00:00It's very much like cigarettes in the 80s. It's everywhere. You see it everywhere.
00:04You see it on buses, you see it in cinema, you see it on the street, you see it on
00:07shops, like look around.
00:09Vapes all over there. But to be honest, I think it's up to you whether you do or not.
00:13As long as you're the right age to do it, go ahead.
00:17I feel like it's very marketed towards younger people with the bright colours, the interesting flavours.
00:22Like just everything, it's really marketed towards younger people.
00:25And it can have negative effects in the future since we don't really know what the long-term effects of
00:30them are.
00:30I think vapes should only be used for medical purposes in order for people to generally stop smoking and wean
00:36them off their nicotine addiction.
00:39I think anything else, they should be banned.
00:42There should never have started vapes in those ways.
00:44There should never have flavoured them. It was like them pop alcohol drinks, you know, in the 90s, the 20s,
00:53beginning of the century.
00:54The alcohol pumps and that's just ridiculous because it just appeals to the wrong people.
01:02Well, I personally just think vaping is bad in general.
01:05You wouldn't support it and they don't support being sold to younger children.
01:11Without a shadow of a doubt, they are aimed at young people, you know, as a gateway into smoking.
01:18I think, I think they should ban them full stop.
01:20Ban them full stop.
01:21Yeah.
01:22Yeah.
01:23With like all these bold flavours and colours and stuff, they're appealing around like,
01:27Oh, what's that? What's this? What? I want to try that. You know what I mean?
01:29So, let's just say that you, let's figure out what they should be using right now.
01:30Thanks.
01:30Woo.
