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
What cleans the tube, like is there medicine or some drink like tea to clean your system? Could you let me know?
So just highly hypoteticaly if i smoke weed with THC from vape i can get inflamation? Im not from English speaking country thank you
Check out the middle of my hand. ;)
Dude is holding a human head
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!
@@icecoldchilipreppers6496 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.
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.
@@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.
@@hillalahmadzai9042 popcorn lung isnt a thing. its a myth
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!
… but smoke 40 vapes daily lol
Vape really change everything. But corruptions wants to ban vape.
Hope you mean that you quit vaping aswell. Since its way worse then smoking.
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 strongly agree to this. 👏
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.
cant say anything but agree with 4 and 5 at 100%
"And of course we will take out some real human lungs" - Yep, I'm new to this channel...
Am yeah wtf... lol
Capp, homies not alive so it’s not real valid eveidence😂
yep me too
Did you happen to notice the half a head?
@@WinterInTheForest Yep....I did :)
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.
I’ve never smoked nor vaped, nor plan to do so, ever! Problems associated with vaping are new, and only the future will tell us whether this will lead to some really serious issues ahead. I recommend that people don’t even start vaping. Be strong!
I appreciate this science , unbiased actual information SOOOO MUCH!!! I was able to quit smoking thanks to vaping. I haven't smoked a cigarette since July of 2019 4 YEARS!!!🎉 The difference in my breathing, sleeping & quality of life is enormous! I do worry about the possible bad effects of vaping, but I can share that in my personal experience when I was a cigarette smoker I had developed asthma, when I'd get a cold I'd be sick for a loooooong time & I'd have a cough every morning. Plus they smell disgusting. All that has gone away since vaping. I don't use the disposables, I use a VooPoo brand device and the ejuice I use says it is acetate free. I honestly feel vaping has saved many years of my life. I hope vaping continues to be a legal, accessable smoking alternative available to adults who need or want it.
Again, I appreciate this information so very much!
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

Bro, bagi pp lu
I started smoking cigarettes since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
Amen God bless people. 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.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Hey! Yes Dr.benfungi
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
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
@Instagram
Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist who will teach you the right things you need to know
I feel the same too. I once got my shroom from him and he's a genius. I'm glad to be part of his community.
Before we start, i want to say thank u for our sponsor for today: Steve for his body
Steve 🤦🏽♂️
Rip steve
Oh, the savagery and wretchedness of science 😭
Stevewilldoit?
Oh hello watamates
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.
I didn’t tell anyone when I stopped smoking either, it will be 11 months tomorrow
KEEP GOING WOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSVWVDIXOSNRICUWVEICKE DOCNEISNEVDUDJEBDJD
I quit vaping after 6 years (after using it to quit smoking cigarettes after 20 odd years). Today is DAY 5 without vaping. I'm using varenicline, but struggling a great deal. Craving, very depressed - like there's no life beyond this. I won't vape, but I do look forward to feeling human again... and to finding my "new normal". Quitting vaping is actually harder than it was to quit smoking (to me, at least), which was very hard! Glad I've stopped but it is torture 😓 Wish me luck ✨️
Best of luck to you!! I admire your dedication. I suffer from MDD. GAD & PTSD and if I knew I could do something that would make it all go away I would in a heartbeat.
So 👏 👏 way to go. How are you getting on now?
I smoked my whole life, (59yo) but when my son opened a vape shop, he gave me a vape. I used it for 4 days, ran out of smokes and never had another smoke since. I vaped for 4 years, and I was able to quit vaping by lowering my nicotine level by half every 2 week. Eventually I had no nicotine, and after a month of that I no longer vaped. It is never good to cold turkey unless you are really willing to suffer through intense withdrawal! I did have withdrawal with the reduction in nicotine, but it was fairly mild and easy to adapt to.
Non smoker here and vaping. I want to get off them so bad, the brain fog is so bad and I feel like I become less intelligent every day and my energy levels are awful, because of vaping. This video helped so much to give my brain a visual input on what vaping actually does to your body. I regret starting it, I'm only 19 and I feel 50.
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.
@@TheSHOTTA61 So.. You started smoking at 11? 🤔
@@2010MegaScooter I think 14 if my math is correct
@@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.
@@shawna4309 oh, didnt read that part. But yeah. Especially in 3rd world countries. I first tried a cigarette in my 1st grade

I want to congratulate everyone who has left comments about the ability to overcome their smoking habit. You guys rock!
Keep up the great work.
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 😮
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!
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.
Try stopping
@@futureintechnology5738 going on 2 months and a couple of days without vaping. Lungs still feel unhealthy but not as bad as before.
@@nasaman5843 Go run, GYM if u can and in 1 Month those lungs will be like new.
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.
@@Jesusmariaquesada thanks for the advice. Definitely need to start cardio
As someone who started smoking cigarettes at 12 and never really vaped until high school. The whole anti vape thing is like a kick in the teeth, because I didn’t start with vaping it was actually helping me quit smoking. I’ve tried nicotine gum/patches and they don’t work, i feel like I’m more addicted to the action of taking a puff and feeling the sensation of the smoke or vapor being inhaled. I do feel that part of it is the nicotine, but it also has a lot to do with the action. I’ve also tried sunflower seeds, and it doesn’t really cut it for me. Then a lot of the laws changed around vapes and I just went back to cigarettes cause it was less of a pain in the ass to get what I wanted.
Thank you for your comment. What happened while you were using the sunflower seeds? The top 3 nutrition entries for sunflower seeds are copper (3 weeks on one week off) vitamin E and manganese.
@@cherylm2C6671 they didn’t do much to help, the action of moving my hand to my mouth and chewing on something every few minutes didn’t do anything to alleviate cravings. Every time Ive quite and started smoking I’ve slowly come to the realization it’s actually the feeing of the smoke itself. Vaping was able to give me that same feeling and the benefit of being able to slowly decrease the amount of nicotine overtime so I could eventually quit. The people who get higher and higher amount of nicotine are the people ruining it for everyone else who are just trying to stop smoking cigarettes which are way harder to quit than vaping.
@@alexhensley2329 i vape around 10-15ml a day at 3mg per ml, at some point i decided to quit for a bit to see how long the withdrawal would last and to see how bad it is. For me the withdrawals lasted about 3.5 to 4 weeks, after that i barely had any cravings, and the times i did they weren't very strong and could easily ignore them, but after 2 months i decided to start again because nicotine makes me more alert. When i stopped vaping i had to increase my coffee consumption from 1 coffee to 2-3 a day to stay awake, and since one of them had to come from a coffee shop as i would not be at my house for me it ended up being cheaper to just have a coffee at home vape, so i started again
To purposely inhale over 200 carcinogens 20 to 50 times a day is incomprehensible to a none addict, if you have kids or grandkids , find a bloody way to stop,
If you're an addict. . .you're an addict! No 2 ways around it.
Thank you for creating this content! My intention is to fully get clean and recover, and watching this helped me to kick start the motivation.
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
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🙌🇺🇸🙏
Proud of u and Amen 🙏
Awesome!
I smoked for fifty and quite in 2018 using the vape. Thc Vapes are different then nic vapes.
Vaping is a hell of a lot worse than smoking , thats comming from a funeral director of 35 years
@@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'm very disappointed by this video. Vitamin E (or other oils) or even THC and CBD, are not what 99.99% of vapers inhale. It's like making a video about smoking and then spending most of the time talking about effects of burning crack. How is that informative to a normal smoker? What we (should) care about is propylenglycol, glycerine, nicotine (those will be common in most eliquid) and then there are hundreds or thousands of (usually food-safe) aromas where it would be good to know if some are harmful when inhaled instead of ingested. I was hoping you'll show us what a lung of a real long-term vaper looks like compared to a healthy one and a smoker, and unfortunately there's none of that :-( Also the GI tract mention was promising but lead nowhere - what does possibly swallowing some condensate or eliquid do to your stomach? What is the effect of having low dose nicotine in you mouth and upper GI tract do to it? What about effect on gums? Acid reflux due to constantly tasting something? Btw I have been using vape products since the first (crappy) ecigarettes circa 2003. Is 20 years history in many people not enough time to find whether, or how harmful, it is? Hmm...
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.
@Repugnant_ I think you misread his statement..
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.
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 same i also quit both by doing as you did been over 7 years now
@@cygneturesounds I smoke the green and eat the cookies cake or chocolate. I don't plan on stopping soon.

This was honestly so informational and very interesting to watch. Thanks for the great video! :)
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.

Thank you for this video... I am a non-smoker and non-vaper.. In time when vaping was only starting to take pace I was exposed to huge amounts of second-hand vape. As a consequence, I've developed an issue in my olfactory system where I couldn't get rid of the vape smell.. Even in the night it prevented me from sleep - it smelled like rotten fruit mixed with burnt rubber and chocolate. At the same time I felt nausea and instant headache (i often felt like someone hit me on the head with something). The doctors couldn't help me but they put me on a special register for research (apparently they need about 10 years to be able to find out what is happening). As a consequence I lost my business (aromatherapy) as I couldn't rely on my nose any more. Strangely enough, getting COVID in 2020 has greatly improved my olfactory system. It seems that the COVID symptom, smell of rotten onions and garlic, has cured the other one. However, nowadays when I get even a slight whiff of vape I get instant nausea, headache and any strong smell (perfume, stink, etc., and vape) stays in my nose from few hours up to a few days, but not as strong as it was initially. I'm happy to have come across this video and you explained some things that make sense to me.
My brother died from inhaling second-hand vape. It smelled like citrus and melon, though. I went to the hospital with the exact symptoms you described, and my brother stayed behind and died. He got very weak and couldn't move. He refused to get treatment or go to the hospital. He didn't tell anyone of his condition. I even called the police and he still refused to go. Vaping is for retards.
I understand completely. For me it was the exact same, except it was cigarette smoke. Go to the house of a smoker and my whole breathing passage was infused and I couldn't sleep because the stink felt like I was suffocating and I began to panic. You can clean it off of your outside, but there is nothing that removes it from inside your nose. It stays for hours!
Very complete, useful and balanced analysis. Thank you friend. I wish you well!
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've mention them to my brother, he's only 22 and he's got that same gross cough even blood sometimes.
Bro I know u didn't say you and your family is scared of a cough
@@popdeadshot7756 the cough deadset sounds like they're dying, waking up to it is honestly scary.
for sure, im happy to hear that.
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.
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.

That was a good video. I really appreciate your objectivity concerning the topic of vaping.
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
except he isnt talking about vaping. he is talking about illicit THC use.
Except he is completely disingenuous.
Except, he did not give his opinion, only related facts.
@@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.
@@dellamaybe where’d you hear this from? From what I’ve read, it is an unregulated industry that needs regulation
I’ve been vaping for 10 years. I’ll donate my body when I’m done with it.
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 ?🤔
Vaping was the only thing that helped me to quit smoking after 20 years. Went from smoking a lot, to vaping, to where I eventually forgot to vape and stopped altogether. Stupidly, I picked up the habit again after 3 years stopping and am going to start vaping again so I can get on my path to quitting completely. Great video and thanks for making this.
I quit shitting my pants when I was 2
it was the vitamin E that was used by idiots to thin cannabis extract so that it could be used in cartridges... not found in nicotine fluids or dried cannabis or cannabis waxes, butters or shatter extractions
Love the visuals. Definitely helps learning
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 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 honestly thought when I found this channel that I would find seeing cadavers disturbing to me but strangely enough I don't feel any of that but I do feel massive intrigue into how we as humans work from seeing them and having the anatomy explained

@@joaoferreira30000😂😂😂 It really is fascinating though. I loved anatomy classes!
I switched from smoking cigs to hand rolling my own & now I vape. The problem is when I used to roll my own it took time to roll them & helped me to cut down in that way. So I then switched to vaping in the belief I was “stopping” smoking. I’ve now realised vaping is too easy to just pick my vape up & puff away. I’ve since realised my nicotine intake has rocketed in comparison to hand rolling my own. So now it’s Operation quit vaping which won’t be easy, but here I go!.
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!
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"
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.

Both my sister and I have been cigarette smokers for 10 years, I`m 28, she`s 27. I smoked about 12-13 cigs a day, and for her it`s about a pack of 20.
I tried patches twice, gave me really bad vivid dreams, I kept waking up in the morning not rested at all, having lived all these adventures in my dreams. Tried gum, it tasted disgusting and switched back to smoking cigs.
There really is a tactile component to smoking, in addition to the nicotine addiction. I really felt like it was impossible to stop. I managed to stop for 8 months a year and a half ago, then eventually, I was bored with my life, it was not going well at work, to the point where it became very stressful, and I went back to smoking cigarettes.
Just switched to vaping last week, and I already feel better. Just to know that I won't smell like shit to non smokers anymore, that I won't have to go out in the freezing canadian winter to smoke, that my teeth won`t become more and more yellow over the years, that my chances of cancer radically drop from vaping instead of smoking, all of that makes me feel very good.
After a week of vaping, both my nostrils are clear most of the time, which was not the case with cigarettes. I grind my teeth much, much less, and whenever I smell cigarettes smoke I find it disgusting, which was not the case before (all these toxic chemicals now have very distinct smell to me). I taste and smell everything else better too. I do smoke the thing a lot more than I used to smoke cigs though, maybe because of nicotine absorbtion speed?
I also bought everything separately: Nicotine/VG solution, PG, flavours, so I can do my own mix and gradually decrease the nicotine. If I see there is a problem with the flavours, (ie some studies suggest that mint can have pulegone in very high concentrations that is bad for the lung), then I`ll stop adding them. I might quit flavors all together. DIYing vape juice costs a lot less than buying premade vape juice (2-3 times less, very rough estimate) and 6-7 times less than smoking (again, very rough estimate). My plan is to stop vaping eventually too.
I`m worried for my sister at times, as she does not want to quit smoking at all, even though she has asthma and does 0 exercise. Everytime I tried to stop smoking, she was very keen on making me know that she loved to smoke and when I talked to her about vaping, she said it made her cough and that she was used to smoking and had no interest in switching. She has Bipolar disorder too and it's sometimes hard to follow her thought process. I will definitely try again to talk her into it in the future some day, it would suck if she died of cancer, as I love her very much. We`re still somewhat young, so fingers crossed, some day she`ll stop.
Thank you for reading my novel.
vaping doesnt normally cause cough, but i had a liquid which made me cough, solution switch to other liquid product that doesnt have high throat and lung hit. her throat doesnt match your liquid. buy another liquid product and let her taste it
Friends used to make their own vape juice. It was vegetable glycerin, nicotine, and artificial flavors. Making your own a friend used to make the nicotine only 2 mg. Also, they would only buy artificial flavors that did not have those harmful ingredients. A decade of vaping and no issues. Then two years ago I got hooked on elf bars, lost mary, and all those disposable vapes sold now. What I noticed was the nicotine levels were 25 to 50 mg. And there seemed to be much more concentrated artificial flavors to boost the flavor and sweetness. It was only then that I started to be getting headaches and nausea, and while I didn’t have withdrawals from the homemade vape, I was having massive withdrawals from the disposable from the store. Just food for thought or rather vape for thought.
Excellent analogy, you most definitely covered just about everything that anybody who has a question received an answer for it.
Thank you!
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.
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.

I love cigars and pipes as a hobby, and using tobacco-free nicotine pouches (such as Zyn) and vaporizers actually helps a lot with the EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness) from my narcolepsy and OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), nicotine being a central nervous system stimulant that has a far shorter latency getting into the bloodstream due to its delivery methods. Nicotine helps in emergency situations when I either don’t have access to my medications or when I don’t have time to wait for them to kick in (such as when driving or sitting in class or a meeting). I’m not really into THC, so I’ve only tried vaping with THC once and didn’t enjoy the harshness of the vapor from those particular devices. I have smoked cigarettes, but I find them to be more trouble than they’re worth due to the odor and fire hazard - both of which are not problematic in vaping. I find that, in my particular situation, the “gateway” risk of cigarette smoking is very low, but I do appreciate your honest and unbiased evaluation of the risks associated with vaping. Thanks for explaining it in such easy-to-understand terms!
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.

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.

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.
It is interesting that vaping cured people from coughing as much and got them to stop smoking. Vaping for me was worse. I coughed more and kept hacking up flem fron my lungs that i did not do when I smoked actual tobacco. I also found vaping did not give me as good of a hit, and it became a hassle, so I stopped both. On vape, it was way way harder for me to breathe as tobacco.
That is because nobody ever taught you how to vape They simply sowed you a vape. The reason you started to cough and choke when you vaped is because your brain detected moisture and your lungs and tried to save you from drowning and told you to cough it out. Just like when you first started smoking you coughed and choked and your brain tried to save you from the forest fire and told you to cough it out. The difference is when you were young and started to smoke you didn't care if it made you cough You wanted to be part of the cold group so you kept going back for more.
My experience is that if you are a nicotine addict and your choices are vaping or smoking, vape away. When I smoked, patches and lozenges just didn't curb the craving. The only thing that did was vaping. I can also say that the quality of liquids varies dramatically. I've had some that were smooth and easy and tasty and I've had some that just felt nasty and tasted horrible too. I am now an ex-smoker and ex-vaper but there are times I still crave a vape or a cig. Once you quit, you have to stick to it.
I've never smoked or vaped in my entire life and I've never wanted to do it, but I'd like to say that this is a video all people should watch these days. Especially African Americans, the race I'm apart of.
So you are sort of racist......?

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
One of the best videos on youtube, only time I've seen a cadaver in a video
An amazing video!
Thank you very much for your great work!
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.

“Better shouldn’t be the term tho, but rather “Less dangerous”
@@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.
@@lariwoo Nicotine ain't the thing that kills you.
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
Thank you!! I started smoking at the age of 16, and smoked up to a pack of heavy cigarettes until the age of about 18, which is when I got the classic smoker's cough that wouldn't go away for months and doctors couldn't really do anything about it. I tried to quit, but that was very hard, and this is about the time that those Iqos things became available around europe (they're still tobacco products, but they heat the tobacco instead of burning it, so the smoke is less irritating). I switched to iqos at 18, and the cough went away for about 2 years, and then at age 20 it came back again. I wanted to switch again, so that's when I discovered vaping, where it became more popular. Made the switch, and the cough went away once again. I'm now 22, still vaping and still no cough (which is kind of the thing by which I measure my health status with these things) but I'm kind of sick of spending so much money on my nicotine addiction. Right now, for me the biggest problem with vapes is that I can't track that well how much nicotine I'm ingesting, so that I could maybe switch to a nicotine patch and tweak it down. Since I only take like 1 or 2 puffs each time, and since me and my boyfriend share vapes, it's not like I can count the amount of nicotine used up by only me. I'm now wondering what the next steps are, since I'm not from the US, and there's a bit of a stigma on getting medical help with quitting smoking here (for example,my psychiatrist encouraged me about quitting when I asked, but said that this wasn't one of her specializations).
But your video kind of calmed down my anxiety about "still vaping", because in my mind I thought that is was pretty much just as bad as cigarette smoking and "oh my god I'm going to get cancer if I don't quit this second". Now I do see the path I was on, and that I actually did do something good for myself, in comparison to me age 16, and I probably should be proud of that. I have a really strong physical dependance in comparison to "just wanting to put something in my mouth", so the fear and desire to stop alone aren't that productive; I can literally forget to vape and not even think about it, and I will notice that I haven't vaped because I become actually ticked off, aggressive, emotional and short-tempered, and that's kind of why I think nicotine patches should help.
In any case, this video brought up my motivation to continue trying to find ways to replace, replace, replace until I'm finally off nicotine. Really don't want to smoke anything anymore since a relative of mine was diagnosed with cancer, so thank you for reminding me that what i'm doing right now isn't ideal, but is still better than what i was doing before.

@@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.
@@Ijusthopeitsquick You are 100% correct sir!!
Enjoy ALL your videos. Have you done a video about what happens during marijauna smoking similar to this vaping video? Trying to help my 22 year old niece understand what she is doing to herself. She does both, vaping and weed smoking. Keep up the great work and thank you!
It would be intriguing to delve further into the substantial links between EVALI and gastrointestinal issues (up to 80% (?) as mentioned in Min 05.15). It's worth noting that Traditional Chinese Medicine provides a fascinating perspective on this topic, highlighting a complex interplay between the Lung, identified as a YIN organ, and the Large Intestine, recognized as a YANG organ within the metal phase. Perhaps this perspective could stimulate some thought-provoking discussion.

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
@@robopig Are you a simpleton? Addiction is what makes people smoke for 40 years.

@@KezanzatheGreat I never said vaping was 100% safe
I'm so thankful for you and this information.
I really appreciate it and will use the information to be more motivated to quit vaping.
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.
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.
Great Video and even better presentation❗️ I just quit smoking 1 month ago and I currently vape 💨 I am trying to stop that too. Hopefully I’ll be done with this soon enough.
Thank you very much for this information.
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 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!
More power to you 👏🏻✊
Good stuff man!!
Kickass man!
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
Thank you this video was very helpful
Thank you for doing this.
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
thanks for sharing mate
Sorry but I cba to read all that
Wtf you manage to write that sentences
Wally.s jajajaaja crazy stuff your fault for smoking 3 packs a day vape is worst but anything that you do in excess will fuck your live same vapin
I do agree I'm trying to quit by vaping also
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.
Stop vaping. Stop even cooking with oil. I am a former asthmatic. NO meds for 20 years. I do yardwork and mow lawns.
