I was feeling happy that I stopped smoking and switched to vaping. I tried nicotine patch, gum etc but nothing worked for me. From personal experience I feel like my breathing is easier and my lungs has cleared up eg. Just climbing a flight of stairs was different when I stopped smoking. I didn't know about the harmful chemicals that are part of the flavoring, now it's going to be another battle to stop this addiction. It is worrying about the youth who are getting addicted to nicotine this early in their age. Banning something never works. More education and awareness is the big step. Thanks for this video.

The biggest irony here: The World Health Organization's International Research Agency on Cancer (IARC) has classified aspartame, an artificial sweetener found in Diet Coke, as a "possible" carcinogen. The IARC's classification is based on three studies that found drinking artificially sweetened drinks may increase the risk of a common type of liver cancer. 🙂

[@SoulPotato007]

The evidence of an association between aspartame consumption and cancer in humans is not convincing as per the latest study. So you can still enjoy Diet Coke in moderation. It’s still better than getting addicted to vaping and permanently damaging your lungs I guess.

Please do read this. As a smoker myself, I cannot tell you how much values have helped me quit Smoking. Vaping is not harmless. But it is less harmful than cigarettes.

[@MadhavKishore]

Want to add a disclaimer. So it looks like vapes in india are not made to the same standards as in regulated countries. So what I said in the above comment only applies to regulated vapes in countries like UK. So maybe it's better to wait till these regulations reach India.

​@@MadhavKishore peddling the same drivel as vape makers..

[@sarthakpawar01]

Yep, I used to vape, anyways I got rid of it (its too difficult to get rid of vaping). Few things that I would like to add are :- 1. The major contents are propylene glycol, glycerin (u missed this), nicotine salts, and flavoring. 2. The name is derived from the word vaporization, (the principle on which these devices work). So technically its the vapors not smoke 3. And yes the vapors get condensed in our respiratory system, which leads to mucus formation (major reason for cough). 4. There's no authentic source for these devices specially in India, so no one can tell what's original and what's duplicate. 5. These devices explode bcz of the heating coils, that's a major red flag (jst imagine u r vaping and then suddenly the device explodes at the tip of ur mouth) 6. There's no fear of getting caught by family members, as the smoke has a sweet & citrus smell, where as cigarettes give a bad odour after smoking, this is the major reason for getting popular among the teenagers. 7. 14:47 There's no record how much one has vaped, (few of friends have finished it in a single day that's approx. 2500-3000 puffs) 8. 13:50 The high quantity of nicotine gives a sudden nicotine kick

This cured my asthama so I am sure

[@shahrukhshaikh6670]

You guys make news sound so entertaining and cool loving your content

[@sohamforever]

Your video's production quality is impressive, presenting information in an engaging and believable manner. However, it would have been beneficial to consider vaping from diverse perspectives, beyond just those seeking recreational use. The government's blanket ban on vaping compounds this oversight unjustly. Here are my insights: 1. Vaping was intended for smokers seeking to quit, not for children or youth. 2. Nicotine in cigarettes isn't the primary lung-damaging agent; it's the tar from combustion. 3. Vaping offers nicotine delivery without combustion, crucial for smoking cessation. 4. By resembling smoking without tar, vaping aids quitting. 5. Some profit-driven companies promoted vaping irresponsibly with enticing imagery. 6. Government intervention, like strict sales regulations similar to alcohol, could prevent this. 7. The real victims are ex-smokers who quit through vaping now forced into unregulated vapes or revert to smoking. I truly hope that you will revisit this topic with a broader perspective and understanding on the topic.

[@prembagui7104]

Vaping is counter intuitive for smokers also as it's nicotine curve doesn't decrease mean dopamine level rather increases it and unlike other nicotine treatments this doesn't slowly decreases the tolerance level and dopamine peaks, rather it increases the peaks and smokers who tried to Quit smoking by Vaping they either got hooked on to vaping or they relapsed back to smoking but with increased frequency.

[@hamzaasif5650]

very informative video but what you just discussed was the disposable pods. You are true in the regard that we actually don't know whether the flavor, coil, cotton, etc. inside these things is even safe. But there are also rebuildable tank out there in which you have full control on the type of battery you are using, the cotton you are putting inside, what type of wire are you building your coil with and what flavor you are putting inside. These are called RTA's & RDA's. There are also reusable pods out there where you can change the coil and flavor. These all can be very effective as an alternative to smoking cigarette assuming you know what you are putting inside your body.... But let's face it disposables are popular because as you said they are coming in big bright packaging, they are cheap and mostly they are using these tasty fruity flavors. no wonder kids are getting hooked into these.

[@soumyabrataroy1462]

Extremely well made and I am all in for it. Here’s my thought, since cigarettes are equally harmful, why not ban them as well!! Please don’t get me wrong, I was a smoker/vaper and managed to quit, both are equally bad, then why ban 1 when ideally you should ban both!! Food for thought…

Okay what about the debate of Combustion Vs heating in the context of Cigarettes being more harmful than Vapes?

[@vapeindia]

Many lies and mistruths: first did anyone notice her top advise to quit vaping (nicotine) is also nicotine (gums, patches etc ), which means nic by itself isn't that harmful. Second, no one has EVER died from vaping. The deaths in US were from illegal THC, and why were these deaths only in US, and why only for a short period of time (CDC has even stopped monitoring this illness) if nicotine vaping is deadly and there are now over 100 million vapers globally. Third, the compounds in vapes are in trace amounts and orders of magnitude less than in cigarettes. Vaping dua not cause cancer. The only study claiming vapes cause cancer was retracted for making a false claim. There are 1.1 billion smokers in the world today, dying at 8 million per year. Switching them to vapes (95% less harmful: Public Health England) can save millions of lives. There is no credible scientific body today that says vapes aren't less harmful than smoking (includes US FDA, CDC, WHO, NHS etc.). No one ever claimed vapes are safe. Putting anything other than fresh air into your lungs will cause harm. Those who don't smoke shouldn't try them. But for 1.1 billion smokers, over half of whom will die from smoking if they continue, vapes can be a lifesaver. It's a great mission to prevent youth vaping, but let's do it with facts, by telling them any dependence has costs, not through lies. Do look up youth-focused material created by Cancer UK or ASH.

[@aevytv]

- We’ve clearly said in the video that nicotine in itself isn’t extremely harmful but nicotine abuse is. - we’ve also called out that EVALI was caused by THC vapes. - The Indian market is flooded with cheap and unbranded China-made e-cigarettes which could potentially have even more toxins than a usual vape. - We clearly mention there’s ongoing research and speculation around vapes and cancer. Regardless please note that the aerosol found in vapes has been found to have formaldehyde, which in large amounts is carcinogenic. - Yes, vapes can be an effective tool for smoking cessation, but then they should only be dispensed on a prescription basis, rather than being sold as consumer goods, as is currently the practice.

[@vapeindia]

Thank you for engaging. Some clarifications: Overdoing anything is a problem, but there's a difference between dependence and addiction. Caffeine is also habit-forming, but socially accepted as dependence, while alcohol & drugs is considered addiction because it seriously harms the user. Nicotine is closer to caffeine on harm spectrum if the delivery mechanism doesn't involve combustion (which produces tar that contains 80 carcinogens). People will die if they smoked tea. Vaping eliminates combustion which makes them significantly less harmful. Also note nicotine gums are approved for long-term use by WHO bodies. Formaldehyde is present in hugely lower quantities in vape than in ciggies, and produced during overheating and dry hits, both of which vapers avoid intuitively (like smokers avoid smoking ciggerate butts). Cinnameldehyde which you mention is no longer used in regulated vapes. Also crucial to note is that these substances are not an essential product feature (unlike combustion is to cigarettes) and can be easily weeded out if new science emerges. Why speculate in a vlog about science? People have now been vaping for almost 20 years and no one got cancer. But over 150 million people have died from smoking in this time. Your claim that vapes contain enormous amount of nic is also totally misinformed. Ciggies contain additives like amonia to increase rapid absorption, whereas in pure form nic is not that addictive. So just comparing amount of nicotine (which btw is nic by volume and not by puff) is incorrect. Infact most vapers taper down their nic intake after fully switching out of smoking as the dependence eases. Coming to the 'we don't know what's in them' argument, this is very well addressed in NHS UK online 'myths about vaping', but here's an additional point in Indian context. India's vape ban is to blame for this, as unlike UK and the entire western world where vaping is allowed, in our country the ban has pushed everything into the black market, with no safety checks, consumer protection, and even protection of youth as the black market doesn't care for age verification or whom these products are sold to. Instead of shirking its responsibility by imposing an ineffective ban, it should sensitivity regulate them such that both youth and smoking adults are benefited (see Philippines vape law). Finally about the prescription model: When toxic ciggies are sold freely at every nook and cranny in India, why do you want a lifesaving safer alternative to be sold through prescription? UK is giving free vapes to 1 million smokers to help them switch and you want to create more barriers? Why? Also note even nic gums are available without prescription on Amazon, but for vapes you want smokers to go to a doctor, get prescription and spend more money (medicalisation makes products expensive). Why? This is like saying Coke you can buy anywhere but for Diet Coke please get a prescription and pay lots more. We are all for prevention of uptake by non-smoking teens, but scaremongering with half-truths and lies does more harm than good.

Back in my school days, if someone this pretty had featured in an anti tobacco ad, we could have saved a whole generation :)

The way she stressed "Vaping is no way close to healthy, it is extremely harmful".❤

eyeopening video, never knew it had so much impact in India as well

[@brt9099]

Why so slow narration ?????

[@doffermon]

One thing that I have noticed is that after vapes becoming very common in youth, cigarette companies have also started releasing new flavoured cigarettes into the market. Would love it if you make a video about that. Great video BTW!!

Nice video, most thing to me make sense, I feel that there were many biases against vaping, so a little misinformation.
