1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: When you study in the medical journals found more than

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: half of vape juices have been labeled with the wrong

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: concentration of nicotine, but not in the way that you

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: would think. It's with less nicotine than advertised, not more.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: They reckon this is a bad thing because it could

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: mean that vapors vape more often or even revert to smoking.

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: Cheryl Robinson is co founder of Vape Free Kids with

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Me This Morning.

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: Hey, Cheryl, good morning, Ryan.

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Good to have you on the show. I thought this

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: was surprising because you would think that they would load

12
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: it with more nicotine so that you are more addicted.

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think they've probably got a lot of money

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: to find out.

15
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: What works better to addict people.

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: It's no surprise or no secret that we don't trust

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: a lot of what this industry get up to. But

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: it's very worrying to think that.

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: There are irregularities on the labeling of their products and

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: when what is actually contained in them, whether that's nicotine

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: level or other chemicals that aren't stated, it's worrying.

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Do you think they're doing it on purpose? Do you

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: think that they're purposely under cooking what the nicotine level

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: is so that people will do it more often, therefore

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: buy more product and also you know, get more addicted.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: Well, I'm no expert on how the intricacies of how

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: nicotine levels impact a person's addiction level, but what I

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: have learned over the last few years that this industry

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: don't do anything by accident. Everything they do is very intentional.

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: And you know, we've we're neutral when it comes to

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: adults of vaping, and it's it's hard. If this has

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: been touted as a quit smoking tool, it makes it

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: a bit difficult for those who are using it as

34
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: such to be able to monitor their intake, the nicotine

35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: intake and use it effectively as a quick smoking tool.

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: If they can't be confident there what is on the

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: package is what they're actually getting. It's quite a precise,

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: a precise thing to try and do to monitor your

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: intake to give up an addiction. And even more worryingly

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: for us, as children are our main concern here is

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: there is no funded support for quitting vaping for use,

42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: and so there's families out there going it alone. And

43
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: that's hard enough without not being able to have confidence

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: on how much nicotina is in the product that you're

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: using to try and wean your child off.

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, because normally you kind of need to know what

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: your dose is before you can start to taper your

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: way off it. And if you don't know what your

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: doses and that becomes very difficult. Cheryl, I appreciate your
