  1. I quit smoking after over 45 years due to vaping.. What is found in vape is VERY low levels of what was mentioned.. This is a scare tactic that keeps many away from vaping thinking that smoking is safer! This is totally wrong! The UK has proven that vaping is 95% safer than smoking! Teens will do whatever they are told not to do.. I know I did just that! I'd rather see teens try vaping than smoking any day if they must try anything!

  2. Im from Argentina, im a heavy smoker and i succesfully managed to stop smoking for a while thanks to vaping as a replacement. I say for a while becouse i couldnt get more nicotine liquid since its ILLEGAL so i switched back to tobacco. The goverment says they want to stop people from smoking while at the same time making illegal the best method of leaving the cigarrette… why? well becouse they are either imcopetent or they love the insane amount of drug money they get via heavily taxed tobacco. Either way this sucks and i would love for these videos to focus more in how vaping its an excellent cure/alternative for cigarrette addiction.

  3. Hey I’m a fan of y’all’s show and I’ve never vaped before. But it just seemed to me like you might have been showing your bias in this episode. It sounded like you strongly promote an abstinence only position. On the under tone though it seems like the common suspicion is correct that vaping isn’t as bad as smoking. Just an small observation. I still love the show and will continue to be a fan.

  4. I'm a non-smoker in Quebec (Canada), and I remember the flavoured cigarettes fad really picked up but suddenly disappeared – the huge uptick in teens' smoking (which was remarkable for Quebec, it's very present here everywhere) led the gov't to outlaw any flavourings "other than tobacco." The 2015 amendments to the Tobacco Control Act include that every law that applies to tobacco and cigarettes applies to vaping and e-cigs (except flavourings, for now). So no vaping or smoking indoors, in vehicles with somebody underage, near public entrances or windows, or even restaurant terraces (the tables outside).
    Buying any tobacco products under 18 is illegal, but only now is it actually illegal to buy them for somebody underage! That might actually make a difference in reducing underage smoking, *finally*, since until now they could just get them from their parents. (I kid you not, that's often a "cultural" thing, like a beer at a family BBQ right of passage.)

  5. If you look up how much you die from secondhand smoke it's a big number I don't want that to happen why you don't want that to stop turn the stuff is bad I don't see it for myself it is pretty bad or we just

  6. FDA is high download things from this if they lose out a lot of money that means they can't pay the doctors they can't pay medical researchers and can't pay Sciences to do the research so they make up any story about

  7. They just the people to quit smoking if they do that they don't tax us on these things then make up any story to make you believe all the stuff it's bad just quite a doing that it's too popular and they don't have no control over it it don't matter if it heats up and make poison was you know why the FDA through these two things are safe purple glycol vegetable glycerin is proven by the FDA safe so all those reading research

  8. I'm from Canada and we have to be 18 to buy e-juice with nicotine, but there's this weird glitch in the law that I don't fully understand and it's the reason the only e-juice outlet in my small town can only carry nicotine free e-juice. I'm also 29 and a smoker/vaper AKA indecisive quitter. I understand how vaping helps alot of people quit and it's popularity in my area makes it by far the most accessable quitting aid. I never did understand why non-smokers would start vaping. THC e-juice isn't available in my area but I'm hoping with legalization in july it will be soon.

  9. I live in WA. I think it should be up to individual choice. I tried it. I didn't care for it. If I want to smoke something, the little I smoke I might as well smoke the real thing.

  10. Well did you know the oxygen that we breathe has toxins in it that is bad for us for instance when you're filling up your car you smell gasoline and that kills your brain cells that's toxic to humans or to any biological being so everything is toxic and that's cool

  11. Sounds like the tobaco companies hating . Just like taxies vs. Uber. In both cases somebody came up with a better product , and the other is no longer able to dominate .

  12. You have great potential man! Not that you asked, but imo if you sped up the delivery, it would really help!

    Keep up the good work👍🏼

  13. I really wish you noted just how much less exposure to toxic elements that former smokers get from vaping than from traditional cigarettes. In many cases it's as low at 1/400th or even 1/1000th. The British health governments found that vaping is about 95% less toxic than combustible cigarettes. There WAS a study that found elevated amounts of cadmium and chromium, but if you read the study you'll find that they used only 1 liter per minute airflow in their tests. Considering that a normal breathing rate is 6 liters per minute, you can assume that they were torching their coils and ramping up the heat much higher than what any vape user would do. It was misleading at best. Other than that, thanks for not being alarmist like a lot of other publications like to do.

  14. How do you make a 6 minute video on vaping and not even MENTION smoking cessation? Most vapers are former smokers, not future ones. If PBS can't make an informative video without peppering in fear mongering and derisive opinions that boarder on bullying, I have little faith that anyone can.

  15. You need to do real research before posting something like this. There are several decade long studies done in Europe regarding vaping and their effects on the body. Vaping has been found to be 95% safer than smoking. Also, studies in Europe have found that vaping isn't a gateway to smoking among teens. Vaping helped me stop smoking over 2 years ago and I did a lot of research before I started vaping. Please do further research of studies outside of the US that are independent and not funded by the tobacco companies in order to make vaping look like it's bad for you.

  16. Serious WTF the point of calling without nicotine? I'm at the point I wish I never started smoking but why would you want to inhale posion for no benefit what so ever (the reason I want to quit the cost, health & money, way out weigh the miniscule benefits nicotine buzz that don't even feel)

  17. Normalization of vaping is largely from more and more people who are quitting smoking cigarettes. I know it's hilarious to clown on vaping but it's helping many people over 50 stop the life long habit (smoking cigarettes) that has been seriously killing them.

  18. I successfully quit smoking and then vaping by turning down my nicotine over a 6 month time span. I quit smoking a pack a day by going to 3mg nicotine. Then I went from 3mg to 1.5, and then zero. I vaped 0 for 2months and then dropped vaping completely.

  19. I've been brought here by IT'S OKAY TO BE SMART and I both enjoy the discovery and regret a all lot tha "funny" side to the show. It will prevent me to watch it.

  20. Not once while vaping did I ever think it looks cool. The clouds are kinda neat, but I think it looks ridiculous. I do it because nicotine got it's hooks in me early on and cigarettes are just really gross and more expensive.

    I keep telling me myself this is the last bottle of e-juice I'll buy, but quitting vaping is proving to be more difficult than quitting cigarettes was. There just aren't the same degree of rewards that quitting tobacco had. My clothes don't stink, I don't have the same cough, I can vape in my house, etc.

  21. to be completely honest, I found it difficult to believe that PBS could be mostly politically neutral when I heard about this channel, but after watching a few videos, it seems legit. Y'all really need to tone down the lame animation jokes though, its really the new "laugh track" for youtube videos. If you want to remain relevant, tone down the meme usage every 7 seconds. Love the videos.

  22. I wish you had given more airtime to UK studies. I really do think it's entirely safe to say that vaping is *healthier than smoking*. Also, while it's true that the FDA did not regulate e-liquid until 2016:

    1. The vaping community is pretty damn good at self-regulating. Most juice brands, especially US-based juice brands, have always use 3 to 4(, 5, or 6) ingredients: vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine, and/or flavorings (that accounts for the 4-6 other ingredients). Diacetyl was a flavoring in a minority of e-liquids, but that was voluntarily removed from, I think, all e-liquid a few years ago.

    2. These regulations are geared up to destroy the vaping industry as we know it, because the cut-off date in the regulations is February 15, 2007. Because there are zero PMTAs for any vaping product at all (and PMTAs are far more expensive than most US-based e-cig manufacturers can afford unless they're part of Big Tobacco, which, BTW, most of the vaping industry is separate from), all vaping products that entered the market after February 15, 2007 will be taken off the shelves once the FDA decides to enforce its regulations. For the record, that will be quite literally all vaping products on the market except for, basically, disposable cigalikes. So there would be no vaping industry to speak of after that, except as controlled by big tobacco (and, need I remind y'all… the whole point of vaping is to quit cigarettes in the first place). There is an amendment called the Cole-Bishop Memo which would change that date to August 8, 2016, which would be much better for the industry… but it didn't pass, which is, frankly, BS. Hopefully, we'll have another chance at the next session of Congress.

    I quite recently ended my nicotine addiction entirely thanks to electronic cigarettes. I starting vaping back in 2014 after being a 2.5-pack-a-day smoker. One of the best things about vaping is the ability to control the amount of nicotine you inhale. I found an e-liquid manufacturer I trusted, and started with a high level of nicotine that I could handle. Then I slowly tapered off. Yes, it took four years, but now I'm off nicotine entirely, and I don't even crave it anymore. And that is genuinely thanks to electronic cigarettes.

    The UK has said that vaping is 95% healthier than smoking. Cancer Research UK recommends that smokers switch to vaping. In fact, the UK treats electronic cigarettes as medical smoking cessation devices, and they champion it for that reason. Why do we in the US have to treat vaping as the enemy when nearly every other country recognizes it for what it is: a harm reduction device that can easily help smokers… you know… quit smoking? Obviously non-smokers shouldn't vape, but it's obviously better for smokers to vape.

    I'm not against regulation. I strongly think regulation is a good thing, and I am someone who thinks kids should not have access to vaping (even nicotine-/THC-free vaping). But the current FDA regulations are basically the death-knell for the industry if they're enforced.

    You're a part of PBS Studios, right? See if you can get your hands on the 2016 episode of BBC Horizon about Electronic Cigarettes ("E-Cigarettes: Miracle or Menace?"). It should give you some insight into how the UK treats them, and is, I think, the single most balanced view of them I've ever seen (the conclusion: "smokers should switch, non-smokers should stay away"). I really hope you'll give this topic a second look. This video may be the most balanced take on vaping I've seen from a US perspective yet (and that's good!), but… you still missed some rather important information.

  23. In Hungary vaping is treated legally the same way as smoking, the only difference is that you can buy batteries and atomizers outside of tobacco shops, but our government made sure that both buying and selling them would be much more expensive than tobacco products, not to mention that they made the taxes on e-liquid containing nicotine much higher than the taxes on tobacco. I'm guessing there was a decrease in cigarette sales when vaping started to gain popularity and the tobacco industry wasn't happy about it. I know a lot of people who switch to vaping from smoking but they're smoking again because of the prices.
