00:00So I do vape and I absolutely hate the fact that I vape, like I swear on my life, every
00:05single day I go, I'm going to quit, but it's just been put in place for kids, it's just like
00:09a money making scheme, like it's just absolutely outrageous, like I hate it and all my friends hate it as
00:14well, like we'll laugh about it every day, but it's just so ridiculous, it's just too easy accessible, like I
00:18remember I was buying vapes from like 15, like how are we even able to do that, it's absolutely ridiculous.
00:23Well the flavours are more toxic to young people, that is true, I've smelt a lot of the ones that
00:29kids have and it's just pure sugar, like gummy bear, for instance, that's a very child oriented.
00:36I think it's terrible, yeah I don't care for it, worry about the kids, worry about the children, I don't
00:43like to see them in the streets thrown away, you know, you hear about things like it may cause popcorn
00:49lung, but who knows what it's going to cause in the future.
00:54I think it is becoming a trend, I think it's more of a trend than an actual lifestyle choice, I
01:01think people are just jumping on the bandwagon with it, you know, you can see everybody else doing it, they
01:05want to be part of it.
01:06I know people who just vape in their bed, in their room, just like, while they're studying, you know, like
01:13there's no real limit to when you stop and you end up intaking even more stuff.
01:18There's no societal infrastructure or anything to stop you, whereas smoking can't smoke in doors, you can't smoke in pubs,
01:24and that kind of thing.
01:25Every single day I wake up and go, I wish I didn't vape, because I don't want to die!
01:29I wish I didn't vape, because I don't want to die!
