1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Good news on vaping. Big study thirty year ten students. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: Daily vaping's gone from eight point seven to seven point 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: one percent. Regular vaping fell from fourteen percent down to 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: eleven which is almost half since its peak by the way, 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. So it seems all good news. 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: Robert beagle Hole is the ash chair and is with us. 7 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning to you mine. 8 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: With these numbers, do you reckon the tide has turned? 9 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 2: I think this is a very good news story, Mike, 10 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: and the tide is turning. Definitely, use smoking one percent 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 2: and precedent lowest in the world. We are raising a 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: smoke free generation. Use vaping on the way down. Good 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: news story. We're getting on top of it. 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: On vaping, can you separate the groups out, in other words, 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: the young experiment to who may or may not carry 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: on with it, versus the cessation crowd who use it 17 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: for something completely different. 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the seven percent is the daily vapors. These 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: are the people who clearly have some dependence too high, 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: and we need to do more. There are Another group 21 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: of experiment is about four percent. So overall were about 22 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: eleven percent to vape at least once a month. But 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: the less regular, the less the non dailies. They are 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: declining dramatically as well. 25 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: What are you reckons leading to them? They try it 26 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: that I like it. 27 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of couple of things. 28 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: I think the regulations that have slowly come into place 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: are having an effect. Mine. Before we put the regulations 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: in place, before the laws were passed, vaping took off. 31 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,919 Speaker 2: We were slow to act. Now they've come into place, 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: both from the last government and increasingly from this government. 33 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: I think we're getting on top of it. I'm also 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: told I don't know how to verify this, that vaping 35 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: is becoming less cool amongst some groups. 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: Do you think that's a long term thing. Do you 37 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: think eventually will be for all intentsive purposes smoke free. 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: I think will be smoke free for sure, and the 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: youth will also not be vaping nicotine products. On to 40 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: a winner. We're leading the world, there's no question, all right. 41 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: Robert, appreciate it.
