WEBVTT - MINI! Should schools be doing more to stop vaping?

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Now this is hard for me to understand because I

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>am not a vapor myself. I am not a smoker.

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>I've actually never I have tried a vape. That's a lie,

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>but I've never smoked a cigarette. I have tried one

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>vape ever because someone was like, it's blueberry raspberry pop

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, sounds delicious, so I tried it.

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>There is a study that has come out Generation Vape,

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>led by the Cancer Council, and it has found that

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>more than two thirds of fourteen to seventeen year olds

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>have used a vape knowing it contains nicotine. Wow. Now

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>people are saying, teachers are saying, and a professor is

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>saying that kids are becoming addicted to vaping. Kids in

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>school they're turning up to their exams with nicotine patches

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>because they are so addicted. They're going away to school

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>camps with nicotine patches. Like don't forget to pack your pajamas,

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>your runners, you're pillow, you're sleeping bag, You're nicotine patch

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>for you school camper prolic so much is a study,

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>So I mean it's not don't believe it.

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I just think like the bigger issue here as well

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>as is that for so long, the way in which

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 2>the vapes, the way they looked at, the way they

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>were branded, the things that they were named, the flavors

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>of them were so marketed to kids, Like, it's no

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>surprise to me at all that kids are addicted to vaping.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's so many rules and regulations around how

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 2>small packets of smoking are able to be displayed, but

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>vapes bloody everywhere.

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, listen to this. This is gobsmacking. Quitline who we all?

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I have family members that have used Quitline before.

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>It's the line they've been helping people quit smoking for

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty years. The call up, yes exactly. They have said

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that they are now getting callers for vaping as young

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>as twelve years old. Quitline is getting twelve year olds

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>call up because they're addicted to vaping.

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 2>But also, I reckon kids would have no idea how

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>addictive it is, and then it's once too far gone

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>that they don't know how to stop and they realize

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>it's probably a problem. Or even if they're realizing it's

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>a problem, who knows.

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Nowt on it.

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 3>But at that age, you don't know me you can

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 3>get them anywhere.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>But it is actually illegal for I think it's under eighteen.

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>So how are twelve thirteen fourteen year olds getting by that?

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 3>One actually needs to build into the sale of these things.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 3>They're everywhere and they market them. You're so right. They

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 3>look so easy to get and suasibly displayed. Yeah, and

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 3>also even I'm confused. Do some have nicotines, some don't,

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 3>some do some flavors that I don't get it.

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, guys, I just made a mistake and I need

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to actually correct that.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>I've just looked it up.

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Ease.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Cigarettes containing nicotine are only legal available with a prescription

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>under the current laws. Wow, so how are they getting?

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>George is called on thirteen one oh sixty five. You're

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>a school teacher, are you?

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Yeah, I am, now.

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Hi Georgie. What's your take?

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:40.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Oh, it's horrific, Like pretty much every every kid

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 4>in every school. And I'd like to say, and maybe

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 4>not every but at least eighty percent of students at

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 4>most schools bakee realistically.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>And they vakee at school. So like, are they just

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>walking around in their recess with the like music bar

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and abape?

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 4>No, it's not like that. They're pretty discreete because it

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 4>is like an instant suspension. It's more just like in

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 4>bath rooms and us as teachers, like, we can't really

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 4>go in the bathroom, so it's a bit of a

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 4>gray area like that.

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like, I mean, far worse health consequences, But

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like where mobile phones came in schools and

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>teachers didn't know how to stop kids from bringing them in,

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>how they would have you know, rules and what were

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the implications of it. And now we've got vaping, which

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 2>is a whole other thing that teachers have to try

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and police when they should just be trying to teach

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>a kid.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, mind, were ugi O cards? Well, I couldn't bring

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 3>yugi oh or Pokemon cards.

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Into mine was a tamagotchi. Yeah, Like, we come from

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>very different worlds, But what do you think we do

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>about it?

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 3>George?

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Like, so, if you see a kid vaping on school,

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it's an instant suspension. What if you suspect, like, I mean,

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>let's be real, you can smell it. They all smell

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like some sort of bubblegum or some sort of dessert.

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you do if you're like, I know you're

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>doing that. Are you allowed to search their.

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Bags or realistically we aren't as teachers, but we can

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 4>pass that on to higher up an executive even they

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 4>have the ability to do that. So yeah, it's really

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 4>just like a quick offload because yeah, we don't have

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 4>that capability on. Unfortunately, it'd be great too, because yeah,

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 4>they walk in smelling pretty fruity, and it's like only

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 4>leading to one being realistically, do you know, like.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you hear whispers around the playground about how they're

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>accessing these knowing that you're supposed to have a prescription

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's illegal. Where are they getting them?

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? H they get them from each other, and I'm

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 4>sure they get them from I guess stores that just

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 4>sell underage and are just looking for money. But like,

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 4>funny you say that, I've got a good story like

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 4>about vaping of when I caught a lot of apes.

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 4>So working at a previous school I worked in, we

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 4>were under the suspicion that they were vaping the bathrooms

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 4>and we knew that they were.

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 3>So after.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 4>They all went back after lunch, we went into the

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.239
<v Speaker 4>bathrooms and we researching. We couldn't find and we're thinking

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 4>where we know they're doing it in here? They don't

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 4>have them on them where are they? And we ended

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 4>up lifting up like the top of the toilet and

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.799
<v Speaker 4>there was about thirty eights in about massive sandwich bag.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 4>And because like this in which bags are waterproof, there

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>air lay's sealed in their air tight, they were just

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 4>it was just a communal.

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Vape like yes, like an el chapper, like in the

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>cistern of the toilet like that. How do you did

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to be to have toilet water vape?

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 4>But it's it's air tight because it's in my sandwich bag.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>So I don't Jordge, is it true that they are

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 3>like there? You had to install smoke sensors in the school.

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, that's correct. We have to install vape sensors

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 4>in the school.

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh they're specific vape sensors, not smoke sensors.

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 4>No, they're vape sensors so they can pick up like

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 4>the vapor and then yeah, it just sets an arm

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 4>off as security.

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's insane.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>That is crazy.

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Imagine that we have to do that now.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 3>Totally, it's nuts. It's like that's there you go, Georgia,

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 3>thank you Mane. I mean it's so interesting, isn't that crazy?

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Epidemic
