00:00It's too new to know the results. I think years down the line people will know the
00:04results on people's lungs from vaping but I don't know personally because I never
00:09smoked so but I think in years to come we will see the results of vaping.
00:14So I initially came off of cigarettes and went to vaping and vaping was giving me
00:19heart palpitations and I had like really bad like like heartburn and really bad
00:23effects from it so I've actually gone back to cigarettes now which I don't
00:26have the problems with but yeah vaping is worrying because there's a lack of
00:29long-term research and you only need to smoke for a couple of years vapes
00:33yourself to realize that actually it is bad.
00:36The dangers of smoking are so transparent you know we've known about a few years you know there's been
00:41endless amounts of research because smoking has been a thing people have
00:44done for so long and you know we don't know all the long-term adverse effects
00:48of things like vaping but that's not what concerned necessarily concerns me
00:53about vaping it is how heavily marketed they are and how easy they are to access.
