00:00This is really the first time we've had research showing just how common that dependence is in teenagers.
00:07So signs of dependence or addiction, we use dependence often as a medical term,
00:12include things like looking for some source of nicotine when you first wake up,
00:17feeling like you might have trouble getting through a period of the day without it,
00:20intense feelings of cravings or perhaps trying to cut back and not being able to.
00:24The tricky things about nicotine these days is it's not sort of behind the back of the school shed,
00:29you know, trying to conceal the aroma like it was perhaps back in our day.
00:33Instead, use of nicotine is happening in plain sight.
00:36So lots of smokeless products.
00:38So that includes pouches which are slipped up under the gum, upper decky is the term for parking something up there
00:45that actually will allow nicotine to be absorbed silently, quietly over the day in a classroom, for example.
00:50And lots of vapes are also without vapor or low vapor.
00:53So sort of smokeless.
00:54So lots of this is easily hidden.
00:56And that often is the type of product that a young person who might be becoming dependent is using
01:01because they just can't manage to get through the day without it.
01:04So let's talk about it.
01:05So let's talk about it.
01:06So let's talk about it.
