Could the vaping industry go up in smoke?

- The vaping industry has surged over the last decade, as health bodies have promoted it as an aid to quit smoking while cigarettes continue to fall out of fashion.
But the vaping industry is facing a reckoning. Governments are looking to restrict the sale of disposable vapes amid concerns about the rise in vaping among young people and non-smokers getting addicted.
Marcus Saxton, CEO of British vape company Totally Wicked and chairman of the Independent British Vape Trade Association, said: “The [vaping] market is worth between $3 billion and $4 billion. You could estimate, and intelligence would suggest, that the illicit market could be as much as two-thirds of that.”
As revenue from cigarettes declines, big tobacco companies hope to capitalize on the fast-growing vape market, Owen Bennett, global tobacco and cannabis equity researcher at Jefferies, told CNBC.
“The old cigarette model in terms of volume declines was becoming much more pressured,” he noted.
As of October, 28 countries have banned the sale of e-cigarettes. The U.K., Germany, France, Ireland and Belgium are among the countries looking into how they can ban disposable, or one-use vapes, as they continue to grow in popularity.
However, regulating that could be an uphill struggle.
Jasmine Khouja, a senior research associate from the University of Bristol’s Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group, said: “What we’ve seen in America is that [vaping] has kind of plateaued, and I think it’s starting to reduce a little bit as well. So I think we probably won’t see much more of an increase.
“I think we’ve got to around the level at which it will be at its most popular, but how long it takes for it to decrease in popularity, again, is yet to be seen.”
So, what does the rise in vaping mean for the tobacco industry, and is the hysteria over its impacts well-justified? Watch the video to find out.

Big tobacco is out here doing hall of fame numbers when it comes to gas-lighting Governments into believing that banning vapes but not cigarettes too is the solution? Coincidence I think not. It’s perfect that countries are banning disposable vapes for “health concerns” but still make original tobacco cigarettes available. They are literally getting their competition outlawed so they gain back their original position in the Tobacco / smoking market. (More profit for them)
they own vape companies too, theyre not fighting for a ban either. did you even watch the video
heroin is easy tobacco is hard
I have a picture of a ghost on a tv.
Heh.. Gas-lighting.. Heheheheh

@@popexviii4429you care enough to comment…
Its always been so annoying that nicotine vaping and cannabis vaping have been conflated when they've always been two entirely different products, for different uses, with completely different degrees of legality.
Yhh weed much worse for u yes I do both, and weed and line here and there and.
As ex-smoker I feel the vaping methods as reducing nicotine very effective💪... From 1 pack of cigarettes to 9mg nic vape, to 6mg, and now at 3-2 mg nicotine... And less "itchy" Feeling when I don't get nicotine supplies... It works👍
I firmly believe in the cold-turkey method.
@@Model3GenerativeANdroid I can't say no, but it doesn't work for me... At third/fourth day, my body feels itchy, can't sleep at all... It was nightmare
@@omochaworld1928 I completely understand that, but in the end, after going through cyclical phases of stopping and then starting again without succeeding, I've made the decision to bite the bullet-but with a warning. Since I don't drink I admit that I occasionally indulge in hemp smoking with three years without nicotine now.
@@Model3GenerativeANdroid
If someone chews tobacco and has really terrible itching feel across his entire body, which increases at night. What would you think of that?? Any solution
@@Model3GenerativeANdroid I can't indulge hemp smoking like you bruh... It's illegal here in my country...
I stopped smoking after 50 Years only through vaping. I tried all of the "pharmacy " ways (patches,gums,pills, etc.) Only vaping worked.
Did you smoke while on patches and chewing the gum at the same time? My dad did that and his body got sick of nicotine and that's how he quit
Probably did till he 0:07 found a vape, he then stopped self fkn explanetry spazstick
Yes it worked for me!
hitting my vape rn as I watch this
A lot of those vaping deaths in the US weren’t tobacco/nicotine related, they where THC/CBD related a lot of bootleg wax pens in scummy liquor stores screwed teens and adults that couldn’t buy from shops either because of age or states that are strict or don’t have a legal market for weed
Those Mario Karts where killers
This is so overlooked to trick people in the public to believe that vapes were the killer it’s so fucking annoying.
@@punctuationgamer636 they just like to bend the truth for their agendas, the information is out there for people to look into it for themselves it for sure is annoying
@@KingNoLuv didn't they say that in the video?
here is a better idea, don't do any of it
I quit cigarettes around 5 years back. I used vapes to bring down the nicotine levels progressively. No wonder governments are banning vapes. They do not want people to quit cigarettes. They lose on big taxes. They also lose the patronage of big tobacco companies,
Exactly, that's my take as well. Governments are banning vapes because they get a smaller share from it compared to the tobacco industry, so it's all about money.
though i somewhat agree, vaping has brought a lot of people who never would have smoked cigarettes, into the addiction of nicotine. i know many people who never smoked cigarettes that vape. especially young people. i even grew up hating cigarettes, and still can’t stand them. but i just recently quit vaping after a 4 year addiction. while it can be very helpful to smokers, too many people who never smoked are getting addicted to it.
@@zootin6688 well brother there's first time for everything, cigarette smokers also start smoking exactly like that nobody comes out as a smoker from mother womb so your argument is kinda vague.
@@shahzaibshehzad2155 there are a lot of teens in high school that vape that wouldn't ever smoke cigarettes. i was one of those dumb kids, and i knew a lot of them. vaping is easy to do, easy to hide, and doesn't have a stigma around it like cigarettes. idc if you think my argument is vague, that doesn't just dismiss my experience. if you really think that most/all people who vape and have never smoked cigs, would have just picked up cigs anyway, then you just don't have a clear perception of a big demographic of vape users.
the fact is that young people these days are getting hooked on vapes, not cigarettes. to assume that they would all just be cig smokers if vapes weren't a thing, is a complete non argument, and misses the point of why vapes are so popular with young people rn.
@@zootin6688 Yes, you do have a point !
thanks to Vapes,i manage to quit smoking cigarettes completely,and now i feel very healthy than before
Big tabacco laughing. They made a brilliant pivot to hedge both options for themselves. Either way, they win.
50mg be in now
Making some now
I hate vaping but banning them completely is not the solution. Vapes where created to help people quit smoking so if you ban them you would be pushing back all those people. More regulation against companies importing and stores selling illegal vapes seems like a better compromise
They were not created to help anyone quit smoking. They were created to make money. How they are used is up to the individual...
I tried it for quitting. Ended up with this horrible wet feeling in my chest and gross cough. As soon as I stopped vaping, it went away, and I was back to smoking 😅
@@nagadsby9413 Vaping was created to help people quit smoking
@@nagadsby9413if you’ve never smoked you have no reason to vape
End of story
It’s a transmission of nicotine
If you don’t need nicotine than you don’t need a vape
@@rubybonsparkletits2323 you had that horrible cough because you were healing now no
Similar as some other commenters, for me I smoked about a pack a day for 19 years.
Picked up a vape at 12mg, then 9mg, when they changed at made it only 0, 3 and 6, I been on 6 with a splash of 3 ever since. I feel a lot better so far around 1.5 years without any cigarette. Much more casual vaper than I was a frequent smoker.
I reside in the USA, I’ve only seen nicotine vapes that contain 5, 3 & 2% nicotine-where have you purchased those 12 & 9% nicotine vapes? That’s wild! (Personally I’m ok with the 5% but I’m just curious about the stronger strength ones as I’ve never seen them!) also I’m referring to the disposable ones that can be charged-I don’t know if that matters?
@@stitches513 they're unavailable now
Ban the disposables but not the refillable one
yeah as I vapor, the disposable ones are ridiclous - shouldn't be allowed for sure. I'm not even some enviroment geek, but disposables seem like the biggest waste ever.
I don't even get why people use the disposable ones, they're terrible value for money compared to refillable.
Disposables should be banned if only for the environmental impact factor. That goes for disposable THC vapes, too.
@@Alkimi15 you pay for convenience. same for people that buy packs of cigarettes. you could just buy the tobacco and roll your own, much cheaper. but people don't want to.
@@ent2220 at least the fucking 800 puff ones, people can go though those in a day and it uses a whole ass battery. I dont understand how thats even profitable
i started vaping at 18 when it was still legal to do so in my state & at the time, my mental state made me look at it like “i could be doing much worse than this,” especially as someone who never smoked cigarettes. i’m 24 now & with everything i’m aware of on the streets now, it still holds. i could be doing much worse.
bro same like, I smoke weed and vape, so I do actually do drugs. But I could be doing worse drugs.
you have set the wrong bar for yourself, because you could be doing much better. vaping is extremely harmful.
They make 0MG for a reason my wife never smoked cigarettes and vapes 0MG and enjoys the flavors i really don’t see the big deal in it we pay for it so it shouldn’t matter who chooses to vape , a cigarette habit is way worse and more expensive ,when i was a smoker I spent about $196 a/Month that’s about $2300 a year with vaping I spend about $80 a year on ejuice its even cheaper if you decide to make your own vape juice
I used to smoke about a pack a day. Got tired of smoking and went to e-cigs. Eventually went the sub-ohm cloud makers, got tired of that and decided to quit. It was actually pretty easy. I just got tired of taking care of the atomizer and everything.
Same. Been 7 years since I smoked a cigarette.
@@Ken-fh4jc man I smoked one years ago after running out of e cig juice and it was terrible. I realized at that moment you acclimate to breathing smoke, like a fish in water.
Hell no they just want people back into smoking cigarettes
@beefsniffer1921 cuz life is stressful & full of loneliness but yes they want us to self destruct & lose our minds I agree with you well the government makes it stressful
@@peamutbubber Because people are addicted to nicotene. You take one source of nicotene and people will drift over to another. Likely ciggaretes as they are the most convenient option aside from vaping devices.
lol what? The government also hates cigarettes. stop the conspiracy theory about big tobacco ruining your primary addiction.
If I own a company that makes people addicted to a substance, then another company introduce a "safer" substance I would try to buy them out or obtain that technology to sell the "safer" option. Monopoly is better. and owning different types of addictive products to sell to the masses would bring more profit to a wider audience.
@x_sama5560 well it's obvious that they don't want people vaping becuase tobacco companies want to try to win us back I used to vape 30mg of nic now I'm down to 6mg
The fact that cigarettes have still not been banned yet but vapes are is sad. Ban them both or don't ban them at all. Let it be a choice
Vaping is 100x better than cigarettes and is a huge help in quitting.
How long dod it take for smoking to go “out of trend” there you’ll find your answer
They've banned them in Australia purely because they're unregulated and aren't taxed... The government is addicted to that cigarette money, with a pack of 25 cigs costing up to $50 with that price being increased by 5% a year. This isn't about health, it's about money.
Vaping became dead when they started outawing the best flavors. Like 5 years ago, they started outlawing specific ingredients that made the vapor taste amazing
this video gotta be funded by the cigarette industry
as a vaper and smoker, it’s great to see someone getting the facts right for a change!! great video👍
As a former smoker & vap user, I would've not been able to quit smoking without vaping. It's definitely serving its purpose, however, in the wrong way & form. The bans on flavors attracted to teens & materials in the liquid is a start. More regulation is necessary. It is comparatively to cigarettes a better alternative but as mentioned in the video. Best to not do either. I now have moderate COPD due to these & I'm only 30. I am now nicotine free for almost a year.
I can understand using vape to quite cigarettes, but don’t see the point in taking up vaping if you never smoked in the first place, yes I agree it looks attractive to minors
You most definitely don't have COPD bc of vaping.
How exactly would they start by banning certain flavors "liked by teens" matter... Like legal adults won't get the vape flavor they want and prefer, only because it's favorited by teens. Say they KNEW what flavors teens even like, which they shouldn't even know because it shouldn't be getting sold directly from a smoke shop to the teens hands. And, if someone vapes, it's no easy task to quit, let alone cold turkey because their favorite flavor was banned. They'd just find a new flavor to vape 🙄
Firstly, you don't know that. Your assumption is ignorant because there is minimal data on the topic at this time. Secondly, re-read what he said. It clearly indicates he developed COPD due to smoking and switched to vapes to assist in quitting cigarettes, and while successful, in the meantime somewhat exacerbated his existing COPD. @@RaVeN1K
Bro... When I was in highschool (only 12 years ago) all my buddies were on Copenhagen wintergreen. How the hell is that any different??????
Does CNBC do any reporting on big pharma corruption?
no
I don't vape but my gut says this is scare mongering by the big boys to protect their interests. .
Making harm reduced vapes illegal would be a massive cultural mistake. Don't give big-tobacco what they want.
Single use cannot be recycled
They have rechargeable batteries in them, they can be recycled (not saying they do, but they could).
They can be recycled but it's arduous with the components used to make them. Refillable vapes are a better alternative.
I think another way that needs to be considered is that if all the people that would otherwise be smokers are vaping, its a net positive, yeah they may have never smoked, but in a different world where vapes dont exist they would be having issues
What a balanced segment, looking at this I have no idea how Australian media and government can get it so wrong with the misinformation they spread yet everywhere else in the world (mostly) the coverage and research is balanced and evidence based.
I took up vaping to be with my children for longer and has been the only smoking cessation method that has worked for me, it breaks my heart what the Australian government is doing.
Britain, although potentially with rougher roads ahead depending on the next public consultation and the amount of people who answer the call to action are so blessed to have the medical professionals backing them.
Please, from an Australian who’s about to enter the dark ages of vaping with accessibility becoming almost impossible…please do not make the same mistake we did. Advocate and answer the calls to action, help yourselves to protect yourselves!
Never smoked, Never will be.

7:36 Please tell me that's one from your team in the background.
Probably
Australia has already banned single use vapes to stop kids from vaping. other countries should do the same.
Vaping was what helped me quit smoking. I smoked for 20 years and vaped for a few. Im now nicotine free for 2 years. Canadian govt has made it difficult for those vaping by mega price increases and limits on products but its helped so many people regardless.The vaping misinformation contributed to it, Im sure. Its still widely believed by those who dont vape. If governments are going to be banning vaping then cigarettes need to be as well. Something they will never do because they make too much money on it.
I feel like we've lost the plot. It seems like public officials demonize vapes and ignore that they're replacing something so much worse.
There's a local smokeshop in my area that openly has signs saying "this store is not allowed to sell to minors" bc they've been caught doing it... multiple times... and there's still kids going in there daily. If they wanna restrict it, they better do it well
Edit: the point isnt to fully stop it. I know. That's obvious. But if they want to MINIMIZE IT, they would still have to restrict it. Like, slow it down. The whole point.
There is no doing it well. Selling vapes is essentially on the honor system just like selling tobacco is. The majority of people won’t sell to children but some always will. And when you have countless retailers all across the country selling these products it’ll be impossible to catch all of the people breaking the restriction. My point is is that teens will always find a way to access age restricted products alcohol,tobacco, and now vapes.
Yeah there will never be a way to fully stop kids/teenagers from getting there hands on stuff they shouldn’t be doing
Its all about the money like everything else.
I was perfectly fine vaping, but around 2018-19 something happened to a lot of juice or something to where my lungs were way more fucked than they were from smoking. I really think they should bring menthol back for both cigarettes and vape.
vaping is SIGNIFICANTLY better than smoking a typical tobacco cigarettes but its still bad for you... even if it takes an additional 30 more years than smoking
There are genuine health concerns with vapes but they are quickly becoming one of the most seen objects of litter these days, just everywhere
They are still much less harmful than cigarettes.
There are no genuine health concerns. There are plenty of legitimate studies showing that. Name one that shows the health concerns
Seemed pretty unbiased. Thanks
Do you think its actually big tobacco lobbying to stop vapes at least until they can get in the market?
i love how all the footage is so old,its showing vapes you cant even buy anymore
They need to be regulated and the packaging/flavour names changed. When 11 year olds are vaping on TikTok live and in school toilets its an issue. I see them at the bus stop doing it after school, weed as well
Yeah cause the kids didnt smoke cigs before vapes were around. Cigs been regulated. Regulations dont prevent teen use. They will find a way😂
yeah Cuase regulation has worked so well before in stopping teens getting there hands on illegal substances
Vaping saves lives for adult smokers, I know this because I have smoking related heart disease which nearly killed me 16 years ago, I finally switched totally to vaping over 10 years ago and while my health will never be what it once was I am still here! I think people need to be more realistic and understand kids would have experimented with smoking and become smokers, and while I am not happy about it I would rather see some of those who would smoke, instead vaping. I do believe the availability should be limited to retailers who will age verify and not sell the oversize (often with higher than legal levels of nicotine) which are either single use or rechargable single use devices.
Does vaping help people quit smoking? definately and I would (and do) recommend it to many adults I know and have helped them with suitable devices and advice on e-liquids that will suit their needs best. I did try many times and different ways to quit smoking before I started Vaping (the only one that works for me)
Vaping is 99% less harmful than smoking cigs. I’ve personally been vaping for 10 years and the previous 10 years, I smoked cigs. The difference is obvious. And when I was a teenager, ALL my friends smoked cigs. Every generation wants to smoke something
it's the same, just concentrated
@@El_coyote710 It’s not.
@El_coyote710 Both contain nicotine, but smoking produces a ton of carcinogenic tar that you don’t get with vaping. Vaping is much less detrimental to your health.
@@El_coyote710Lol. You don't know what you're talking about. What a perfect misinformed pawn for big tobacco.
@@Filbertfriend weed smoker 🤣 joints only no tobacco for me
I brought up the THC/VitE acetate issue at a county commissioners meeting. I also cited up the Royal Institute study confirming it to be 20x safer than smoking. A Juul rep showed up in SUPPORT of the flavor ban (it included chewing tobacco). The same old "protect children" theme was heard over and over. The ban was killed through a technicality and luckily we still have flavored nicotine products here. Big tobacco is behind all the ban lobbying and that's clear to see.

I have vaped for years long before disposables and never understood the point of them as seems like a step back as single use defice is bad for the enviroment
I love vaping 7 days a week 😎 Juicy Bars are the best. I go through one a week and it’s only 16 bucks.
That's sad people need to make each vape last they would make there money last longer i personally think someone should make a vape last a 2 3 weeks maybe a month

How come no news channel ever talks about the tobacco industry and the money they lose if people switch to vaping.
Another worry is that all gapes are practically chinese now
Banning vapes is the worst idea ever.
As a smoker since 16 and now 49, I just quit smoking tobacco 4 months ago with vaping and I no longer have COPD.
So does that mean that I'm not going go back to tobacco once I can't have my vape?
No.
I'll go right back to smoking because I still have a tobacco craving. Besides, I'm not gonna lie... I'm enjoying my life.
And that's exactly what it's gonna do to anybody else that wants their tobacco intake and can't get a vaporizer... that or gum.

That means once they're gone, they're gone... and every time I go in they look at me like, "oh boy! It's getting close."
@@EllaJay We might have a chance if we try to get it as a prescription, like how they started out cannabis.
Then they can regulate it, to make sure that adults are getting it, and they would be able to track it easier if children get a hold of it.

What about tobacco and alcohol? Its safe right?....
tapered off nic by putting my vape outside ,, then switched to füm now im just using that
The ones that looked like a cigarette was somewhat popular in my high school 10+ years ago, the new ones became popular in 2015 and now are a common sight in my country.
The government makes a lot of tax revenue from tobacco even with all the restrictions and let’s not talk about alcohol,lottery,soda,fuel ect.
tbh its not going to do much banning disposables. think they forgot about single use pod system vapes
We have a big problem with vapes setting off fire alarms in our school, it got so bad that they closed all the boy toilets (which is illegal, so the school got a spanking form the county), but now Norway is banning flavored vape juice, so only tobacco flavor is allowed. I hope this will stop the problem
Vape juice don't set of fire alarms, they were smoking something else lol
Set of mine at home...@@simontan5295
Well as they are trying to ban nicotine in vaping products in Australia reformulate the e juice to use caffeine as a additive to replace the nicotine

The title is a bit misleading. You are basically talking about the e-cigarette industry, NOT the vaping industry. Using a portable vaporizer is preferred to "smoking" cannabis and I don't really know anybody who vapes nicotine products anymore.
"Here on the busy streets of London, you OFFER encounter ...." ??? You meant "often" right ?
Just ban non vape stores and supermarkets from selling them, the amount of phone and computer shops I see selling disposables is crazy
I vape and I'm for getting rid of one use vapes or at least limit the numbers. Got all this mining for battery material and trash from disposables that get used once n trashed and that battery material and plastics builds up. Also alot of the disposables use Chinese ejuice which I don't trust. Get a pod device or aio mod that you can buy or rebuild the coil, I think that should stay. Also why even bring the weed thing up that was illegal markets selling boof and teens buying it. Has nothing do with the use of nicotine and the cessation debate. Only other thing I'd change is nic salts shouldn't be past 40mg at most ive seen up to 65mg a 6.5% blend and that too strong you'll build up a nic habit that's comparable to 3 packs a day in no time if not careful. If ya can get buy of what they call freebase dripper ejuice that at most is 12mg stick to those. Gets hard to put down with ease of convenience and hardly a smell at those 50 plus mg nic salts. Just an opinion 🙃✌️
I used to smoke hookah daily; many times a day ; and then tried to smoke regular cigarettes; now I'm using a vape (E-cigg) and it's better for me in my way to quit quitt it all
I love how they say 'dispose responsibily' but no recycling centre will take them cos they are too hard to recycle. Which is very sad and frustrating. Disposable vapes are so bad for the environment, they should have recycle facilities for them.
It better destroy itself, I have seen people even teens who never smoked before but get started with vapes, which totally defeats the purpose of it.
Agreed!
The purpose is to have a healthier alternative to cigarettes. They are...

I like vaping has only been arou d for a short amount of time but we have been smoking for centuries, yet they won't even touch smoking. How does that make any sense
I was anti smoking and anti vape until i tried a vape 3 years ago. Been dealing with addiction to vape for 3 years. Just never smoke or vape!
You're so anti vape that you tried one anyway?!? Sounds like a you problem.
you are weak

Why does everything need to be controlled? What happened to freedom?
So Marlboro 2024 ad "Come back to where the flavor is!"
Anyone in the government for this, is on big tobacco's pay roll.
The argument that a few deaths with vaping compared to thousands with smoking is similar to saying nuclear energy is bad but continue to use fossil fuels. Vaping is bad for you I agree but people are blowing it way out of proportion.
It’s funny that soon cigarettes will become the new “organic, natural” tobacco product. Just you wait.
Thanks to vapes i used to cough up endless flim even a month after i stopped and i dont even smoke them on the regular i hate it.
Anything with "NBC" in it has some kind of angle.
Started vaping in highschool. My state banned all flavors. Now I just smoke cigs because it tastes better than artificial tobacco
It's interesting how people's opinions change according to time and extreme polarization, yet no consideration is given to moderation. Society never made using tobacco in moderation acceptable and using it all the time unacceptable. Now tobacco is vilified and marijuana is glorified, just as tobacco was a few centuries ago with all its magical cures. Wonder what will happen next
Vaping is great if you are ex smoker, but I agree that disposable vapes should be banned. They are overpriced and usually have a lot of nicotine.
Do you know when cigarette smokers want more nicotine they just smoke more cigarettes. Id rather smell a vape than a pack of burned cigarettes!
The funny thing is they claim these disposables are only allowed up to 6%. I vape 6% out of a mod, I hit a disposable and get a head rush from hell. I been smoking one for about a week now and STILL get a head rush. I smoked like a pack of cigarettes a day at 16. No way I should be getting a head rush from this tiny little vape that barely produces smoke.
Since we’re banning things that are bad for a person I’m guessing cigarettes and alcohol are next right??
