. Switched to 20mg for the last year or so and still on it. Today I bought a 20mg and 0mg just to sort of go back and forth to cut down on the nic. However, the 0mg just doesn't cut it...there's literally zero throat hit which sucks.
@@roughryder5 You have to buy a caliburn or something and put your own liquid in it, use a bit higher PG and you got the throat hit you are looking for!
bro, i really like your videos, but this one in particular is a bit misleading. If i may add some insight - CDC stats show the EVALI epidemic you refer to was most likely caused by black market THC cartridges containing vitamin E acetate, as you said. From what I understand, clear links between EVALI and regular nic vapes are not yet established. at the time of the EVALI epidemic, the cannabis distillate used in many black market carts was found to be cut with vit E acetate, presumably to reduce production costs (mostly unscrupulous street dealers). the shady company who pioneered this novel use of vit E acetate as a cutting agent was known as honey cut, and following investigation by the CDC have since gone out of business. They found vit E acetate to be superior to other cutting agents such as MCT oil as its colour and viscosity is very similar to pure distillate. Hence, consumers would have a hard time telling if their carts were cut. importantly, legal THC carts from certified manufacturers should NOT contain vit E acetate. legit carts should only contain pure distillate/live rosin. however, despite honeycut going out of business, i'm aware dodgy street carts are still circulating in some areas. as such, please dont smoke any cart that doesn't come straight out of a dispensary. whilst EVALI isn't as common now that vit E acetate is banned and more people are aware, cases continue to exist. the THC in distillate carts is simply a concentrated but chemically identical version of what's found in flower (only talking about THC, not terpenes), and people have been smoking weed for centuries. Whilst im not saying smoking weed is harmless, I think it's misleading to discuss avoiding THC and vit E acetate similarly. anyway, hope anyone reading will b a little safer should they choose to vape.
As a current vaper, I’m glad I live in the UK where ingredients are heavily regulated. I’ve been vaping for years and not yet noticed a decline in my lung performance. I do plan to quit by the end of this year though. Thanks for the video!
@@vin5852 I never plan to quit love vaping cope and seethe, vanilla ass bitch. Been 4 years I'll let you know when I get hit by the vaping plague that's so bad it killed 68 people most of which were from weed cartridges filled with nasty chemicals that were illegal btw not made by a company.

Smoked for a long long time. Tried vaping, I could breathe again and I stopped with the coughing. Now I don't do either. I'm happy, whatever worked worked.
Congrats!
Yes me too! I can breathe again and don't get chest pains anymore. I'm still vaping but quitting soon. My fiance quit cigarettes the same way and just quit vaping about a month ago. It really has been a lifesaver.
Congrats!!!!
Same here man! Been 4 years since I switched to vaping and 2 years since I quit completely!
I am semi athletic and after switching to vaping I felt my lung power come back.
Now I'm clean and healthy!
@@icecoldchilipreppers keep going I've been clean for 9 years. They even did a lung screening on me and I'm lucky not to have anything.
Tried everything to quit smoking. It was literally slowly killing me. Vape shops came along. With vaping I was able to quit smoking. Kept lowering my nicotine levels for 2 years. Then quit the vape. It worked for me!
👏
The issue is that vaping is just replacing cigarettes...yes it is better but it still is bad. If used to quit smoking then it is good but if it just replaces smoking it is bad.
@@cpenner7086 still far far less worse than cigarettes
This!!!! Also same with me.
@@cpenner7086 I feel like you missed the whole second part of their comment. It's not just about replacing it, but replacing it for something you can use to slowly lower your intake of nicotine and make it easier to quit overall.

How tho

Bro, bagi pp lu
I spent so many years of my life under the spell of cigarettes, depression and severe ptsd. Gained my freedom with the help of nature using mushroom (psilocybin) precisely. After my experience with shrooms five years ago every cigarette I lit up tasted like literal poison. I would take one hit and put out the cigarette. I haven't smoked since, no more depressive mood and ptsd. Few doses of shroom experience made a 15 year 2 pack a day smoker quit instantly. Shrooms are life changing. There is no way you can put into words what it feels like..
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Yes sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Shrooms can really help break the spell. Whatever spell you may be under.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google
I smoked for 20yrs, switched to vape as a quit method, reduced the nicotine slowly over a few months untill I was vaping with no nicotine.
Now I'm here 3yrs later and I might pick up my vape once every couple of months. It is a great way to quit.
Thats how I quit too. It makes quitting much easier.
Oh so you're 40 years old with that profile picture...
I don’t believe it’s a healthy alternative
@@micaelacarinogarcia6851 could be in 30s
@@dopesick7710 I dunno. I smoked for 22 years. Trird to quit several times, several different methods. Vaping helped me stopped smoking. I no longer get bronchitis 2-3x year. I can breathe, walk stairs, jog, so many things I just couldn't do while smoking cigarettes. IME, vaping is *definitely* a healthier alternative, and now I'm working on stopping vaping
Smoked for 22yrs then tried vaping as I've tried everything else. I've been cigarette free for 6.5yrs , the past two years I've been vaping 0% nicotine. I feel healthier than ever and at 45yrs old I'm very active now with martial arts, bmx and just staying in shape. Vaping saved my life and I plan on putting it down in about six months. As I don't need it anymore, it's done it's job.
I'm 25 and I smoke quite a bit. I used to vape and I would save money, but now there's no vape juices in my area, I continue to smoke. Fucking government, taking something that is essential for quitting away. For me, I probably can't kick the nicotine habit, but to quit smoking cigs, I'd feel like it would be better. Not all the way better, but better.

I found out what was wrong after consulting with a couple of doctors. I educated myself about insulin resistance and intermittent fasting. I've lost 23 pounds and my energy levels have skyrocketed. No more smoking, EVER! My meals include only organic whole foods and absolutely NO grains or seed oils. Grass fed dairy snd beef occasionally and pasture run eggs and poultry. All of this because I decided to walk the talk and puty health as my number One priority. Thank you for this info on vaping. It's like people who take ozempic instead of fixing what they eat.

@@tripswithtom How? And are you talking about vaping in general or the iilegal thc cartridges that had high levels of vitamin e acetate in them? Genuinely curious btw.
I quit smoking after 34 years as a moderate to heavy smoker. I used a vape as my vehicle of choice and I simply cut down monthly 1mg of nicotine at a time. I started at 10 mg and within about 10 months was at 0 mg. Another 2 or 3 months and I was off the vaping too. I'm convinced that short term vaping saved my life, and I've now become fairly athletic and full of energy.
Update 2 years later: This December will mark the 6 year anniversary from quitting. I've never had the desire to smoke again. Good luck to all who try to quit using this approach, or any other method for that matter.
Well done man. I'm at the very beginning of quiting after 15 years of mostly smoking. Vaped on and off for a while quitting before and it's always led back to cigarettes.

I smoked for more than 40 years and the ONLY thing that allowed me to stop was vaping. From the very first day I used an unflavored vape to get my nicotine fix I stopped smoking tobacco. I was amazed that the constant urge to light a cigarette had completely disappeared. In a matter of a few weeks there was tremendous improvement in my breathing and my ability to walk without getting out of breath. I was still getting nicotine but no longer getting all the tar and CO that comes with burning tobacco. I would never endorse vaping for anything except as a step toward getting off of tobacco. There is no comparison between the damage done by burning tobacco and the damage cause by vaping. It truly is "the lesser of two evils".

My dad was an avid smoker for most of his life. He was always coughing, that loud disgusting rough and phlegmy cough that really scared my family and I. We forced him to switch to vaping as a better alternative, he was against it at first but he soon completely switched to vaping and never touched a cigarette again. He doesn’t cough anymore and he even says that his chest feels so much better and that he can breath properly. Vaping may not be a good habit but it can certainly help people with extreme cigarette addictions.

Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love.

YES very sure of Dr.raymycology. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, BPD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures.

I’m 40 years old and had been smoking cigarettes since I was 18, I’ve tried a lot of different ways to stop smoking cigarettes, nothing worked, well about little over 2 years ago I went into a vape shop and got a mod after hearing ppl have found success in quitting cigarettes and switching to Vaping, I really didn’t think it would wk, I was very skeptical and I was thinking I’m about to just waste 150 bucks. well I’m here to say it did indeed work that day I got my mod little over 2 years ago I haven’t had a cigarette since. I started off using 6mg of nicotine in my juice then after about 1 year I took it to 3mg of nicotine in my juice, and then just this year I have switched to zero nicotine in my juice, and I’m to that point I don’t need to vape anymore. Being around cigarettes does not bother me either anymore or have any craving to even want to smoke again, I can tell you I can’t stand the smell anymore of a cigarette and I can’t believe I would smell like that after a cigarette it’s quite disgusting. Just wanted to tell my story, and say vaping got me off cigarettes. I feel so so much better and feel so much more healthier. And I’m saving a shit ton of money not smoking…
@Joey pooschke well Joey you have nearly 100 likes but I would like to be the first to congratulate you in person Well done never go back. I first started smoking when I was 16 nearly 64 years ago. I don't think in those days that tobacco had the same addictive chemicals added to it as modern tobacco may have. I progressed from cigarettes to the occasional King Edward cigar, but my favourite was Balkan Sobrani Smoking Mixture in a Peterson's pipe, I also used the small half sphere plaster pellets in the base of the bowl to help absorb both moisture and nicotine from the tobacco. Although I never smoked more than half an ozs to one ozs a week I often gave up for 3 to 6 months at a time. I eventually gave up completely when I got to the age of 35 when I became more aware of the long term health risks. I must confess that even 15 years later after giving up completely I still had the odd craving for a pipe full of Sobrani it had the most pungent of smells but a divine taste and after half a pipe full you felt like you were on cloud nine.
I find cigarette smell the most repulsive and cannot stand it at any price.
Good luck with your intention to give up and Stay Safe.
that's amazing. By the way, I don't know, why the hell nicotine affects the organism differently. In my case, I started smoking in 2020. And 2+ years later, I quitted. I literally can't explain how did I do that so easily. Maybe I'll try to describe in details.
Prologue : smoking helped me lose weight, I lost 27-30 pounds, bcuz cigarettes made me eat less.
I said to myself - what am I doing. I'm literally a man at the top of my physical conditions - I'm young, strong, smart and handsome, and I ruin my health with cigs. I said it to myself, and quitted. It was not an easy task, I reduced smoking in sober mode ( smoked only while drinking beer ). That's it. After a journey to my motherland ( Dagestan, Caucasus ), I literally feel like I don't want to smoke anymore. As I said previously, cigs made me eat less, and now I eat more) I feel like that's the healthy stuff. better eat more , but healthy food, instead of less and some fast-food/snack stuff.
Honestly I like how cigarettes smell but that might just be me
Welcome to the world of Smelling your FOOD again! Really smelling it! CHEERS!

My state banned vaping just as I started using vaping as a way to quit smoking. I smoked for a year longer than I wanted to because I didn't have a car at the time to drive over the state line. Now I vape and completely quit cigarettes! I can breathe and don't get chest pains anymore! I Plan to quit vaping soon too but it's been a God send for quitting cigarettes.
I smoked for about 50 years and quit through vaping. Took three days
That’s stupid that vaping was banned while smoking was still allowed but worse for your health than vapes
@@mayva6842 My governor also banned menthol cigarettes. Bodegas still have them though. They go out of state and buy cartons of them and then turn around and sell them for $12 -$13 dollars a pack! Banning things only drives the product underground. People still buy and sell them.
@@adelaidemarie nice 🙂
@@jennyjen7000 ikr just look at what happened during the prohibition
Love how factual the data is and not just scare tactics. Good approach... great job!
In summary: Vaping is good if you're trying to quit smoking, but sucking anything besides air into your lungs isn't good for you.
So it’s bad because vaping isn’t just air but rather chemicals, even if you smoke juice that doesn’t contain nicotine?
@@Deminogg no not at all there are things much more harmful and much less harmful but its dangerous because vape juice contains so many diffrent chemicals that that cause long term effects like Popcorn lungs
This is an unproven supposition. Quite the opposite actually. No problems with vaping have cropped up despite two to three decades of mass use now. While it is proven that switching from smoking to vaping is readily adopted by all smokers and immediately causes the same healing as quitting. The difference is, quitting is usually a failure while tapering off with vaping has a 100% success rate.
This is most important in populations with serious pulmonary disease. It is often difficult to say, get lung cancer patients to quit smoking as they take on the attitude that they will die anyway. Yet you get the same effect of quitting using vaping instead and usually, the patient, once they try it, prefers it to cigarettes.
One thing to know about twinkletoes here. Although I don't know his motivations personally, I do know that most of the anti-vaping rhetoric is paid for, promoted and provided for by cigarette companies.

Keep up the great work.
I never thought that I would be able to quit smoking. Yes, it was literally killing me. My breathing was out of control. I began vaping and dropped the cigs, cold turkey.....I rarely pick the vape up now.....6 weeks since I gave up smoking the cigarette. That's quite the feat for me. I don't miss the cigs at all...not even a little bit.
Technically that’s not cold turkey. There’s so much nicotine in the vapes.
There is also nicotine on vapes but any step away from putting garbage in your body is a good step
Wait till the clubs open back up again and you will miss the feeling of having a bottle of beer and a pack of cigarette by your side
@@iammrgeekboy lol I'm 49 and no longer club or drink
@@shade247 There is nicotine in vapes but way less than cigs. Most vape liquid today has 3 or 6 mg whereas cigs have ~15 up to 24 mg. It also was not well controlled so you could get a pack with 15 one day and the next pack a few days later could be 18. I don't know for sure but I think it was done intentionally by companies to make it harder to quit. Of course, you can get vape liquid with more nicotine and I actually purchased my liquid from a company that would give me custom amount of nicotine. Started at 15 because that's what I needed to stay off cigs and dropped it down slowly to 3. Best way to quit is to slowly reduce the nicotine.
I smoked for 24 years and got where I couldn't even walk up a flight of steps without running out of breath.. I switched to vaping almost as soon as it came out, roughly 12 years ago. In that 12 years I have never experienced any of those side effects you mentioned but within 6 months of switching from cigarettes to vaping I was able to start working out doing cardio .... that lead to me doing several long distance hikes (more than 300 miles each). Last year, I got diagnosed with cancer ... not from smoking but from HPV. Because I am so physically fit, I was given an 85% recovery rate over 12 months .... its now been 19 months. I still work out doing both cardio and weight lifting and to be honest, vaping gave me my life back. Drs said I was one of the healthiest 50 year olds they have ever seen .... no high blood pressure, no cholesterol, etc ... just had cancer and I kicked its a%^ too. I think one of the biggest things about vaping safely is buying from reputable brands and reputable dealers. I'm not into that thc and all the other crap ... oh yea, did I mention I actually vape 0mg nicotine ... why? Well, the motion of smoking is actually harder to quit than the nicotine.
Thanks for the insight
Keep doing all that good stuff and all the best to you Sir 👍
Oh yeah same with me. I quit smoking cigarettes back in 2012 and switched to vaping immediately. I haven't touched a cigarette since.
Hope you get the cancer totally cleared!
@@daphne4983 thank you
As a healthcare professional and instructor I believe this channel does the public a great service. So many of us know so little about our bodies that it really is shameful.
Thank you for your continued work.
I totally agree Wayne, this channel is so informative and balanced.
I agree! People need to know more about their bodies. As an ER nurse for 30 yrs, it’s amazing how much of my job is education.
I agree This is a Great channel but this Video was Really misleading with some misinformation Like those Harmful ingredients found such as Vitamine E Acetate which was The Cause of this Problem was found NOT in Regular Nicotine Vaping But in ILLEGAL!!! THC BLACK MARKET!!! Cartridges Sold by DRUG DEALERS!!! Because Vitamine E Acetate is NOT!!! in Regular LEGAL Nicotine Vaping Products I smoked 13 years Could Never quit tried it all I Stopped Smoking with Vaping as my Tool and am Now Smoke and Vape FREE Vaping Saved My LIFE!!!
That's why we need Medicare For All because nobody can teach someone about their body better than their preferred medical professional
@@chrismiksworld Just saying, vitamin E acetate was also found in THC cartridges that were being legally sold in dispensaries. So it wasn't just black market stuff sold by drug dealers. While Vitamin E acetate was really a problem only THC cartridges had, that doesn't mean normal/nicotine vaping is safe. Do you know what bronchiolitis obliterans is? It is a disease that can be caused by inhaling the chemical diacetyl, it's more commonly known as popcorn lung. You can find this diacetyl in some vape juices, even ones that say they do not contain any.

I smoked for 18 years. I vaped for three weeks to quit smoking. I am now smoke-free nine years. Best decision I’ve ever made. Lungs are healthy. Good to go.
Nice to hear ❤
Nice! Well done!

Same lmaoooo
Vaping is 100% responsible for giving me exactly what I needed to QUIT smoking!
Once I made the switch from cigarettes to vapes, I gradually titrated my nicotine levels down to - eventually - zero. I have officially been completely free of both for 2 years and counting!
Thank you for this fabulous channel!
Bravo
Me too! My story is very similar to yours! And I was one of those people who really didn't want to quit. I switched to vapong and it made cigarettes smell so gross I was completely turned off by them. Slowly weaned of of vaping and now I am completely done with it all!
Hi Shawna! I'm right there with you. I didn't want to quit either. In fact, I LOVED smoking. Then my best friend introduced me to vaping, and - lo and behold - it worked! You're absolutely right. Only once you've distanced yourself from the cigarettes and regained your sense of smell will you realize how HORRIBLE they smell!
Congrats on quitting! 🤜🤛
I did exact same thing. Then vaped for about ten years. Finally started getting shortness of breath from vaping and gave it up 10 months ago. Very much into resistance training, so I’m glad this is all behind me now. But as you said, vaping helped me get there.
@@rakeenan3 Congrats to you too!
I packed up smoking cigarettes in 2011 after a heart attack.
I started vaping as a tool to quit,13 years later i am still vaping with no issues at all .
But i use the original E cig (That looks like a cigarette 🚬) The liquid goes in the cartomizer (filter end ) and has a gauze type cotton wool inside which means less liquid going into the lungs so less harsh .
My cardiologist/ doctor has checked my lung capacity and condition and is all good .
I don't intend on quitting vaping anytime soon as i still enjoy it
As someone who managed to quit smoking cigarettes but was never interested in vaping I have to say that the hardest part about quitting isn't the nicotine (I tried all kinds of nicotine products to help me quit for years), the hardest part is just the act of smoking, just the habit in itself is the best part about smoking and the biggest reason why it was so hard for me to quit so I can definitely see why vaping as an alternative to cigarettes can be an easier way out.
I noticed when I started meditation how similar it is to smoking. Inhale, hold it a bit, and a deep warm exhale! It's so relaxing
Yes. It is both an addiction and a habit.
That’s so true
I think you made the case for the opposite: the act of vaping is much more convenient to do all day, indoors, outdoors, and easy to hide than smoking a cigarette. It can be easier to form a strong vaping habit. And if it's that habitual act that's the appeal, wouldn't that make vaping even harder to kick?
Yeah I'm finding it hard to quit not because the nicotine but because i just enjoy the act of smoking I don't even get a buzz when I smoke unless I go a good couple of hours or in the morning when I have my first smoke
Long story short: Vape is good for those trying to quit smoking
Current Issue: teens who never smoked before start vaping and get addicted to nicotine
💯
Nicotine is the culprit due to its addictive nature but even the ancient Egyptians consumed nicotine. Throughout the ages people have loved their vices like caffeine nicotine and opium. Nothings gonna stop people this. So if vaping is a relatively safe way to consume nicotine without the risks of cigarette smoking then by all means let them do it!
@@kyber7503 or how about we don’t let an entire generation of kids get addicted to nicotine via vaping because it’s marketed as “cool”
There are many alternatives to smoking cigarettes, just as is mentioned in the video - so the better option is to try something else than vaping. But yeah if you had only those two options, overall smoking is even worse.
@@kyber7503 The thing is, it's not safe. Go ahead let people get addicted to opiums then
Vaping has been a godsend for quitting cigarrettes this past few months. I'm down to zero nicotine in my liquid and plan to quit vaping as well shortly.
I used it to quit smoking too, and also continue to reduce the nicotine level. Hope to quit vaping, too, eventually. But, after smoking cigarettes for 40 years, and using the vape for about six months, I'll take my small victories where I can get them.
@@omarra6781 It takes time, but eventually you'll get there. Keep it up! Making the switch from burning plant matter is half the effort.
Me 3!!!!!!! Thank God for vapes... The only thing that helped me quit ciggies. 👏🏼
Congrats to all of us for quitting cigarettes! :-)
Me too! I quit smoking after 45 years. Picked up a vape and some nic gum and am now working to get rid of the vape and the gum. I am finding the vape and gum are WAY easier to give up than the cigs. Here is to being nicotine free shortly!!! Good luck to you!
I stopped smoking to then vape I felt worse off vaping then went to nicotine spray then thought sod it it's time and went cold turkey every time I had a craving I chewed a piece of chewing gum ...cravings lasted 3 days that's it ...wow I feel so stupid for all that money and lung health wasted but I haven't smoked in years so I'm very pleased....just if I could turn back time I'd be richer for sure ...great video it's so fascinating the human body ...
As a confirmed vaper of many years who smoked for almost 20 years before that, all I have to say is: don't ever smoke. If you do smoke, please try to switch to vaping. If you vape, try to reduce your nicotine levels. And if you don't smoke or vape, just keep right on doing what you're doing! :)
thankfully high schoolers nowadays if they try cigarettes tend to prefer vapes which is better for lung health but i believe more addictive because of the nicotine content
Agree. But vaping is so much easier to quit
Big Tobacco will ALWAYS try NEW ways of getting people addicted to nicotine. It's as simple as that.

My husband smoked for years :( I was desperate to get him to stop. He moved on to vaping. He has a super addictive personality. And he uses smoking to help him feel better. But for the last few years he has only been vaping. He has a LOT less nicotine, uses his vape far less than the cigarettes (he used to smoke 2 packs a day) and honestly, he doesn't smell disgusting. Oh and it's waaay cheaper. I absolutely wish he wouldn't vape either but I'm so grateful that he's willing to vape instead of smoke. Sooo grateful.
Make him buy Nicotine Gum
@@gabriel55671 Its the habit of smoking that people miss so i don't think gum works but vaping is like smoking.
@@gabriel55671 as a former smoker myself a HUGE part of why gum didnt work for me was because part of the addiction is the action, not just the chemical. Something that doesnt get talked about a lot is that part of why the action of smoking "calms people down" isn't just the chemical, it's also the action of regulating your breathing. Anyway, yeah vaping a very natural progression because it's a very similar in action to smoking cigarettes, as opposed to chewing gum.
Good for you. It is a better alternative. Tell him to try the 0% juice and gradually mix more in more into his nicotine juice. Eventually, that might get him off the nicotine addiction. When the reward centers in his brain stop lighting up from the vape, he'll put it down eventually, might take a few years, but it'll happen once you get the nicotine out of the equation.
@@gabriel55671 The gum doesn't work. Neither does Chantix (weird fucking LSD dreams are a nice plus though), and the lozenges make you puke your guts out.
Recently
came upon your videos. Retired RN. Good stuff great presentation.👏👏❤
No apology needed. I really thought in the beginning that this would be like every other anti-vaping biased video, but when you mentioned vitamin E acetate and THC I realized you had actually done research and I really appreciate you taking a fully scientific approach. I have seen so many "marijuana madness" style vape attack videos and you did not condemn nor approve of vaping you simply stated the facts without personal interest or gain. Thank you.
I think this video was great I besides the fact that the “Vitamin E and THC” madness that was hsppening happened around the time “fakes” or “crap” Carts(thc catridges) were being sold I had a lot of friends end up in the hospital because of this but most didn’t admit that it was a Cart(basically weed) bc in my state weed is illegal so this Lead to a lot of misinformation Vaping and Basically smoking weed are 2 very different things that people seem to get mis informed about. VAPING is in my opinion and most tobacco shops that sell this is the sale of “Eliquids Or vape juice containing nicotine A highly addictive substance” no shop in my state will sell CARTS (Bc they have weed and there is no such thing as THC juice) carts are unique in the sense that they Are PURELY DISTILLED THC OIL meaning it’s basically just weed that is safely regulated at a certain temperature but is A very SEPERATE thing from vaping, Vaping is defined by NICOTINE and not WEED/THC. The approach was correct but the misguided notion that this directly correlates to VAPING is wrong nowhere that you go to buy A VAPE or VAPE PEN or DISPOSABLE VAPE or PUFF BAR will say “MAY CONTAIN NICOTINE A HIGHLY ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE” NONE OF THEM WILL say “contains THC” bc well you can’t just sell THC like that. There was a small issue with shitty CARTS getting around I haven’t heard anything recently but this issue happened 2 years ago now I wanna say most people called it or said they were VAPING to avoid getting a charge NONE OF THIS IS FACTUAL IM GOING BASED OF MY OWN KNOWLEDGE IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING I DONT PLEASE DO FEEL FREE TO ENLIGHTEN ME THIS IS PURELY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AND FROM MY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OF WHAT MY DUMBASS FRIENDS HAVE DONE thank you for reading my TED TALK xD
@@Jonathan1067MCPE actually when yhu buy a disposable or a puff bar it will tell yhu if it contains nicotine in my experience every disposable and puff bar I had either said *(contains nicotine)* or it said *(5% nicotine)* but we may live in to different states so it may be different but this was my experience with vaping and what was said on the vape product
I've seen this video recommended to me so many times and thought it'd just be another "VAPING IS GOING TO KILL YOU" "study" funded by tobacco companies to scare people back to smoking.
Having just watched my first "Institute of Human Anatomy" video today on the rabies virus, I finally knew who these guys were (and not some "institute" created again, by tobacco companies to portray a one sided "study" to demonize vaping) and decided to give it a shot.
Excellently fair video on vaping, to be honest.
I was going to jump a conclusion but the only thing I'll say is it isn't a bias people are suffering cause people duck with the carts making it poisoned and the chemicals in them purely make it factually harmful also they only released these as a way to kick the addiction not smoke long term juul company admitted this and they did no test they just sold the product
As for vaporizing weed with a vaporizer? Real natural cannabis flowers, not artificial liquids.
Been vaping for 7 years , prior to that I was a life long smoker who was up to almost.3 packs a day, my lungs and health were in very bad condition , I switched to vaping and in a short period of time I stopped coughing in the morning , I use to cough for about 35 minutes when I woke up, it was so bad at times I would be close to blacking out, I had no lung capacity before long I was able to walk up stairs and not have probs, after a few years I have full lung capacity back , I can breath, I sleep better , my snoring is almost non existent, food tastes amazing, I can smell a cigarette a mike away, all of these are the same as quitting smoking, the nicotine in a ecig is not as addictive as one through a cigarette and it’s basically like caffeine in a way, I can not vape for hours if I chose to and not physically need it, to as where in a cigarette I could only maybe make it a hour or two and I physically needed one, there is no combustion from vaping, this is where smoking has its huge prob, you are lighting something on fire and inhaling it, it’s like running into a burning house and taking a deep inhale of the smoke, what has happened in the last few years that has gone under the umbrella of vaping is these pods and carts for small vaping devices, now a lot of these are carts that are premade, a lot of young adults band teens were getting black market carts which a dealer would cut the thc with vitamin e acitate which causes all these probs, regular vaping , no thc or vitamin e acitate , just pg/vg, flavoring and nic or no nic eliquid there is no probs, even England has done a study on it deeming it 95% safer than smoking, hospitals have vape shops, but in this country big tobacco rules the media and the FDA all in the name of safety for our children, well let’s think about it and I do not condone vaping for anyone who is not addicted to smoking and espically anyone under the age limit, just don’t do it, what I found funny is that if there was no vaping kids would still all be smoking in high school and nothing would be said against that, no new laws banning smoking which we know what it does, but that’s ok, my thing is if you want to ban vaping then why are cigarettes still available anywhere 2 mins from your house? When listening to media and stuff just follow the money and it becomes clear, vaping saved my life , just a opinion from a former heavy smoker

As someone who vapes, I appreciate this video. I was scared to hear how damaging it is but it has effected me for the worst where I need it when stressed and I can barely exercise because I get out of breath so easily. I've been vaping for a year. I know quitting cold turkey can be unrealistic but I definitely want to cut back and eventually quit.
never quit cold turkey, 90% people fail, slowly ease your body into receiving less nicotine. Ex: cut your nicotine intake by 1/2 every 3 days; remember this is only to avoid withdrawals. The only thing you have to do after that is make sure you stay dedicated
Cold turkey is the best way to quit.

I remember the final investigation results the CDC came out with after that “outbreak”. Most of the THC vaping issues was suspected to have come from non very reputable sources. A lot of these cases were in states where THC use is still illegal. It’s why it’s soooo important to get your stuff from a reputable source. And why although regulation and standards are important here, flat out making it illegal is a bad idea.
I agree. I live in a non-medical/recreational state. I'm also 39 and have been smoking cigarettes for 31 years now. Yes. I started smoking cigarettes at roughly 8 years old. Not good. But, it happened. I have had my L lung collapse twice now. I was diagnosed ay the end of 2018 with emphysema. And shortly after in 2019 with COPD. The inhalers the doctor gave me for use when needed. Did nothing unless I over used them. Like the recommended dose to be 2 puffs as needed. It turned out that 6 plus was the only time it ever worked. My doctor told me to use 6 then. Ummm, what??? That much steroids to the lungs cannot be necessarily a good thing for a nonlicensed person to do for themselves. The reason for this conclusion is at 6 puffs of an inhaler there is so much additional propellants added to the steroids that it would make me light headed, dizzy, and sometimes cause my vision to go black. Therefore it cannot be good for someone who is not in a controlled environment to administer this dosage to themselves. Although this was a conversation I had with my doctor. His response was...
Dr: " Have you found anything that helps with these episodes?"
Me: Yes. Actually I have.
Dr: Okay. What works for you?
Me: Vapeing DAB.
Dr: What is DAB?
Me: It's an extractive honey from Marijuana.
Dr: Okay? How is it done, and how does it help?
Me: I use a water pipe. I heat up a quartz piece to temp then drop the oil onto the quartz piece and hit it causing the vapor to go through the water filtration and into my lungs. It helps because I have all of this mucus that builds up in my lungs. By Dabbing, It causes me to cough. Which causes me to cough up this mucus. And trust me Doc. When I hit it, I make it count. I cough so much mucus up that when I catch my breath after. I can take deep, deep breaths.
Dr: How often do you need to do this?
Me: Honestly. Only once or twice a day.
Dr: Really? Well I can't tell you to continue doing it. But, if it works for you. I'm not going to tell you to stop.
Me: I didn't plan on stopping. Just being honest with you.
After that the doctor told me that he was surprised by my lung functionality test. Which was 89%. He said even normal non smoking lungs are anywhere between 92- 96%. So my lung functionality is actually really high considering. ( Lol. Pun not intended, but funny.) My opinion through my own research leads me to believe that dabbing isn't going to hurt worse than the cigarettes I smoke. And yes I do still smoke cigarettes. I was on medication to help me quit. Then the rona happened. I'm high risk due to lung conditions and the medications to help you quit smoking lowers your immune system and with a pandemic going on. It'll take cigarettes longer to kill me than the stats with the rona. So I made a choice. Plus with research on MMJ. It has been found to slow and even combat cancer cells. So I'm going to keep doing it for my health.

In New Mexico we just went legal for recreational once the government purchased the dispensaries. Needless to say, I don't trust dispensary weed. They're GMOing it.

@@hippiejet4209 Thanks for the info
Really appreciate you taking the time to make this informative video! Been a long time smoker 15+ years. Started having serious trouble breathing and negatively affected my overall health. Vaping comes along and literally saved my life. Found it very easy to transition from cigarettes to vaping, just weened myself off the analogs and went digital. Decreased the nic in my juice down to zero and been off cigarettes for quite some time now (lost track). Breathing has improved significantly and now only vape every now and then. To anybody struggling with this let me say if I can do it, then you can do it. You got this!
It’s just completely insane to me that people couldn’t deduce for themselves that smoking or vaping is bad for you. Like you learn in school that being trapped in a room with fire will kill you because of smoke inhalation, it doesn’t take much thought to think “hmmm is that because smoke in your lungs is bad for you? Bad enough to kill you?” Yet people can’t apply the same thinking to fucking SMOKING. I can’t tell if it’s stupidity or pure ignorance
It saved your life until it ends up killing you. Remember nobody knows the long term effects of vaping. It could end up being worse than cigarettes. I have grandparents who lived into their mid 80s smoking cigarettes for 70 years.
'You got this' buzzword for the weak 😂
By the way, that little chemical list that they made for what's in e-cig liquid... multiply that x 100 for a cigarette.
I vaped for nearly 14 years after being a 2 pack a day smoker. On top of that I inhaled cigars regularly and smoked other stuff.
Switching to e-cigs made my life much much better. However, I have since quit and now enjoy inhaling air.
Moral of the story, don't smoke, don't vape but if you MUST it's better to vape.
This is the fairest video on vaping I have seen. Well done. There is a lot of misinformation out there pushed by people who have not done enough research about vaping. Thanks for being fair and open.
Exactly. My governor banned vaping in my state at the same time I started vaping to quit smoking. I unfortunately smoked for a year longer than I wanted to but now have transportation to get over state lines to buy it. He banned it on incorrect information of course.
@Sky L if you're not using a normal nicotine liquid then you shouldn't be dependent. You don't get addicted to THC or CBD like you do nicotine and other drugs.
That's why I love this channel, it's just pure science, no bull.
@@donniedial3014 - I don't particularly find Nicotine in itself to be addictive, i can vape pure Nicotine (salt or freebase) and for some reason it just doesn't hit the spot and sends me back to the Tobacco, there's something else in Tobacco that's addictive and that people are wanting, but imo it's not Nicotine. Many people have made the point that if Nicotine was THE compound that's hooking people, then pure Nicotine would be enough, so gum, patches, pouches, vapes, yet most smokers who try vaping end up going back to Tobacco and say they're just not the same and while Nicotine does scratch a certain itch, the effect is small compared to what else is in Tobacco. Now, if i vape a vuse pod, i do feel that's addictive, but i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the flavoring in it, rather than the Nicotine, as i've bought the same strength Nicotine salt in unflavored liquid, and it doesn't have anywhere near the same effect as the vuse pods do, so they're slippin' something else in the pods that ain't Nicotine that certainly makes a hell of a difference.

I decided to quit smoking and made my plan. I was going to vape, ween off nicotine and then eventually not do either. Not the convenience store puff bars. A nice mod system. Now, before I quit cigarettes, climbing stairs was hard. I coughed ALL the time. I had a lot of fluid in my lungs. Then I transitioned over to the vape. After about 2 weeks, I was already breathing better. Coughing was 80% gone. I continued to vape as I reduced the level of nicotine over my plan's time frame. Once I got to 0 MG, I continued to vape but I started not taking it with me to stores or for short trips. Then, my family just noticed one day they hadn't seen my vape. I hadn't used it for 3 days. Now, I know there are a ton of people who debate this issue. Here is my take. For me, the vape was like training wheels and a way to break a pattern and habit in my behavior. I didn't just lose my mind and walk around grumpy. If I hadn't used the vape, I would still be smoking. The "have a plan" thing is spot on. Nothing foreign in the lungs is the best all around but if you can utilize a method to stop smoking, in the end, it turns out for the best. With mods you have to change coils and charge batteries. The fluid is cheaper and some is sweet enough it cut the candy cravings you can get when you quit smoking. Every time I tried before, I relapsed eventually. I would gain 40 to 60 lbs. With the vape, I was able to avoid that. Now, I don't do either. The point was to get better, not switch one habit for the next. Didn't want to be a slave to the substances anymore. I am a person who doesn't do well with "cold turkey". Call it what you want, mental weakness, whatever, but my plan worked and I AM SO MUCH better now. No more inhalers, no more coughing. I kept a pack of cigarettes in the house while I transitioned and I kept my vape charged and on a shelf for awhile after I was "done". It wasn't a just in case scenario for me. It was me taking control of me. If I wanted something, I didn't want someone else to tell me what to do or to feel trapped without the OPTION. They were there, and after awhile, I wasn't afraid to let go. I keep that pack and the vape to this day. Now it is a reminder that I accomplished something. They are always right there, but now I use it as a reminder that I wanted the change, set out with a plan, and accomplished it. For the record, cigarettes are terrible for people. They stink. Vapes smell better, but they are still not good for you. Your lungs need good, clean healthy air. So, if you have tried quitting but can't, this was my method. In the beginning all the different juices and flavors really kind of perked things up. Felt like I was doing something new, but something fun and exciting. I used my vape as I weened off for 6 months. 12 years later...fresh air, stronger lungs.
Can be proud of yourself

@@MyLove-qi6lg hey mate. Hope u get better soon. Maybe thisl help you:
Im on day 10 now from 2-3 packs a day since i lit up. I actually tried vaping with sub ohm over the last few years. It never really worked to get me off cigs. Turns out the nicotine from the big mods is what they call freebase and doent get absorbed as easily as cigs. So you kinda always sit with some level of withdrawl.
After my last payday i went to buy a nic salts pod. Just cause ive tried it and it was nice. 2 days later i ran outta cigs and didnt even feel like buying more. Went from 3 packs a day to nothing without even trying. A few days after that i just decided im done with it.
So if you fail now to cold turkey it. Try a pod system. You can ramp down the nicotine levels over time. But it definitely worked much better for me than normal sub ohm vaping.
Wish u the best mate
As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder majority of my life I would love if you guys could make a video discussing the physical effects of ED’s like anorexia and bulimia on the body.
I'd absolutely love this as someone suffering from an ed as well.

Agreed, my Mother has bulimia, and to this day it's hard for me to understand why can't she work against it
Also suffering with an Ed, anorexia, people need to understand that is a mental sickness & not easy to control.
I love how you present information in a clear and concise manner. Love your content ❤🎉
Having smoked for nearly 40 years I can tell you that vaping is much less hazardous. Yup it still has nicotine because that's the way I want it but I was addicted to nicotine long before I started vaping. The way I started vaping is I had a lung infection so bad they put me in a coma for 11 days. Through some complications I wound up in the hospital for nearly a month. Instead of trying to go back to smoking I was convinced to start vaping and to this day I am glad. The cigarette manufacturers are the ones behind the push to end vaping. They are missing their profits.
Yeah vaping is better but it's still bad and idk why you would smoke for 40 years that's just destroying your lungs it makes no sense
yeah, it makes sense, cigarette manufacturers are behind all of this stuff, saying if you have to choose between vaping or smoking do vaping is the less dangerous of the 2

@@KezanzatheGreat I never said vaping was 100% safe
It's VERY IMPORTANT to understand that "vaping" is a very broad term. It's also important to have, at least, the slightest bit of understanding before forming an opinion. E-cigarettes use a water-soluble liquid that can contain nicotine. THC concentrate vapes use an oil based liquid. There are dry herb vaporizers that can control heat applied to activate certain ingredients without combusting the plant matter. You can even get drunk inhaling the fumes off a heated alcoholic beverages. E-cigarette/nicotine liquid is highly regulated and highly studied, though of course the long term (25+ years) effects are still unknown. We do understand that it is significantly less harmful than smoking cigarettes, but obviously worse than not inhaling any substance. With legalization, THC concentrate vapes, as well as cannabis in general, will recieve more study into it's health effects, and get more quality regulation. For VITAMIN E ACETATE- it has never, and will never exist in e-cigarette/nicotine liquids. It can't. It is oil-soluble, not water soluble. They simply do not mix. It's generally thought that a dry herb vaporizer for cannabis is less harmful than smoking, but it's unkown if vaping a THC oil concentrate is less harmful than smoking.
Hit it perfectly..
I would also add. 2 of the biggest hospitals across the pond. Installed vape shops to deter people from smoking.. they also allow vaping on grounds...
I'd say one important clarification is that you seem to be speaking of products that are actually regulated. Those cases where the hospital found amounts of vitamin E and such probably came from cases where kids used totally unregulated stuff from china and nobody knows what may have been in it.
Inform Record THIS! 🙌🙌🙌
This video is very misleading. The guy supposes in his video that "most" vaping liquids contains Vitamin E Acetate and THC. He didn't even consider that most vaping liquids contain only 4 ingredients: propelyn glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavoring and nicotine. None of which have studies indicating they cause any diseases of the lungs. Propelene Glycol by the way is the same ingredient found in asthma nebulizers and most food grade products use PG. Vegetable glycerin is widely used in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. For instance, it is often added to foods to help oil and water-based ingredients mix, sweetening or moistening the final product.
This guy must be part of the Tobacco Industry propaganda to hate on vaping. Either that a supporter of the pharmaceutical industry which is getting a hit because nicotine patches and candies are less popular because of vaping.
@@ConceptWiseAsiaCWATV I definitely feel the video could have been more clear to divide e-cigarette liquid from thc oil. It should be noted, though, that flavored e-cigarette liquid contains significantly more that 4 ingredients, as "flavoring" could consist of hundreds of different chemicals. Also propylene glycol is not used in asthma treatments. BUT, it has been tested as safe for inhalation by the EPA, due to widespread use in air fresheners, cleaning products, fog machines, etc. It's important for those of us who are pro-vaping to not exaggerate or propagate myths, the hard science is strong enough.
My mom quit smoking using vaping and she no longer coughs up these [redacted] things into the trash. She also doesn't smell like an ashtray anymore.
My mom managed to get off cigarettes and started vaping instead while my dad managed to get off smoking completely
Seriously, its no contest vaping is the lesser evil.
Your not burning dead leaves in your mouth, lol.
sighhh... unfortunately my country bans e-cigarettes. it's so difficult quitting...
Same here man. Just make sure you let your mom know you’re proud of her for quitting smoking. My mom quit smoking through vaping and has dropped the percentage of nicotine in her vape down to 0%. Hell she barely even uses her vape nowadays. I’m proud of her. If only I was that strong lol.

Nice..
Likewise. I vape really high quality juice, cheap stuff is nasty and I notice the difference right away
Thank you for your future contribution❤️
I've been vaping for about 6 years. The last 4 have been on a flavourless homemade mix (vg, pg, nic). It was weird for like a week before I got used to and now I enjoy the subtle sweetness of the vg/pg and the nic's flavor. It's also incredibly cheap. I spend less than $200 on vaping a year, including all accessories.
With vaping or your body ?🤔
Smoked for 10yrs. Tried vaping and since then never had the urge to smoke again. I’d say it really helped
Are you still vaping though? Do you have urges to do that? If so, you didn't really quit anything. You just gave up one vice for another one.
@@KingPointy What the hell has vice got to do with it? Vaping is about harm reduction.

Like I said, you're essentially trading in one bad habit for another.
@@KingPointy Trading a harmful habit for a much less harmful one is a great gain which should be applauded, not denounced. You seem to think of all potentially harmful habits as "vices", presumably because you think of yourself as "virtuous". A virtue is an admirable and beneficial aspect of character, and simply being a nicotine non-addict doesn't meet that definition.

I'm getting there. Switched to vape about 4 months ago. I can tell it'll be much easier to quit the vape. If I forget it for the day or something... No big deal. With cigarettes, if I had to go all day without it was a bad day. Also I find I'm craving it less and less.
Vaping costs me $50 a month, $10 for 2 coils and 30 for a 60ml vape juice
I smoked for over 20 years, then I tried vaping and now I'm completely off cigarettes. Soon I hope to quit vaping too. It's way better than smoking tho.
Gradually reduce the nicotine content of the juice you buy over time. It will likely reduce your dependency on the substance and withdrawals wouldnt be such a burden.

@@lariwoo Nicotine ain't the thing that kills you.
Vitamin E acetate was only found in cannabis cartridges, mostly black market ones too. It was used as a thinning and cutting agent. E-liquids used in e-cigarettes have always been a combination of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavoring. It's kind of misleading to bundle them together in a segment where the layman has a hard time differentiating. This video also didn't contain any real information on what vaping does to the body. Should have just been called "What Vaping Vitamin E Acetate Does to the Body".
Gotta say I’m tired of this propaganda about vapes. Usually they mean nicotine vapes. Usually they conflate thc vapes with nicotine vapes to create the illusion that it’s nicotine vapes doing this, when in reality it’s thc vapes, and as some comments mention, black market thc vapes.
Really makes me wonder, why the push against vapes?
I’m pretty sure it was used to thicken it not thin it
I’m no expert though
So is vaping bad for you someone plz answer that so I can stop if it is
@@voloco_freestyle2543 It can't be any worse than smoking. I doubt breathing in anything is good for you, but supposedly all the other shit in cigarettes and the tar was what was really bad. Vapes don't do that. It's just nicotine and then the shit they use to mix it which hasn't ever been known to cause cancer.
Been smoking since I was 15. At 28 after vaping n smoking together, I decided to quit smoking n just vape. Now 32 I can breath so much better. And I'm proud I quit smoking. Something I thought I would never do because its hard.
Same here. Started smoking at 13, and quit smoking cigarettes about 3 months ago to try vaping instead. I'm 45 now, and am not nearly as winded by menial tasks as I used to be, and am decreasing my nicotine levels in the juice ever other week. It's a process, but I want to kick all of this crap out of my life for good. Glad you got a much earlier start than I did; I hope it goes well for you.

Technically you didnt quit, you just transitioned, but still smoking is much worse than vaping
Same here, start smoke at 17, stop smoking and start vaping at 24, now 28 stop vaping.
I was only a light to moderate smoker for about close to 30 years until I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I quit smoking and took up vaping. I mix my own liquid from propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin very lightly flavoured with diacetyl free food grade flavours and some nicotine I got before it was illegal (I'm in Australia). I had chemo and was on immunotherapy for about 5 years (stopped in April this year) and my scans have been clear since after I started immunotheray. I can walk 9km with no problems, my oxygen sats sit between 100 - 97% and I don't cough. I probably should quit vaping and probably will if my device stops working or I run out of ingredients as I can no longer legally buy them, but I enjoy vaping and can honestly say I don't notice any I'll effects from doing it.

Also shouldn’t even had to bring up the thc cartidges… it’s not vaping and you won’t find vit e acetate in regular juices becasue the manufacturers doesn’t need it.

So I think its safe to assume that you both are correct!
The problem is youre labeling vaping (marijuana) and vaping (eliquid) into the same bracket. While they are both called the same thing they are very very different. The vitamin E and THC are not things found in eliquid, and has never been found in it. Mislabeled video, misleading. Very knowledgeable but misleading title.

@@creeperstkoed6282 It drives me crazy when they conveniently leave that fact out.

@@theanatomylab 100% agree with this!
The problem is that EVALI only resulted from use of illicit THC cartridges. Nicotine products, which most associate with vaping, have never used Vitamin E Acetate. Legitimate THC cartridge manufacturers would never use Vit E Acetate, either.

I feel so much healthier and hope to get off both altogether this year. I hope other smokers find their path and quit smoking.
You are just getting the same amount of nicotine, but getting it through mostly vaping instead cigarettes. Your addiction is just continuing. Just the delivery method is different. I had to have a stent put into a heart artery in 2012. They gave me a list of things to NOT do to decrease the chance of artery blockage in the future. Then the Nurse told me "Of all the things I gave you NOT TO DO, if you are only going to not do ONE thing, don't smoke." So of all the possible things that can cause artery blockage, SMOKING was the most detrimental. Now, I have NEVER smoked. I have a bad enough genetic history of heart problems to do anything that would increase the chance of heart problems. To me, smoking is like stabbing yourself with a knife. Sure, one or two jabs may not do much, but when you accumulate them, and in different areas, and it's an ongoing process, sooner or later you are going to die.
@@1001Hobbies yes, but nicotine is not the issue here. Tar from tobacco smoke kills, and vaping weens people off of that. If done right, you can buy vape juice with decreasing amounts of nicotine until 0 and then quit

“Does not recommend you use products with thc”
Me: “hits cart”
I smoked from 16 to 50, vaped from 50 to 58. My GI tract started doing weird things. At first, I didn't associate the nausea with vaping. I thought I had some serious problem that was going to kill me. Had all the tests. They couldn't find anything. One doc says I need to have my gall bladder out. Another says I had diverticulitis. Colonoscopy and other imaging proved them wrong. Finally, I read that the polypropylene glycol can cause nausea and other GI related problems. It can also cause kidney failure. I quit the very next day (which was yesterday). It's hard, but the nausea is harder. I immediately started feeling better

I appreciate your unbiased approach. As someone who traded cigarettes for vaping, I'd say it's not merely the lesser of two evils, but at the bare minimum an order of magnitude safer (assuming quality gear and liquid). My lung function improved so much after a few weeks. I've vaped for seven years now and have never had a bout of bronchitis whereas it was common to have an episode each year as a smoker. I started at 12mg/ml nicotine potency and am now at 2mg/ml.
Same, I stopped smoking in 2020 in response to covid risk and wanting to give my lungs a better chance if I did catch it. Had tried to give up before with patches etc and failed every time! Started vaping with rebuildable tank, mod and good quality liquid @15 mg.. now down to 3mg and my chest is way better than it’s been for years, I’ve saved money and also don’t smell bad or have spots anymore.. I don’t condone starting vaping if your a non smoker, but if you’ve smoked for decades and want to quit I recommend it.

I have been vaping since 2015 after smoking for 20+ years. I read the research and ended up adding diacetyl back into my liquid since the "popcorn lung" issue isn't really a issue.
I have smoked, diped for 5'sh years then switched to vaping when it came out. After a few weeks I was able to breath better and run without dying like usual. I had the equipment at the time to check a few of the gasses like CO, H2S, O2, volatile and non-vol compounds, lower explosive limit and a few others. Needless to say in one hit 500ppm CO, 4.1ppm H2S, there were vol&non-vol compounds, it had a lower explosive limit present and the O2 Droped 3% from the mouth to the reader without inhale. That was one puff of a cigarette... I checked my Vape. There were no readings besides O2 dropping 4% after inhale vs 6-8% from a cigarette after inhale. My testing was short lived and not without flaw. All in all vaping may not be healthy but it is DEFINITELY a healthier alternative.
Maybe its a healthier alternative, but an even healthier alternative is not smoking or vaping at all. Be a stronger person and quit doing it all

what did you say? said a lot and nothing at the same time
Strength has nothing to do with addiction. No ones WANTS to vape or smoke, they just want to feel clarity or just enjoy themselves. When I have a really good day and I havent had to deal with peoples bs and lifes weight, yeah I can lean on that psychology, its true. You can say "I feel good, why change that?" Call it an excuse or weak minded mentality, but thats just life. Addiction exists yes, but not everyone can make that choice. Its not a question of why do it, its a question of what else can you do.
I vape and am in the military, and I can easily run a 5k no problem.
It's kind of incredible how teenagers fell for the same exact traps that nicotine companies used on their ancestors just with different branding
Nah this generation is just a bunch of sheeps.
Smoking but less harmful. Not an end all be all of smoking with no consequences. Really it should be for quitting smoking. I'm 17 years old.
what's your point?
Ahh not really, back in the day smoking was advertised as "doctor recommended" and shit like that to get people smoking xD at least vaping was "well it’s not AS bad as smoking but we really don’t know yet tbh, don’t do it, but do it" 😂
@@Slimpicken At 17 you shouldnt even have thoughts about smoking
I love your program. I excelled in Anatomy in college. I have used it in my massage practice for 43 years and as a fitness instructor before that.
I really appreciate the episodes that are wake up calls like the one on Alcohol and this one on vaping. I would never vape but I have smoked weed since I was 15. No paper and a clean glass pipe in micro doses, but still it’s a wake up call. Thank you for your straightforward knowledge of the human body
Ex heavy smoker here: 15 years of 2-3 packs per day. Switching to vaping 5 years ago was strange at first, but rewarding. I started doing sports, swim, play the flute. It was also way cheaper than normal cigs, cleaner. All seemed fine. About a year ago I reduced the nicotine to a trickle, then nothing. 2 weeks of really heavy placebo vaping later (and a LOT of coughing), I stopped completely. So here's my few cents about vaping:
1. About as easy to quit vaping than as it was to switch from cigs to vaping in the first place. So if you can transition, you're half way there...
2. Unbelievable health benefits after switching to vaping. However in the last year I did get almost constant coughs, which prompted me to start quitting it.
3. The lower the nicotine, the less numb the body is, the more you start coughing. I used the mildest aromas, the best atomizers, still coughed after almost each vape.
4. If you start vaping without ever having smoked, you're a moron.
5. If you put stupid stuff into your vaping liquid, you're a moron.
6. After you quit, all other vapers will look like morons to you. At least they don't stink of tobacco cinders.
7. I don't miss vaping. But I miss cigs, as bad as they were. But not this new fluff, the good old ones, the cheap stuff they used to kill us with 20 years ago. Remember that wide Dunhill red pack? The sound the lighter made, that scratch on your fingertip? That first smoke in the cold morning. I would've died for that... Almost did.
So, in my case, vaping help me do the impossible: quit smoking. "Help" is a weak word for that it did. Do I recommend it to other smokers? Duh, of course, it's cheaper, cleaner, tastier, but aim for complete stop later down the road. It's gonna be way easier than you think, once you get all those old reflexes out of the way.
i agree with you 100
i agree with you 100
I agree with you as well, these videos are not focused on old cig smokers, they are pointing to new young smokers who start vaping even without smoking a cig in their life, to prevent them from smoking other things, but vaping made me quit smoking cigs and that's true, I feel way better than before and I don't really miss smoking cigs anymore the only thing that I really miss sometimes is the combination of coffee and cigs but it's something that I can just get over it, life has more things to Enjoy.
My friends call my vape a douche flute lol
I am glad you found your solution to kick the habit. I still have the same issues you mention in point 7. I have been smoke free for almost 7 years (I smoked 2 packs a day for over 30 years)
I'll just stick to inhaling air. 6 years of vaping daily was definitely affecting my lungs negatively, towards the end of my habit I was getting piercing pains in my lungs and shortness of breath anytime I got my heart rate up. Been 1 year and 2 months since I quit and my lungs feel phenomenal, I forgot what healthy lungs felt like.
thats great!!
Wow that sucks. Glad you were able to quit completely. I stopped smoking via vaping and my respiratory system only had significantly positive improvements. I'm thankful cause I don't have any desire to not utilize nicotine, I just vape as it's much less harmful than smoking and I know exactly what's in the liquid.
Good job
start working out especially cardio it would improve your lungs

The thing I noticed when I gave up smoking was the stench of it on other people. It was saturated in their clothes and hair and I suddenly realised that I would have smelled that bad too for decades 😮
Let’s take a moment of silence for the man he killed to get those lungs
Hahaha hahaha

I have adhd and I can sometimes struggle to pay attention, but this video articulated and laid everything out to where it flowed so well. Thank you! I've been learning so much from them!
What you know
About rolling deep in the …
same here. i dont know if was the eye contact or what but it felt like he was really there in my brain and very informative.
This guy is going places. Strong presentation!
I've been smoking since 1983. I started vaping two months ago and don't miss cigarettes at all.
But I have been vaping too much, since I can do it just about anytime, anywhere.
I have to learn that part, and eventually quit vaping altogether, hopefully.
For now, it really helps a lot.
He's also super hot!😍
I vape for 12 years now, i do my lungs and blood check ups, my wife the same, lots of my friends and etc, and the fact here, is since we are clean, no trace that we smoked in the pass, and we all got sick much less. This video have no point, i dont understand
@@jclrebelothe point is to keep people from freaking out about vaping, learn about the ingredients, and that they still don’t have enough long term data on the effects of vaping yet
@@jclrebelo I think so, if you make your own eliquid (buy your own trusted pg and vg, aroma and mix them yourself) you know what is inside. Only vegetable gliserine and pg plus nicotine and aroma, no vitamin e or THC so nothing crazy. My brother and i have been vaping for over 5-6 years like this. Maybe still not perfectly healthy because of nicotine but still, if you exercise moderately you'll be fine.
Same here , vape way more then I smoked
If people would just remember that smoking / inhaling any foreign substance (deliberately) is a form of "air pollution" compromising their lungs (respiratory system at a minimum), they might reconsider their choice.
People living in areas of active volcanoes, wildfires, elevated smog know what it's like to deal with airborn particulate matter, esp. people living with allergies and asthma.
I had quit smoking for years because I switched over to vaping, and had even quit vaping for a year and a half. Recently picked smoking back up during a camping trip, and I feel AWFUL. My chest hurts, I cough all the time, my guts hurt, and I just feel generally disgusting. Not my proudest moment, but I'm glad to have a less harmful option while I work down to quitting again.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
It's not uncommon whatsoever for quitting to take multiple attempts. What matters is that you are making an effort and recognize the harm of the habit.
Best of luck!
Yep, get back to quitting before ‘feeling awful’ starts to feel ‘normal’ again. You got this!
d'you really need it???🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤔🤔😒😒
Well, that would make you a grade-A certified nimrod.
just stop. vaping isnt going to help you quit. youre still addicted to the nicotine. if you can ween yourself off using a vape you can do the same thing with cigarettes.
that is how powerful nicotine addiction is. people think they can do it one way but not the other. you can. its just your mind telling you. just stop. its really that simple. it should be doubly simple for you. you feel awful. why do you keep smoking?
I love how unbiased you present informations. You present facts without judgment and it's entertaining at the same time!
thats how all medical professionals should be as a basis
Very informative video that doesn’t debunk vaping as a whole, rather, telling people that vaping is still viable just to be careful with certain ingredients. Well done! Love your videos.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Yes, that's right. I researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful, it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression. I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase one?
Sporeville... Is pretty commendable and a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly

It's only a head
I mean it kinda is though in away, it’s educating people.
@@rickvandam3238 really? that´s your contribution?
Its misunderstood that THC vapes do indeed contain vitamin e acetate, though the reason being is people making their own and selling it, using vitamin e as what we would call "a cut". Its to reduce the amount of THC needed to fill up the vape, therefore you have a little THC but majority vitamin e acetate. Dont buy from the streets
Indeed if you wanna smoke cannabis concentrate get it from a reputable dispensary
That doesn't even make sense. I've made my own vape juice for years, the base liquids are pg and vg, they're extremely cheap. If you were to "cut" an eliquid, you'd just use more pg and/or vg.
@@munapulido9054 or just smoke the plant how it is. god, humans are so incessant in their need to over process everything on this planet. humans cant leave anything as nature provided. and then after processing we find that when humans touch something in nature they wind up making something that started out good for you bad.
@@jamieswain4888 Dab pens (carts) and "vapes" are two different things. Yes "vape" juice usually only contains VG, PG, sometimes added flavor and sometimes nicotine. Dab pen (carts) are really different. A lot people do not understand the difference. Most cases of "vaping" related illness were from the illicit carts sold on the street that were "cut" with Vitamin E acetate
@@jamieswain4888 The terminology may vary, but "vapes" and vape juice and different from dab pens and their carts

Thank you!
@@theanatomylab but this praise is absurd... your video is about EVALI, your title purports to be about vaping, and your presentation blatantly ignores the part where this is specific to a batch of black market thc products - specifically the presence of both vitamin e acetate and thc - how many of those cases presented with nicotine also in their system? how many presented with no vitamin e acetate? you should definitely go tilt at a different windmill, what did thc ever do to you?
@@theanatomylab the worst type of people are the one's who passively try to push their agenda forward. You know fine well those deaths were black market THC containing vitamin e and your video makes it seem like this is the situation with regular VG/PG vaping. Honestly please reply I'd love to know what you say or is it true that RUclipsrs just don't respond to criticism.
Smoked since I was 16, I switched to vaping 9 years ago, after 20 years of cigarettes. My lungs feel way better and I still have no problems. I finally started vaping without nicotine a week ago. I plan to quit vaping before the end of March.
this feels like a math equation loll, anyway good luck!
good luck bro..
I've been vaping 3mg for 2 years. Switched to 20mg for the last year or so and still on it. Today I bought a 20mg and 0mg just to sort of go back and forth to cut down on the nic. However, the 0mg just doesn't cut it...there's literally zero throat hit which sucks.
Good luck! It’s hard stuff
@@roughryder5 You have to buy a caliburn or something and put your own liquid in it, use a bit higher PG and you got the throat hit you are looking for!
bro, i really like your videos, but this one in particular is a bit misleading. If i may add some insight - CDC stats show the EVALI epidemic you refer to was most likely caused by black market THC cartridges containing vitamin E acetate, as you said. From what I understand, clear links between EVALI and regular nic vapes are not yet established.
at the time of the EVALI epidemic, the cannabis distillate used in many black market carts was found to be cut with vit E acetate, presumably to reduce production costs (mostly unscrupulous street dealers). the shady company who pioneered this novel use of vit E acetate as a cutting agent was known as honey cut, and following investigation by the CDC have since gone out of business. They found vit E acetate to be superior to other cutting agents such as MCT oil as its colour and viscosity is very similar to pure distillate. Hence, consumers would have a hard time telling if their carts were cut.
importantly, legal THC carts from certified manufacturers should NOT contain vit E acetate. legit carts should only contain pure distillate/live rosin. however, despite honeycut going out of business, i'm aware dodgy street carts are still circulating in some areas. as such, please dont smoke any cart that doesn't come straight out of a dispensary. whilst EVALI isn't as common now that vit E acetate is banned and more people are aware, cases continue to exist.
the THC in distillate carts is simply a concentrated but chemically identical version of what's found in flower (only talking about THC, not terpenes), and people have been smoking weed for centuries. Whilst im not saying smoking weed is harmless, I think it's misleading to discuss avoiding THC and vit E acetate similarly.
anyway, hope anyone reading will b a little safer should they choose to vape.
As a current vaper, I’m glad I live in the UK where ingredients are heavily regulated. I’ve been vaping for years and not yet noticed a decline in my lung performance. I do plan to quit by the end of this year though. Thanks for the video!
good luck
Dont plan a quit. When you want to do something do it now. Otherwise you will always push your plans to the next day.
@@vin5852 I never plan to quit love vaping cope and seethe, vanilla ass bitch. Been 4 years I'll let you know when I get hit by the vaping plague that's so bad it killed 68 people most of which were from weed cartridges filled with nasty chemicals that were illegal btw not made by a company.

why do you plan on quitting if you did not notice a decline in your lung performance?
