00:00I think it must be really, really difficult if you're addicted to either vaping or smoking to stop.
00:04I think vaping probably is as harmful or will be proven to be just as harmful over time.
00:09I think it probably could be just as harmful.
00:11I don't smoke, however my addiction is caffeine
00:15and I think it must be really, really difficult if you're addicted to either vaping or smoking to stop.
00:20So I do have a wee bit of sympathy for some of these people, although I detest smoking.
00:24If life wasn't so stressful, people maybe wouldn't smoke so much, you know.
00:28If the rail prices were a bit cheaper, you know.
00:31If life was just a little bit less stressful then, in my opinion,
00:35I see more people smoking and vaping now than I did five years ago.
00:39So I'd like to see the figures on, you know,
00:42kind of giving up rates and whether they've slowed down considerably
00:46just because modern life is so difficult and stressful, especially for young people.
00:51I suppose the worrying thing is people go straight into vaping without ever having smoked.
00:56So they go that and so it's seeming that it's a viable alternative to smoking.
