00:00My concern as a GP is how widely available vapes are, specifically for children. I think
00:06they have a really good role in helping with people that are usually smoking cigarettes.
00:11Vapes are preferred. However, with all of the vapes that are readily available for children,
00:17I'm seeing children as young as 12 that are using vapes, it comes as sort of a step in
00:21the right direction to really controlling how easily available they are. One concern
00:26is that if people don't have access to these single-use vapes, are they going to turn to
00:31the reusable vapes? Are they going to turn to cigarettes instead, which are worse in my opinion?
00:38I think only time will tell if it's going to help from that perspective.
00:43I do think vapes have a role in helping people to come off cigarettes, which are significantly
00:49more harmful from a health perspective. But I am also concerned about the availability
00:56of vapes and the nature of vapes for our children and youth.
