It's just a cloud chaser? Is that everything 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: called smokers? Dude? I looked up terminology vape terminology cloud 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: chaser really because I wanted to punish myself, and that's 19 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: apparently I don't know. That's what this website says. That 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: sounds like the kind of thing somebody who wears like 21 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: a flannel shirt tight around their waist would call somebody 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: who vapes. Yeah, oh no, these are vapors who you know, 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: puff fat clouds, you know, seeing those people with just 24 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: ridiculous amounts of smoke or not even smoke. Whatever it is, 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: whatever it is, is the right the right thing to say, 26 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: chuck because no one's quite sure. So we're talking electronic 27 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: cigarettes e cigarettes. If you go to the FDA website, 28 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: they're called electronic nicotine delivery systems. They don't people don't 29 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: call them e cigarettes anymore, do they or do they? 30 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I felt so square researching this because 31 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: it's such an ever of involving thing. You have to 32 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: be like right in the thick of it to know. 33 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: I saw the siggs a lot still today. Well by 34 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: the media, Yeah, I bet I think they just call 35 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: it vaping, right, Okay, so vapes babies, right? Um? The 36 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: you see it more and more these days the kids, 37 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: which is kind of a problem. The kids seem to 38 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: be enjoying this. Although I can't say anything because I 39 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: was thinking about this, I'm like, gosh, teenagers are trying 40 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: this and I was, like I was fourteen when I 41 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: started smoking tobacco like every day for twenty years, like 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: probably Marlboro Reds or something. Indeed, although when you're that 43 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: young and you ride up on your bike to the 44 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: convenience story to buy cigarettes, you just kind of you'll 45 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: take whatever you can get. Um, but it does it 46 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: strikes me as absolutely nuts when now that I don't 47 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: smoke anymore, the idea of like, teenager are smoking it's 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: just weird. Um. But some people kind of have this 49 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: idea that it's wrong headed to compare et siggs or 50 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: vapes who knows what they're called, with our SIGs with 51 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: with regular SIGs or non vape SIGs, right, um, And 52 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: that you could make a case that it's possible it's 53 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: fine that teenagers are doing this. Really, some might say, 54 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: or at the very least they might say, if you 55 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: if I had to choose a teenager smoking a cigarette 56 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: or tobacco, I would always choose the East cigarette. Yeah. 57 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the main points that 58 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: we're going to hammer home throughout this whole thing, is 59 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: that it is still sort of the wild, wild West, 60 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: And that's one of the big issues is that no 61 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: one really knows the deal a lot of times with 62 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: what's in here, how it's reacting in the body, what 63 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: the manufacturers, I mean, it's all just all just kind 64 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: of guessing right now for sure, for a couple of reasons. 65 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: One they're so new. But two here in the United States, 66 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't until two thousand and sixteen that the f 67 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: d A gained regulatory control over these things. Before it 68 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: was like they could put anything into the e juice 69 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: who knows what it's actually called, um, that you're smoking, 70 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: and you would have no idea what's in there there 71 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: There was no regulation whatsoever until two thousand and sixteen. 72 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, it is like you said, the wild blah West. 73 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: Still they're still figuring this out. And depending on what 74 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: country you're in. Um, they're either a great way to 75 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: to quit smoking tobacco or to smoke instead of smoking tobacco, 76 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: or they're just as bad as cigarettes, if not worse 77 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: in some respects. Or they're a gateway to a kid 78 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: who may not have even started smoking cigarettes but tried 79 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: this because it tastes like peaches and cream, right, and 80 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: then they get hooked on the nicotine. Remember, I remember, 81 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: I remember when Joe Cammell came out in the nineties 82 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: and they were like, Uh, you can't have this cartoon 83 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: camel hawking cigarettes because you're clearly targeting kids. Well, at 84 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: least he never had peaches and cream flavor, which, by 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: the way, I was looking at um ingredients in tobacco 86 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: because now in the United States, cigarette companies have to 87 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: list the ingredients on their on their websites, at least 88 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: because that's what all smokers do is go to the 89 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: website to see what they're smoking. Let me see, um 90 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: high fruit toast corns are up is in cigarettes. That 91 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. It doesn't if you stop and think 92 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: about it. But if you stop one more time to 93 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: think about you're like, that stuff is everywhere. So yeah, 94 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: they were invented by a pharmacist in China name Han Lick, 95 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: who I believe his father died of lung cancer from smoking, 96 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know if that was the impetus to 97 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: create this or not, but he did pat in the 98 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: device in two thousand three, and as soon as I 99 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: read that, I was like, man, I bet this guy 100 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: is a gazillionaire. Do you want to hear something very surprising? 101 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: He is now the first person to patent in East cigarette. Well, 102 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: and he's all he also, I mean, I'm not sure 103 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: how much is net worth is, but he's still currently 104 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: kind of battling for rights to make money and stuff West. So, 105 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: back in the sixties, the mid sixties, a man named 106 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: Herbert A. Gilbert, which is that's a nineteen sixties inventor's 107 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: name if I've ever heard one. Yeah, he patented something 108 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: that is basically an East cigarette. And then apparently even 109 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: further back than that, in the nwenties, someone patented vaporizer penon, 110 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: not necessarily for cigarette, but they were human spirit papers. 111 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: It's my grandmother's soul. Uh Uh, here's the deal. We 112 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: haven't even so worded it as yet. Um. I figured 113 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: everyone knows because it seems to be their ubiquitous these days. 114 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: But um, an East cigarette is it's a it's a 115 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: battery powered device usually looks sometimes it can look like 116 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: a cigarette that even lights up on the end, but 117 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of those anymore. No, it's 118 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: kind of an early thing, I think so, and um 119 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: just to make you feel more like you were smoking. 120 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: But now they just look like a little pins with 121 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: a cartridge and it converts that liquid nicotine into a 122 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: vapor that you inhale, so you're not actually burning nicotine. 123 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: There's no smoke, even though it looks like smoke. That's 124 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: I don't even know what you call it, vaporation, depending 125 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: depending on what's in the stuff that you're you're inhaling 126 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: or vaporizing fat clouds, fat clouds, right, Um, but yeah, 127 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: that's it. You you hit the nail on the head, 128 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: it's combustion isn't involved. Right, There's little coils in there 129 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: that get heated up by the battery, bring the vapor 130 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: or the liquid up to its boiling point, converting it 131 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: to vapor, and then that's what you inhale. And since 132 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: there's no combustion, uh, you're not getting all the extra 133 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: stuff that you get when you smoke to pacco like tar. Well, 134 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: there is no tobacco in here. There isn't. And that's 135 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: a really big point that even in articles about the 136 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: difference between tobacco and the cigarettes they call this stuff 137 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: interchangeably like tobacco. These are not tobacco. Tobacco is a 138 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: plant that contains nicotine that we have learned over the 139 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: centuries to smoke as a delivery system. Yeah, as a 140 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: delivery system for that nicotine. The problem is is there's 141 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff, bad stuff that come from 142 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: inhaling that tobacco. It's not necessarily the nicotine itself, although 143 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: it is a highly addictive drug when inhaled. The point 144 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: of these cigarettes, at least one of the points is 145 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: is that you can still get that nicotine without the tobacco. 146 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: It's separated from the tobacco, putting this other solution and 147 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: that you heat up without combustion and inhale and then 148 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: birds just kind of chirp around your head and you're 149 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: suddenly dressed like snow white, and you say, what was 150 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: in the juice? Or is it? And we'll talk about 151 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: all this. This is I'm just teasing ahead, But is it? 152 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: Is nicotine even bad for you if you're not burning 153 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: it from tobacco? Is nicotine itself? Because that one, dude, 154 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: I think from the seventies and one of these articles 155 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,479 Speaker 1: you said said, you know people people come for nicotine, 156 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: but they die from tar. Yeah. Michael Russell, he was 157 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: a South African scientist who basically was the guy who 158 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: changed the way we viewed cigarettes. Like up to that point, 159 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: it was a psychological habit smoking was and he said no, actually, 160 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: we're addicted to nicotine. Um, And it's a it's a 161 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: physiological addiction. Yes, So that you've heard that like um, 162 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: and that came from there's this really great article, if 163 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: not a little one sided um in Rolling Stone from 164 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen by David Ams Dinton. It's a tough 165 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: one to say, um, but he talked about that guy, right, 166 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: and that guy out of that whole thing, this big 167 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: push to get people who quit smoking then focused on 168 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: nicotine as an addictive drug, and you had to smoke 169 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: tobacco to get your addicted drug, and the tobacco is 170 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: going to kill you, So just quit smoking altogether. Apparently 171 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: nicotine is not addictive unless you inhale it. So whether 172 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: you're inhaling it in water, vapor, or tobacco, yes, it 173 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: is an addictive drug. Right. So back to the device itself. 174 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: There are many many kinds you can get out there. 175 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: Some of them, um, are just sort of long and thin, 176 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: like a like a ballpoint pen, and there's no button 177 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: or device. Just simply inhaling it, putting your mouth on 178 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: the tip and inhaling it will activate it. Other ones 179 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: have little buttons on them that you push to activate 180 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: the system that consists of three parts, which is the 181 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: rechargeable battery. UM. And when you think of a rechargeable 182 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: with the battery, you think of a little tiny thing 183 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: that's the main body of these pins, is the battery. 184 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: Then you have a little cartridge or the vaporization chamber. No, no, sorry, 185 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: there's different things. Vaporization chambers where the party takes place, 186 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: and in the cartridges where the liquid is stored. So 187 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: the the vaporization chamber has the atomizer in it, and 188 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: that's the thing that has the heating coils that heat 189 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: up the juice. Yeah, the heating coils, which I just 190 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: saw this today. They might be a problem as well. 191 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: I saw that as well, and that's part of the 192 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: wild Wild West thing. They're testing, like the juice, the joss, 193 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: the jew to see if that's dangerous. But now it 194 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: just said, I just saw a study UM published in 195 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: Environmental Health Perspectives from John's Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public 196 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: Health that said that these coils are burning, These metal 197 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: coils are producing like lead, chromium, manganese, and or nickel. 198 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: That's part of the device itself. That is now being 199 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: heated and mixed with the vapor. Yeah, toxic metals. You 200 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: don't want that stuff in your now, that's the stuff 201 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: in cigarettes that be will want to get rid of, right, 202 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: And part of the problem. I also saw another study 203 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: that found that some of those toxic metals are in 204 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: concentrations as high as cigarettes, if not higher. Yeah, right, um, 205 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: because it can vary, I think, depending on the yes. 206 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: And they found it also in that same study that 207 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: it seemed that the amounts were higher in um frequently 208 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: changed atomizers. So it's today but later today I want oreo. Right, 209 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: And if you're changing out your atomizer, the new head, 210 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: a fresh head seems to leach more toxic chemicals that 211 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: stops after a period of time, not not the cartridge. No, 212 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: not the cartridge, the atomize or with the coils. Right, 213 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: that makes sense. So yeah, so you don't want that stuff. 214 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: Part of the part of the reason you're inhaling nicotine 215 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: is because it delivers it right to your brain basically 216 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: from your lungs. It's a really efficient delivery system. So 217 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: you want to cut down on the additional stuff that's 218 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: being delivered write to your brain like lead, because you 219 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: take a big long pull off e sig. It's got 220 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: a bunch of lead in it. There goes ten I 221 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: Q points see you later. The cartridges. This this liquid 222 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: that's in there um is nicotine and the delivery system 223 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: is usually propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, which I mean 224 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: we'll get to all this. Yeah, we're jumping ahead of ourselves. Yes, 225 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: that's that's what that's made of. Should we take a break, Yeah, 226 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: let's all right, we'll be We're gonna go puff some 227 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: fat clouds. Be back right after this. So is that 228 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: really what some people call all the fat clouds? I've 229 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: seen people make fun of people by saying that. So 230 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: I think it has been said vapors. Uh, they take 231 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: a lot of grief from people. Well, they pushed pushed 232 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: boundaries a lot. Yeah, but the whole culture is kind 233 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: of like ripe for and ridicule I think by people 234 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: who don't do it. Is that fair to say? It 235 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: seems that way like there's got to be a Portlandia 236 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: sketch about like sidewalk vapors, you think. So here's the 237 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: thing with the cartridges though, is not all of them 238 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: even have nicotine sometimes? And I don't get this at all. 239 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't get it. But sometimes people just vape flavor. 240 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: That is stupid. That is a stupid thing to do, 241 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: because consider this, it's bad enough if you're doing this 242 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: to get nicotine, right, you're a drug addict if you're 243 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: doing this to get nicotine. So yeah, you're probably gonna 244 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: get some toxic metals. And that may or may not 245 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: mean a lot to you. It may mean enough for 246 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: you to quit, it may not mean anything to you. 247 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: Just keep on keeping on. But if you're huffing toxic 248 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: medic metals just to get a strawberry flavor, you're a dummy, 249 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: and just stop doing that immediate. Well, but what if 250 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: that is what you do in place of this bad 251 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: smoking habit you had, well, then you should learn more 252 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: about what you're inhaling, because you're probably not you're not 253 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: smoking the nicotine because if you're worried what it's going 254 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: to do to your health, So just stop altogether, go 255 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: get some dumb dumb lollipops, dumb dumb. Well, no, I 256 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: mean that, that's clearly and there are some studies that 257 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: will get too later that pretty recent ones that have 258 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: tested people who smoke and vape because that's sort of 259 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: one of the problems is sometimes people do both because 260 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: they want to get that nicotine hit, but they're at 261 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: a party where you can't smoke or whatever. That's like 262 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario where that you're doing both. Yeah, 263 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: that you're using it to smoke more frequently because you're 264 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: smoking in places where you can't normally smoke Tobacca. So uh, 265 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: like I said, we'll get to that test. But they 266 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: tested people who do both, people who do want and 267 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: people to do none, and of course doing nothing is 268 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: the best case scenario. Yeah, and I want to go 269 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: back a couple of steps. I don't mean to be 270 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: all holier than now. I certainly don't think I'm any 271 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: better than anybody who smokes just because I quit with 272 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: the benefit of hindsight now that I don't smoke. Uh, 273 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: it's tough not to just be like, stop smoking. You're 274 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: gonna thank yourself. I know you want to. There are 275 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: very few smokers out there who are died in the wool. 276 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: Cigarette smokers who are like, man, I love smoking still 277 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: twenty years on, they probably want to quit, which is 278 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: the sad thing. Yeah, So I'm sorry everybody if I 279 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: came off its holder uh, it says in here, and 280 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how accurate this still is, but it 281 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: says the cartridge just last about as long as the 282 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: back of its garettes. I don't know if that's still 283 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: accurate because there are so many different kinds of tanks 284 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: and cartridges you can get these days. I think it 285 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: generally does, though, because they yeah, and they sell them 286 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: at a certain price point, and I think it's comparable, 287 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: depending on where you live, to a pack of cigarettes, 288 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: like a pack of New York twelve dollar cigarettes, I think. 289 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: But that's if you buy the cartridges, use them up, 290 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: and then buy another cartridge. You can also buy a 291 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: vaporizer that has a refillable cartridge that always stays on 292 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: and you just refill it yourself because you're a thrifty person. Yeah, 293 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: that would be like, uh, I guess kind of like 294 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: rolling your own cigarettes. It would be you probably get 295 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: a little more bang for your black there, right, you 296 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: definitely do. But you know, and you look cool, do you? 297 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, you look Europeans. It's a pain though. 298 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: I mean I went through a cigarette rolling phase. But like, 299 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: you want a cigarette right then, man, I gotta wait 300 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: forty five seconds until I get this thing just right now. 301 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: I just ripped the paper and not have to start 302 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: over grows cigarette. Yeah. When I was young and dumb, See, 303 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't a smoker smoker. I would just smoke occasionally, 304 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: which always plucked smokers. Um. And when I did my 305 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: big Europe trip fresh out of college, I just thought 306 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: it was the coolest thing to, you know, roll up 307 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: my drum cigarettes walking around in Paris. Yeah, check me out, frenchees. 308 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: But again, did you have a beret on at least? Um? No, 309 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: I smoked that too. I had it on day one, 310 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: but I smoked it. Um. Alright, So we might as 311 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: well get into some of these um health studies and concerns. Um. 312 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: Like we said over and over, one of the big 313 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: problems is we don't know certainly don't know about long 314 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: term health effects and are just learning about some of 315 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: the short term effects. Well, the thing is is we 316 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: it's too new to know about east cigarettes specifically, but 317 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: from these early tests that are coming back, UM, we 318 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: know a lot about some of the chemicals that are 319 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: showing up in these tests. And some of them are 320 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: like whoa, Nelly, You do not want that in your brain? Um, 321 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 1: there's one in particular. Some of these you can just 322 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: tell from the names of them. There's terrible but um 323 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: a Krylla nitrial. I believe it's a Krylla nit trial. 324 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: It is, uh yeah, I think I nailed it, even 325 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: without even looking at it. It is a very toxic 326 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: poison that's used in the creation of um acrylic fibers, 327 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: I think maybe even some rubber. Um. It's it's a 328 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: it's a plastic it's yeah. Well, the problem is is um. 329 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: It is metabolized in your body into cyanide. So that's 330 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: just one example of some of the stuff they're finding 331 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: in the bloodstream of people who smoke the cigarettes. And 332 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: again it's too soon to say what kind of effects 333 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: these are having, but these chemicals have been documented for 334 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: so many decades now that when they pop up we 335 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: can say basically automatically, that's you shouldn't be doing that. 336 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: And I think part of the big problem is the 337 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: regulatory issues, Like it's finally under the FDA's wing right 338 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 1: as of two thousand and sixteen, but they're still so 339 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: new that they're not even making official statements yet, are 340 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: they or are they? So here's the thing, this is 341 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: this is a very bizarre thing. Chuck there. Um, they 342 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: now regulate these things like tobacco, but it's not tobacco 343 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: in the US. Yes, So if you have if you 344 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: buy a vape pen or vapor cartridge or something like 345 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: that and it has nicotine in it, it's to the 346 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: f d A, you're buying a pack of cigarettes. To 347 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: an East Sig user, that would drive you crazy because 348 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: you might be smoking East cigarettes because you don't smoke tobacco, 349 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: because tobacco is something that's very, very very bad for you. 350 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: Supposedly East cigarettes are a better alternative to that. To 351 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: the FDA, they're the exact same thing, right, And to 352 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: East cigarette, I mean I get their complaint because they 353 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: can say, listen, you can buy nicotine patches and nicotine 354 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: gum and it doesn't have health warnings on there. And 355 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: that's all we're doing is ingesting nicotine. We're not burning tobacco, 356 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: just like so many choose nicotine gum. Isn't burning tobacco. 357 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: So why it's it's because they look like cigarettes and 358 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: you puff fat clouds. Yeah, and that's a that's a 359 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: thing that David Amston says, and this is that that's 360 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: really the big distinction, Like, if you're using it to 361 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: quit smoking, it's the same thing as nicotine gum, and 362 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: you can just go buy that over the counter, right 363 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: with no warnings on the box at all. Um, But 364 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: here there are warnings. It is treated like tobacco. And 365 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: he says it's probably because the cigarettes aren't designed as 366 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: a medical device. They're designed for enjoyment too. They have 367 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: like this dual use, and America has a long history 368 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: of saying, oh, you enjoy this thing, Well, let's try 369 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: and squash that exactly. Yeah, but what's like the big 370 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: deal to them? Though? Really? I think, Okay, so it's 371 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: regulated like tobacco, Like what, it's not keeping them from smoking? 372 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: Oh to E cigarette users, Well yeah, I mean, it 373 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: doesn't prevent them from doing anything. What is it because 374 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: you have to be eighteen or something? I don't know. 375 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: I think there seems to be a bit of a 376 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: culture war going on with um between East cigarette users 377 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: and manufacturers too, and the anti tobacco warriors that were 378 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: very successful. Um, get this, from the sixties to today. 379 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: There was a drop from like I think forty of 380 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: Americans smoked in like nineteen sixty five, eighteen percent smoke 381 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: as of like two thousand, fifteen or sixteen. Pretty amazing. 382 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: It's a great drop in numbers. It's actually not that 383 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: big of a drop because the population kept growing, so 384 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: it was really just an eight million American drop. But 385 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: it shows this social trend of people saying, we don't 386 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: smoke anymore, smoking the losers, right. So um, that was 387 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: the That was the result of years, decades of government 388 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: P S a S and the American Cancer Society and 389 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: the American Heart Association and the Long Association all getting 390 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: together and just pumping drumming it into the heads of 391 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: Americans that smoking is stupid, it's a betrayal to your family, 392 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: it's a waste of money, you're killing yourself, You're you're 393 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: affecting like the insurance industry, you're you're crippling America with 394 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: your stupid habit. And it worked. Now if East cigarettes 395 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: are okay, they have to walk that back some and 396 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: the people who are who are still trying to get 397 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: America to be like totally smoke freeer, like, we're not 398 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: about to do that, but they don't though. That's that's 399 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: that confusion between burning tobacco and ingesting nicotine. Like you 400 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: would come you know, because it's a stigma because it 401 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: looks like a cigarette partially. But also remember that um 402 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: nicotine is most addictive when it's inhaled. When you chew 403 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: it as a gum or get it through a patch, 404 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: it's supposedly not addictive at all. It's only when you 405 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: inhale it that it's addictive. So they're also saying like, 406 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: this is a drug, and people are doing drugs, so 407 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: it should be regulated. But then other people say, well, 408 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: caffeine's a drug, why we regulate that? In Starbucks? Is 409 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: like shut your mouth should be taken another break. All right, 410 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: we'll come back and we'll talk about um. That Rolling 411 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: Stone article in a very interesting study from a few 412 00:24:32,359 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: years ago, right after this, alright, so in that Only 413 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: Stone magazine, there was a very um, big time study 414 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: that came out of Britain in August that they called 415 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: the Landmark Review of the SIGs. And uh they they 416 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: said quote around safer than smoking, which is that's a 417 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: bold statement, it is. And I went and looked today 418 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: to see how much that's changed. They have doubled and 419 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: tripled down on that number. If you go onto the 420 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: the U K's government Health service, the NHS, site, they 421 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: say it's about safer than smoking. Still, I saw somewhere 422 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: and this is like the Royal College of Surgeons saying this. 423 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: So it's very much touted as an alternative tobacco to tobacco. 424 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: It's safer alternative to tobacco. So here's the deal. Though 425 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: it seems like people in this article, even that um 426 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: take issue with the number, say it may not be, 427 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: but it's it is certainly better than burning tar into 428 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: your loans. Well, yeah, then those are the Americans. Though 429 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: the Americans are saying like, we're never gonna say it's safer, 430 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: but apparently most public health people in America say it's 431 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: almost certainly safer than than cigarettes. Like you said, just 432 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: that combustion alone creates some really bad stuff that you're 433 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: not gonna get from vapor, just because there's no combustions, 434 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: just just by that alone would make e cigarettes safer 435 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: than than tobacco. But the question is I think a 436 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: lot of people have this idea that oh, I can 437 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: just totally like vape to my heart's content. It's healthy, 438 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: even like it's like huffing vitamin C or something like that. 439 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to be the case. From recent research. Yeah, 440 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: and it sets to here that um, and this may 441 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: be because of the American propaganda machine, but said of 442 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: smokers believed the Siggs were safer in two thousand ten, 443 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: and just three years later that dropped to Yeah. And 444 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: there was another stat I think, I don't know if 445 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: it was in that or another article, but they said 446 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: that something like a third of former East SIGG smokers 447 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: said they went back to tobacco because they were worried 448 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: about the health dangers of the cigarettes. Now that's a problem, 449 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: and there's a there's the people who are saying, like, no, 450 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: eat Siggs are safer than tobacco. And what you're talking 451 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: about at base are nicotine addicts. So tell this this 452 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: nicotine delivery system over this nicotine delivery system if it's 453 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: even a little healthier, you know. Uh. And and America 454 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: is saying absolutely not, We're not doing that. In our eyes, 455 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: they're one and the same, tobacco and East cigarettes. So 456 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: some people are saying, well, there's blood on your hands, 457 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: the blood of four and eighty thousand Americans who die 458 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: from smoking every year, from smoking tobacco, that's the that's 459 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: the stakes to all this. But nicotine itself and this 460 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: is in that Rolling Stone article too, is super interesting. 461 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: Do we do one of nicotine or just I know 462 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: we did quite a few on smoking, We do one 463 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: on caffeine back in the day. But nicotine is interesting 464 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: in that it is uh apparently if it's not in, 465 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: if it's not smoked, and if you remove it from 466 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: that cigarette, then it's fairly benign as a substance itself, 467 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: although addictive as far as what it does to the body. 468 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: But the weird thing is is that it it doesn't 469 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: do the same thing like it's sort of like this 470 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: little magic and that's why people smoke, probably this little 471 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: magic thing. If you're if you need to feel up 472 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: and your body wants to feel up, a cigarette can 473 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: make you feel up. But if you want to chill 474 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: out and relax, it can also do that. So it 475 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: has some pharmacological um magic yeah to it, which makes 476 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: it useful. But it's also again, as that article is 477 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: pointing out, it's been stigmatized ever since the seventies, and 478 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: that change in paradigm of what smoking is came about 479 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: nicotine got targeted. So let's talk about some of these 480 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: some of the things that have been found because one 481 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: of the one of the big problems also a big 482 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: objection to just allowing um, these cigarettes smoked anywhere, people 483 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: vaping wherever they want, is that when we don't know 484 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: very much about it. But too if we say, okay, 485 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: maybe smoking is not so bad. If you're not actually smoking, 486 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: you're just vaping, maybe that's not such a bad thing. 487 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it is on par with like drinking or coffee 488 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. Um, And teens start to take this up 489 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: and they are Um. The problem is is a lot 490 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: of people say, well, okay, we're turning our teens in 491 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: the nicotine addics. I have a problem with that. But 492 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: what if this whole vaping thing goes away and we've 493 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: got all these teenage nicotine addicts. Do you really think 494 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: they're not going to just start smoking cigarettes after after that, right, 495 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: or just do that anyway? Right? Apparently that's not necessarily happening. 496 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: That teens who are I feel like such an old 497 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: guy saying the word teens. Try saying tweens, tweens really old? Terrible? 498 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: Uh that teens and tweens um that when they are 499 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: trying this, they're trying it. Most of them are deciding 500 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: it's not for them and they're not going on to tobacco. Actually, well, 501 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: you're right, because they did a study. The CDC did 502 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: one that you said tripled in the past year among 503 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: the middle and high school students. But then you poke 504 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: into the study and it doesn't differentiate at all between 505 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: someone who just tried it once right waiting for the 506 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: school bus and a kid who really took it up. 507 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: So there, it's so funny that after depressing that after 508 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: all these years, there's still such bad studies, well bad reporting, 509 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: Well that too. On the studies, I saw that the 510 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: CDC says that the cigarette smoking is down two thousand 511 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: fifteen to two thousand and sixteen. Sixteen percent of teenagers 512 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: had smoked or vaped in the last thirty days in 513 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen. It was down to eleven point 514 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: three percent in two thousand and sixteen. And apparently tobacco 515 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: smoking tobacco is like holding steady at eight percent, but 516 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: like seven percent smoked cigars, which is hilarious. Remember that 517 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: cartoon baby that was like a bank robber who smoked 518 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: cigars On the Bugs Bunny, Yeah, on the Bugs Bunny. 519 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: You know the tweens love that. I did see on 520 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: some weird link researching all this. That very sad kid. 521 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: I think he was like Indonesian. That was the two 522 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: year old smoker. It was it was a follow up, 523 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: he's done't smoke now, um, but then he had a 524 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: lot of weight gain. But it seems like now he's 525 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: doing okay, all right, But it was like I hated 526 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: that people laughed and thought that was funny. Oh it 527 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: was disturbing. It was completely disturbing. Yeah, like a baby's 528 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: like a baby. Yeah, he could barely hold his head 529 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: up and he was smoking. And here we are laughing, 530 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: but not from that. It's laughing at how I said 531 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: baby exactly. Um, so where are the chemicals coming from? Then? 532 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: If they're not smoking tobacco, it's the problem. Well, I 533 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: mean it's some of it is is from the flavoring, right, 534 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: the flavoring, yeah, like that. This is a Harvard study. 535 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: The flavored e siggs contain that. I think that's when 536 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: you said diet diets. That was a different one. Oh 537 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: that's the popcorn flavor popcorn long yeah, butter flavored, and 538 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: that was I mean, we don't we're not saying it 539 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: tastes like that, but it is a chemical used in 540 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: artificial butter and back in the early two thousand's that 541 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: was when he heard the term popcorn popcorn Latin. Well, 542 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: actually they do use as a buttery flavor in um 543 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: in in whenever you have a buttery flavored E sig 544 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: or vape. Right right, So these this what did you 545 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: call it? Diacet Yeah, diacet popcorn long is um Like 546 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: you said, it came from the early two thousands where 547 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: people who worked in microwave popcorn plants were coming down 548 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: with this irreversible scarring of the lungs and a cough 549 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: they couldn't kick. And it was from this molecule from 550 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: inhaling the molecule. Well, it turns out the amount of 551 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: diacet al that was that's found in even cigarettes, let 552 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: alone e cigarettes, is not nearly enough to give you 553 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: popcorn long right, But like you said, it's a bad, 554 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: bad reporting. That doesn't keep someone like our own beloved 555 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: mother Jones Heaven from saying headlines like flavored e s 556 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: eggs maybe worse than nicotine. I saw also that some 557 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: other uh fruity flavors in a recent study on that 558 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: fruity flavors tended to be particularly toxic. Yeah, and um 559 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: I can't remember what the chemical was. And then cinnamon, vanilla, 560 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: and buttery all had um all had bad reactions with 561 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: white blood cells that they think might promote long tissue 562 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: damage in the long run. It just seems so gross 563 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: to me. So like that's why if you're not smoking 564 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 1: with nicotine and you're still inhaling all these chemicals for nothing, 565 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: I still I'm gonna double down. You're a dummy. Well, 566 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: the FDA, and this is a big deal. Um in April, 567 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: I think this was a couple of years ago, they 568 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: released these regulations, one of which said that in order 569 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: to get it passed through, each skew that is what 570 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: it's called in the biz, not just this business, but 571 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: you have a retail shop, like every little thing you 572 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: sell is called a skew. Each skew had to be approved, 573 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: and that means every single flavor is a different skew. 574 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: And the dude did the math and he was like, 575 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: we have two forty skews a hundred dollars an hour, 576 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: five million per scue, and he's like billions of dollars 577 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: basically to get all these stupid flavors approved. Right now 578 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: that now that the FDA has come in right, And 579 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: what this guy was saying was, we have spent decades 580 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: trying to get the tobacco companies stripped the power from them, 581 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: and now that the cigarettes are a thing, and now 582 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: they're being regulated, you just gut it out the independent 583 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: businesses which left big tobacco this huge vacuum to come 584 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: in and be like, Okay, here your e cigarettes courtesy 585 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: of us Big Tobacco. Are they doing that? Already been 586 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: screwing you over for decades. Yeah, so they're making the 587 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: six now. Yeah. I believe Altria, who makes Marlboro, came 588 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: out with the marked and like almost immediately really once 589 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 1: they hit the US in like two thousand seven or right. 590 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: I'm surprised Big Tobacco hasn't gotten in on the cannabis thing. 591 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: I can't believe they're not, because cannabis vaping is a 592 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: big thing now too. Yeah. Well, that guy in the 593 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: Rolling Stone article was saying, like a lot of his 594 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: colleagues are being like, forget nicotine and I'm going over 595 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: to cannabis. It's less regulated. Really basically I'm paraphrasing here. 596 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: That's funny, though, you got anything else? Uh, well, just 597 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 1: that last study we we never finally said the results 598 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: this u C. SFS Division of Adolescent Medicine. They tested 599 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: sixty seventeens who vape compared to sixteens who vape and 600 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: smoke and twenty who did not do either, And of 601 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: course they found out that if you do both, it's 602 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 1: a lot higher. If you vape, it's still high. If 603 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: you don't do anything, then you're fine. It's kind of 604 00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: a no duh study apparently. Also, some of the um 605 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: depending on what chemicals like formale hyde, can really come 606 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: out of the flavorings or the vegetable glycerin um or 607 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: the propylene glycol I think, or reactions between these things. 608 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 1: But it's also very temperature dependent. The higher temperatures they 609 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: can they can create some really toxic stuff, but at 610 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: lower temperatures you can inhale the same stuff and the 611 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: um those chemicals are not created. But if you're blowing 612 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: fat clouds, you're probably at a higher temperature. Yeah, so 613 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 1: you are probably getting the worst of the worst chemicals 614 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: that your cartridge has to offer. Yeah, I think a 615 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: lot of those pins. You can vary the temp depending 616 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: on what you want to get out of it. Right 617 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: for after like a certain price point I would guess. 618 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: And then lastly, one of the thing that whole jazz 619 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: about how you're just exhaling water vapor that is almost 620 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: certainly not the case. So you're exhaling some of those 621 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: chemicals into your cubicle neighbors face. I mean, at the 622 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: very least, like it's not like, oh, we should be 623 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: able to do this in movie theaters and restaurants because 624 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 1: it's not smoke, it's still obnoxious. You look like a dope. Yeah, 625 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: with that flannel tight around your wife. Boy, we're gonna 626 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: hear from vapors. They're gonna be mad. Uh. If you 627 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: want to know more about vaping, read about this, don't 628 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: go take it up. That was another problem that people 629 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: were saying, is like, there, if it's touted as like 630 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: harmless or whatever, people might be like, well, I was 631 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: putting off smoking because I didn't want to die, but 632 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: maybe I'll try this vaping thing, right, don't do that. 633 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: Just go read about it, figure out what you think 634 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: about it, and then don't vape or smoke it, says I. 635 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: And in the meantime, it's time for listening. Now we 636 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: call this uh Sea Monkey follow up? Oh yeah, good, 637 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: we love that episode. That was a great one. Hey, guys, 638 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 1: just listen to sea monkeys. Is young reporter with a 639 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: local newspaper. I interviewed Yolanda at her home in Brian's Road, Maryland. 640 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: That was the widow of the inventors sea monkeys, right. 641 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: She wrote a children's book and I was doing a 642 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: story about it. It was about animals, by the way, 643 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: not sea monkeys. I remember her giving me a giant 644 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 1: bottle of Ebby and water and the best vegan pumpkin 645 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: chocolate chip cookies ever. She was a devoted animal lover 646 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: and one of those people who would feed wildlife and 647 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: deer that wandered onto her property, leading them to overrun 648 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: the surrounding neighborhood. She also filled me in on the 649 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: sea monkey saga and gave me a T shirt another 650 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: sea monkey merchandise. I gave the sea monkeys and tank 651 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: to my friend, who kept them alive on our office 652 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: desk for years.
