- They do it outdoors, in cinemas, even in the middle of class. A growing number of teens in Singapore are vaping, despite the fact that it is illegal in Singapore.
After learning about the dangers of these devices, also known as e-cigarettes, Munah Bagharib heads to Malaysia to trace the source of some of those making their way into Singapore.
She learns about the head-spinning variety, puts some tough questions to the founder of one of Malaysia’s largest vape retail chains, and speaks to experts about what can be done to stop our kids from getting hooked.

Dang, the boss handled the interview well. No wonder he's so successful in the business.
Yea he was very composed and eloquent
Ikr hes legit doing an interview for a show telling people n9t to vape essentially and still advertising through this interview. Very scary.
@@josephc.9520 its more personal self decipline i have friend who smoke and vaping both end up quit vaping, back to smoking and i had friend smoking and vaping, end up quit smoking only vaping, and slowly take caution slowly less vaping...
one word : CARTELS ... period
Its a "pick your poison" issue. While we quarrel over this, the govt just benefiting from tax. Doesnt matter which gov, if they really cared for your health, they wouldve stopped smoking and vaping since the getgo. Only reason SG doesnt allow this is because its not as profitable as tobacco.
@Disenchanted Diversity Agreed. If those in power can convince the world to wear a useless cloth on their faces against a virus for 2 whole years and counting, anythings possible.
Well the Malaysian government is banning anyone born after 2005 from buying cigarettes. So they won't benefit from taxes there, they'd be losing multiple generations of buyers.
This story should have been tied in to the Malaysian plan to permanently ban cigarettes to anyone younger than 15 now.
actually the incentive to tax doesn't come from tax revenue but comes from Healthcare savings cost. it's a social trend that causes ppl to be sick
And they themselves use it. Same as alcohol.
I smoked for a long time and vaped+smoked for a few years. It wasn't until nicotine salts (high nicotine content) came along that I was able to kick the smoking habit. I have since lost 50 lbs, lowered my blood pressure, and no longer vape nicotine (when I vape at all). I also know I wouldn't be married to the lovely woman I'm with now if I hadn't quit smoking. For me, vaping completely turned my life around. Some regulations may be ok, but I would caution against setting up hurdles for people who may want to improve their lives.
Good for you bro. I'm a fellow switch. Sadly these story of ours isn't sexy enough for medias to cover. Media doesn't like to hear good stories. Even if it's the truth.
And im trying to quit but vaping doesnt do sht because of the oils in it, it causes me too much sticky moisture cause respiratory issues and infections.
Hard bro to quit the habit. Really glad you made it. I hope to follow suit soon.
After a while with leaks and stuff I went back to cigarettes
I agree with your story but this has the additional point of support + discipline. If there are many stories like yours, then you could be helping others as well. Sadly, there are many who do not have your support and discipline.
Even without the nicotine, I am wary about the other chemicals inside. So... Best to get yourself checked.
At the back of my head, I keep on hearing Munah saying “Can I try.” 😂😂😂
Vape need to be regulated strictly on production but not to ban. All of the harmful chemicals are able to clear. Make it legal but strict.
There is no harmful chemical . There is the addictive stimulant nicotine. But u would not drink decaffine,would u? Whats happening here is they go to doctor faces that dont like alchehol and ask their uneducated guess about harmful effects vape have.its sort of like climate scientist. They dont know but they can guess
Lol
Ban completely not regulate
I actually agree with u
Chewing gum left the group
Yeah, part 2. Another stellar content covering this topic. Vaping is widely use here in Canada.
1:36 Anyone else saw Aaron Aziz doing the vape ads? LOL
Hello CNA. Why you making it sound at the 1:30 mark that cigarettes have less chemicals that vape? Cigarettes have 40 documented carcinogenic chemicals in them. In the 1950s through to 1970s cigarette manufacturers spun the story that cigarettes were cool, for the debonair and fashionable. Now the spin is, vape is bad. Bottom line (1) poor reporting (2) the effects of second hand 'smoke' from vape are not as deleterious as cigarette smoke. And while we are on the topic, how about we discuss the idea, that if governments around the world were able to impose an additional tax on vape products, will there be as much fuss about vaping?
At the end of the day, when u suffered from major stroke, liver failure, lung cancer or heart attack, then u start to realise, that your life is at stake. Quit drinking, smoking or vaping. Think about your family before it's too late.
Didn't expect to see Munah! Amazing work as always.
I stopped smoking for quite some weeks. It is amazing that vape does the trick. Also I only use UK regulated vape which is elfbar.
Elfbar from china lah... haiyaaa... why u so stupid....
Only buy US/UK made with clear labeling. Or China vapes that are approved in UK/US (like elfbar). They are not really regulated that much as well (especially in the US) but beats the Malaysian ones in terms of transparency.
Wow so Malaysia is one of the big player for vape/vaping. Now I know, not that I, a Malaysian, anywhere near proud of it. Neway vape helped me to quit smoking cigarette totally, and now I'm even reducing vaping like 50% (the flavor I choose normally contain the lowest nicotine) I agree teens are not to vape, but who am I to tell them no!
Side note: maybe it depend on the person, like me, I find it not much of a problem to not vape for long hours even in a whole day I can go without vaping. Not like cigarettes, the longest I could stay away was just a couple of hours. Now that I manage to quit smoking (almost a year now), hope in the near future I can 100% let go of vaping as well
Vaping is very common in Singapore. I have seen many people vaping in Singapore.
as a non smoker, i rather them vape then smoke regular ciggs... at least they dont smell bad
I do share the same idea. I am a non smoker, and I'd rather vape to be used as stress reliever than cigarettes. So I picked up vaping. I could casually quit vaping altogether, I did before, as I see fit.
Well i wouldnt vape just saying
I wish i just vaped and never smoked a cig honestly. Worst thing i ever did
Not trying promoting vaping to the public but been vaping daily for 8 years, I dont see any health problems yet. I workout and have good stamina. Most "Vaping" related deaths and hospitalizations usually have nothing to do with the normal vapes sold in proper shops these years. Ensure that the juice is proper, the coil is within proper operating temperatures, the cotton/wick is not burnt, the batteries are protected properly plus, replace when required and I think we're in a pretty safe spot. Proper regulation is fine.
Drinking alcohol: Addiction, drunkenness, violence, bad for liver, causes car accidents
Vape: Addictive
Obviously, vape is more dangerous
dont tell everyone the secret
ps- ciggrates are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper than vape
but no one cates abt that
Alchohol a product made from plants through fermentation allowed
Vape made from chemicals and China water banned
Smoking like many things picks up as an addiction and becomes to tool to cope with stress, or to 'feel better'. Vaping is that tool to help cope with smoking. I can see the biasness in the video always pointing to long term health effects and so on. But look at the bigger picture, can vaping improve an individual's health when compared to smoking? Yes. Can it be a way to help someone quit smoking? Yes. Does the health benefits outweigh the current unknowns of vaping(if there is anymore to be found)? Yes. Does vaping give out 2nd hand smoke that also affect non-smokers? No.
It has already been scientifically tested and has already been in the market for more than 10 years, with many users such as the boss in the video using them as a replacement. The fact that some United States prison provide vape pens over typical cigarette breaks to the inmates, should say something.
True i have completely stopped smoking, using vape that too sometimes ,it genuinely helps to quit smoking cigarettes, the monopoly and propaganda of these Tobacco corporations is just ridiculous.
Started smoking when i was 12 and a pack of 10 sticks was only $1.50. Finally decided to quit because life is short. There are many others who wanted to have a healthy and longer life but passed on because of other health issue. I value my life, smoking is not worth it.
Stop something u cannot tax. Simply put it, it’s all about the $$$. Smoking is just as bad, so why allow one and not the other.
16:40 that shows you how free Singaporean is.
The sales guy is so articulate. Impressive.
Well before, these "experts" are pushing e-smoking as a healthier alternative to smoking. Now, these experts are also the one discouraging e-smoking when it boomed.
No experts ever did that lol. Spore been taking the stance that e-smoking is dangerous since day one. Malaysia allows it because they lost control and decided to just legalise it and tax it.
It depends on the country's regulations
Stop something u cannot tax. Simply put it, it’s all about the $$$. Smoking is just as bad, so why allow one and not the other.
Vaping can be healthier if it is prescribed and controlled. Problem is when it is not regulated and businesses start to commercialize and people start to abuse the loopholes and device.
A scientific paper often starts with whatever it is supposed to target. Only when human factors come in then things start to revere. You cannot expect everyone to be that ideal. Don't blame these experts.
Because they didn't expect teens to pick up at a young age. On average, most young smokers started around 16-18 yrs old. Currently, most youth started vaping around 11 to 14 yrs old, which is both alarming and worrying. Which is why this programme specifically targeted at youth.
If smoking is not banned then why is vape banned when its far less dangerous than smoking tobacco?
Money!
Your deduction is funny.
THough there is no "ban" for smoking traditional cig, it is highly restricted.
You can't smoke indoor, can't smoke in public, the price is high because tax, and there is a cancer picture promoting smoking cessation.
Vape however is everywhere unregulated, and you can't really tell if vaping is less dangerous because it is still new and need more evidence.
for example, it is difficult to smoke 100 cigarettes at one go, but one can adjust the concentration of the vape solution to 100x concentration or swap to dangerous homemade solution.
Because sg cannot earn from heavy tax
Well, then they should apply to vape what is applied to cigarette and the problem is solved.
When I started vaping, I first opted for tobacco flavour, but then I changed to fruit, etc. I thought, "What's the point of vaping tobacco flavour vapes if I'm trying to quit smoking?" It's like an acholic drinking non alcoholic beer. Sooner or later...
This is why I hate the government. Want people to quit and spend money on smoking campaign but still import cigarettes to sell for profits .
I've quit smoking and I only vape now. It's definitely a tool to help smokers quit. Problem is some people I know smoke And Vape at the same time lol.
@Iamlove Iampeace He said he quit smoking. He did not say he quit nicotine..
@Iamlove Iampeace whatever it is , I've quit smoking and I no longer smell like a walking cigg, my wallet also hold more cash. Its definitely better option for me so I don't see why it's so bad
@Iamlove Iampeace so you rather have people keep on smoking cigarettes with all their KNOWN and far greater issues? Please don't say total abstinence is the way to go! If It were that easy, there wouldn't be cigarettes at the mama shop today after decades.
@Iamlove Iampeace it's not brainwash if it's Factual. Or are you the one that has been brainwashed? Lol
That's...teeechnicially true or lawyer-like truth I would say :D . It's like walking around saying that you quit gambling, as in you no longer go to slot machines, but now you obsessively bet on horse races or you got yourself into the stock market.
There are actually 2 main kinds of vape, one is just heated tobacco which do not have flavours and have similar additives to cigarettes whereas another is flavoured vaping market.
In all honestly both are hamful, flavoured vape is a lot more risky due to lack of regulations. Additives have been barely tested before release, the fact that vapes/cigarette smoke goes into the lung and the bloodstream directly is highly risky.
I personally prefer cigarettes and vapes to be banned, if they are to help people quit then they need to be highly regulated in terms of safety. Whether vapes are safe is still inconclusive.
Vape e-juice contains nicotine and it can be seems as 'cool' to blow O rings or generally, smoke itself. Nicotine is an addictive substance which makes vaping so addictive as well as the attractive sweet flavours it produce. To make it less harmful, you can always opt for zero nicotine vapes, which are readily available in the market. Japan has allowed consumption and usage of e-liquid but they only allow zero nicotine vapes to be regulated in the market. If Singapore were to produce vapes in singapore, they can reduce or increase the nicotine inside the e-liquid itself and make it less addictive. Vapes are taxable, there are many reasons why Singapore don't allow them in the general markets. Teenagers are the main problem of why they can't sell vapes in singapore. You can literally ask an adult to buy cigarettes for you and you will get it and it will also work with buying vapes. So, teenagers will vape from young and they will be addicted to it. The only reason why cigarettes are not banned, is because if you ban smoking in Singapore now, a lot of the working adults won't be too happy and there will always be people trying to find ways to get the cigarettes into singapore.
Take away the science and chemical research, take the testimonies into account. Vapes are generally improving lives of people who are smokers themselves. The only hindrance is the teenagers, which makes vapes impossible to sell in Singapore. However, like I mentioned before, even though vaping is not legalised in Singapore, people will always find a way to get them in.
The Malaysian government will push forward to table a bill that seeks to ban smoking and vaping for those born from 2007, after making amendments following resistance from some lawmakers.
Eyep,it's called the generational endgame
These kids are ratting out their suppliers faster than the vape delivery. Lol
Malaysia produce vape juice and sell it to other countries, but not very famous in Malaysia. not many vape users anymore in Malaysia.
I see a lot of people vaping around me in KL,
the flavours and packaging are alluring tbh
To first prevent teens from getting addicted maybe should control the adult population first. If the teen grew up watching the parent smoking it will be the same for him when he become an adult whether it's vape or cigarette
Nope because regardless of if it is or not, vapes are seen as healthier than cigarettes so people would be more willing to try it. An underage may not take shots but they may try beer and wine.
It is definitely better and healthier than smoking.
Depends which ones
There are some brands that do put a lot more nicotine in comparison to a single cigarette
Now most of them are usually lower value in nicotine
Vaping is advertised as a "healthier vice" than smoking.
Vaping is intended to lure these smokers from using cigarettes.
The problem is that these non-smokers, vice-free teens are lured as well.
Either be the "cool/bad ass" image, or peer pressure.
Well, regulate vapes just like prescription drugs but don't deny actual smokers a path to a 'healthier bad habit'. It's about harm reduction, not harm elimination. Or should we also ban cigarettes,alcohol, sugary drinks, gambling etc etc globally?
Who want to try disgusting cigarettes when vape is better? Gateway to cigarettes? Don't be ridiculous
I've tested my juices, they don't have any acids in them. With a simple PH test, and acidity test well, it says nothing about it having any type of acids.
Strange, it is legal overseas! Is this products subject to duties?
Chewing tobacco will be far less harmful to others around compared to smoking and vaping, at least zero secondhand smoke from chewing tobacco leaves.
I have been vaping for 4 years and am currently 2 weeks clean. I gotta say I feel much more energized and active ever since quitting.
Hw did u do it? Longest i could is 5 days 😂
@@ProSKnox haha I would say initially it was really hard but everyday gets easier. I also started using sweets as a replacement specifically Fisherman's Friend
Did you smoke prior to vaping?
@@ricardo9013 Yea I have. Used vape as a replacement for it and now fully broke out of both habits. :D
@@jinglesalt still on candy-spree 😅?
Dont smoke dont vape. Why put such substances into body?
WHY WOULD THEY PUT THOSE SUBSTANCES? PARASITES FROM ANIMAL PRODUCTS. OFTEN IN THE LUNGS. VAPING KILLS SOME OF THEM, BUT NOT ALL.
Why? We should also put the same question to alcohol, junk food and perhaps even 4D and casinos ... this opens up a whole new can of worms.
Should we ban processed food and junk foods, snacks, sweet drinks, in general?
@@noblestar7742 IF YOU KNEW HOW TOXIC THE INGREDIENTS WERE YOU WOULD TAKE THESE "PRODUCTS"OFF THE MARKET ALSO.
@@jon_nomad because those you have mentioned can be all done in moderation. Nothing is good for you when you do it excessively. But smoking, or vaping isn’t something you will only do it “occasionally”. Unless you quit nicotine, don’t talk about how vaping helps smokers to quit smoking.
Stop being strict with cig, they will just go for alternative. Study prohibition and human behavior.
we just need a more relaxed and positive, nurturing society, then people won't be as stressed working horrid jobs for survival hence no more need to smoke to destress
Then why are schools strict with cig if smoking helps them to reduce stress?
in Malaysia smoking and vaping is a normal day...
if drink alcohol is sin and planning to ban...
i don't go to stop smoking / vaping campaign every year because is not effective to local either ...
my neighbor is in this campaign and as a counselor, he himself had gave up his job due to more people join vaping, looks hopeless
to stop the habit is start in heart
I stopped smoking two years back and i didnot use all these vaape or nicotine bubblegum or straps nonsense. Just dont smoke for a week and change the pleace you use to smoke before boom you will be clean for ever..
Not everybody can do as you did. Many have tried numerous times over many years.
I can buy vapes through the telegram groups you have shown . You have to blur it otherwise , you are indirectly encouraging people how to buy them
capping is a new form of tobaco cigarettes industry such as Marlboro cigarettes . The conventional tobaco cigarettes industry produces such as Marlboro cigarettes demographic customer audience over age of eighteen and twenty one .
If it becomes legal in sg, they could limit the nicotine content to 10 or 20mg/ml. Most disposables and pre-filled pod vapes sold in sg and Malaysia only comes in 30 or 50mg/ml which is an extremely high nicotine level that most people shouldn't be using unless you are a very heavy smoker. The high nicotine content actually makes the cravings and withdrawals much worst than using a lower strength vape such as the 3 or 6mg/ml. In the UK and Europe, the highest strength available is only 20mg/ml which is already quite a high dose.
Same didn't Hapened with Malboro Man (7000 chemicals) nobody said they are marketing burnt leaves with light drug
Good luck
Still trying to understand if Shisha is actually safer than Vape?
vape should be safer.
Expenses is lower than cigg. if vape. Inverted Language is still like real of such existence in information and communication.
Then if "no same vocab heard", they are in a mindset-action of a group?
The problem are those who illegally sell vapes to teenagers, not the manufacturers or legal shops. I don’t encourage teenagers to vape just becuz it looks cool. Although vaping is not a good habit but as an adult u’ll face a lot of stress. It’s just a choice for us to escape from this reality by boosting our dopamine. Why not discuss the side effects of alcohol? Sugar also can cause light addiction and serious damage to ur body.
Akso Gt is by Dato Aaron Aziz a singaporean guy
Short answer don't start...I stop vaping because my lungs started to hurt..I decided to stop because of the lack of regulation on e juice especially the ones from China, futhermore I vape alot and the nicotine is very high so I find myself vaping 24/7 because of this I decided to smoke to reduce my nicotine intake...this way I can control and not have nicotine 24/7 so I'm planning to stop before the end of this month which will be hell.
We prefer IQOS heating our tobacco. With vape and it's flavors, for us at least. The after-taste does not sit well. Vape flavours you can get for cheap, but that is never and enticement. This is us who change from smoking normal cigarettes, to full vape 100 % and finally migrating to IQOS heets 100 %. Our level of smoking is totally reduced, since IQOS can only work if we buy the heets. Heets is quite expensive, it's an investment to even buy them in bulk of 3 or 4. Without the heets, the IQOS can't function. To me mechanics like IQOS is better to any one who wish to kick out the habit of smoking. This statement is by an experienced cigarette user, who aims to kick away the habit. Like the Malaysian owner behind VAPE Empire said - if you don't smoke anything, don't even start. That's our experience so far.
01:35 munah be like aaron aziz my friend!!
Is vaping banned in Singapore?
I'm not addicted to vape or smoking. I am addicted to munah 😂
Singapore more and more vapers and their vaporizers so many types and some with running disco lights.
Nope as people are vulnerable to addictions . The key is about being hooked on substance use.
Breathe air, you don't need a vape. - Andrew Tate
yes very true
Tbh I don't understand why is it so hard for the police to clamp down on the export of Vape. Govt has done a great job on cig that it is hard to obtain for youth under 18. However it is extremely easy for kids to buy Vape in SG and quite a large group of them started as young as 12 years old.
Munah is super pretty
ironically... suddenly ... smoking traditionally become the "safer" puff... .. .. .
I tried vape 2 years ago, cant stand the smell and throw everything out. Try it a month ago and still cant stand the smell, smoking is the best
Shouldnt we ask first "can we STOP SMOKING?". Or law makers are afraid of the cigarrete/tabaco insdustry?
Watching this video while vaping 🥲🥲🥲
If you are going to pump dangerous fumes into your delicate & irreplaceable lungs, might as well go for the best Cuban cigars. That’s what I do and even then, I do it sparingly.
Dei, u got to be a noob if you inhale cigar smoke.
Bodoh peh kambing!
what happens if the makers remove harmful stuff/addictive things what will happen :3 ?
Very hard to summon people in the future bcoz less people litter cigarette butts and smoking all over the place. Bcoz of a mobile apparatus called " VAPE " ☢😁
Some off us want to know if its safer or not to vape or the truth at least and if the THC in the vape is real thc or if t is actually a good thing or not....for me nun of this are but for thos who want to know 🤔
a smaller evil, better then a regular smoke
sure we can! just reduce cigarette prices to 5 dollars for a pack of 20sticks
Once upon a time it did cost 5 bucks, $2.50 for ten, 1.90 for 7.
Yup, that will definitely reduce vape usage.
lol you can never stop smoking unless 2 things happen, one, somebody close to you die of smoking related disease or 2, you get sick
if they never feel the pain that caused by it, telling them to stop is only wasting your time. let them feel the pain and they will stop.
How did that work out for cigarettes last few decades?
@@k.k.c8670 dont know bro, i wish you tell me.
Please dont make vaping looks too bad. I dont vape or even smoke but im more tolerative with a person vaping next to me than a smoker. But i do believe vape sales and usage should be strictly regulated and govt should do as much as possible to discourage future innocent people from becoming their next customers.
I've never understood smoking since it honestly smells like exhaust fumes, they must add some incredibly harmful addictive chemicals to them to make them impossible to quit.
The chemicals is the main part of the smoke, as in the chemicals are not 'added', the smoke is the chemical. The addictiveness comes from tobacco.
It's like saying curry powder is added to curry to make curry tasty. No, curry powder is not 'added', it is the curry. There is no curry without curry power. There is no smoke without tobacco.
@@RambutanLaw
You can still salt salty foods.
They can add more nicotine, even if it is naturally occurring.
@@RambutanLaw
at the same time, its the companies that made the product socially acceptable as well as making it palatable.
tobacco can be chewed as well, but it taste awful...(curry powder by itself is awful)
smoking was popularized in movies, tv shows and ads. remember those old ads where smoking was seen as macho or sophisticated. (westerns, mafia, spy thrillers).
to spread their reach, they added flavors/scents to the tobacco. menthol, fruity flavors. and various forms :filters/no filter , cigars, shisha, etc. (like chicken, beef, fish or veg curry, curry made using mainly water, curry made using stock, etc)
its now being replicated in vaping but with much more variety of flavor; and better reach, thanks to the internet/social media.
thankfully i didnt follow peer pressure or family (3 out of my 4 siblings smoke, and so does my father)
and i cant get drunk on alcohol, so my only vice is games and tech..
but hey, i only spend like 50 dollars a month on gacha games, compared to my siblings which spend from 100-300 dollars a month on cigarettes.
Its not "added" .... like addictive alcohol.... its a process that naturally creates these chemicals. Its the act of burning the leaves and inhaling the smoke that is toxic. Also, not much different than stand around a fire and inhaling said smoke, causing damage. Or how marijuana has natural occurring chemicals like THC and CBD. Nothing is "added".
You're lucky. I never understood how someone could be addicted to booze but people are not all the same. I don't smoke anymore but i could always go for a ciggarette the small craving is always there and i still like the smell. The vape was the only thing that helped before salt nics i thought i would smoke on my death bed. I could easily smoke a pack a day and sometimes more when i smoked. When i try to do the math of how much i smoked in 11 years it's pretty insane. Vaping was really a godsent for smokers and i could remember them giving smokers samples of an E Cig as early as 2007. The industry did go overboard and really started targeting kids instead of smokers like it was intended for originally.
Hmm VAPE EMPIRE almost look like VAMPIRE😮😅 funny
I don't see them doing the same amount of research, exposure, and content on cigarettes.. why? because, cigarettes and tobacco and profitable through tax.
The research on cigarettes has been done. Everyone knows they are harmful. They think vape might be harmful. So... why ban the maybe harmful (vape) and not yet ban the definitely harmful (cigarettes)? This whole campaign makes not sense. Why don't they ban both? 😎
Its a buisness..they dont care about you,only eant ur pocket money for their car collection.
Well you can say the same about cigarettes. Why aren’t cigarettes banned yet? Because it brings in so much taxes esp for Sg government
95% safer then smoke cigg.
I tried vaping but don't have the kick I get from smoking, after I somke a cigarette it can last me for 1 or 2 hours then I'll somke one more stick but for vape, when I vape for 5 mins that how long I somke one stick of cigarette it only last me for 30 minutes then I need to start to vape again so vape to me is like inhaling and exhaling somke if I want to pay money to inhale and exhale somke I must well go to one of the Arabic restaurant at Arab street and somke sheesha at least their sheesha I can feel the kick.
Given that many of these juices are from Malaysia (not that I do not trust Malaysia), are there certain ingredients masked with nicotine, especially for those who argue that it is without nicotine and what other ingredients could have be possible sources of addiction? Doable episode with lots and lots of approval.
That business owner... yea tar is the one that causes illness, but he refuses and avoids addressing that nicotine is the one that causes addiction and the continued inhaling of tar (caused by nicotine) makes it worse. Its business altogether, honestly.
I dont know how edited this video is (if Munah had asked more questions), but I give kudos to Munah doing this in an amicable way.
Tar is caused by nicotine!? Don't think so. And again, you are solely focusing on the addictive nature of nicotine. Most vapers are ALREADY addicted to nicotine but with cigarettes they might be addicted to a lot more than nicotine from combustion releasing hundreds/thousands of other chemicals.and if you'd check, nicotine itself is in fact present, albeit in trace quantities, in many natural foods. Nicotine (although addictive) isn't the main problem with smoking.
@@k.k.c8670 unless we have actual numbers, or not we cannot prove that nicotine is lower in juice.
Btw, you said food has nicotine. Yes, there is, but we dont eat the same kind of food/foods for every meal and we dont eat that huge of an amount (dont tell me you eat a kg of potatoes every meal etc). It is in ppt - parts per trillion (though I do not argue there isnt nicotine in food alr).
When you smoke or vape, nicotine will definitely in higher concentrations. People dont take 1 puff and thats it. 2 weeks for 7000 puffs. Typical vapers take it a few times each day; I believe the total amount/concentration will be higher than just consuming food.
Yes, tar is not in vape juice. But with the addiction from nicotine , it travels together with the addiction, causing other chemicals to travel to the body (same with smoking; it is the nicotine addiction that continues the input). If the body's rate of detox is slower than the intake, which causes accumulation, then it is harmful. Some even do 2 together... money and their health.
@@k.k.c8670 I dont know how you edited your comment but I feel you dont get the full picture, which is really that obvious. The lab results previously were only qualitative (detection), but did not state amounts. With reactions going on (such as formaldehyde), we need to know the actual formulation of these.
Im not sure how much Malaysia legalizes this and if the vape device (whether it is up to standard) is safe. Alot of vape juices are also like food (the flavours and all). If we likened to the food industry, there can be ingredients that can be masked. We have the right to know and the right to check and the right not to purchase it. I dont see what your fuss is in the arguement.
@@johcx1994 then why are cigarettes not banned with clear health hazards? It's about harm reduction. It is a fact that cigarettes have 100s/1000s more chemicals than any juice. Chemicals that are not there can't 'travel', can they?
@@johcx1994 and we do have actual numbers. Juice comes in nicotine of 0mg to about 50mg per ml. Each cig has between 8mg to 20mg of which about 10% gets into your body (the rest is burnt)
Hey.. he just jumped off the cliff. Cool, I wanna do that too!
Facts: We know cigarette is very bad for health due to Tar. We still don’t know if vape is harmful despite many clinical studies. So between 100% harmful tobacco and maybe not harmful vape, the choice is clear.
Both contain nicotine, so if the idea of the ban is to prevent teen from starting and get addicted, then regulate vape like cigarettes and prevent the shops from selling to teens and force vape companies to have unattractive packaging and warning message like cigarettes.
Aside vape is also not smelling and has not « second hand smoke ».
I think the real problem is that quality vapes are not cheap and should gouvernement apply same tax as cigarettes on them, it would make them completely unaffordable, hence increase the black market and loss of revenue.
Inhaling ANYTHING but oxygen is harmful to the body. Vapes included. There is still chemicals and a chemical reaction to create the vapor to inhale. Vapes may be not as dangerous but still NOT a good choice. If you choose either, just know the risks and dont be ignorant about information.
They never get to the real specifics on WHY it is detrimental to your health. Explain it and the quantities of each ingredient. Because cyanide is in apples and the small amount doesn't kill you.
nobody actually knows if it actually detrimental, or by how much. all of the videos, articles and warnings are vague like that
I have been a smoker for several years and quit 7 yrs ago and switched to vaping. Personally I would advice those who don't smoke to vape. Only those who smoke and are trying to quit should vape. I know vaping is not 100% safe and don't get into it if you don't smoke.
How to quit vape ?? Just low your MG...from like 24mg to 22mg,18-12-6
Did they stop youth smoking in the 60’s? Could they?
they tested the wrong vape which is made in china not made in malaysia.
I tried vaping to replace my smoking habit... but sadly vaping cause me to be very breathless, much worse than smoking. I also develop a constant cough for months. if you Google EVALI, you can read about it, the medical cases related to vaping is quite alarming. in the end, I went back to smoking.
Ok? Your really gonna tell people they should smoke cigarettes' instead of vape? That's' just lunacy but whatever works for you works for you. I believe people should have choice and freedom as adults. I smoked for 11 years a pack a day and would not recommend it to anyone. I would not recommend vaping to someone who doesn't already have a problem with cigarettes'.
jeez!! this guy 🤣🤣
Other research says other wise. Stop trying to back the big tobacco companies.
In another few years he may stop vaping? make enough $$ already!🤣🤣🤣🤣He live longer and his customer dead younger. 🤣🤣🤣

Vaping or tobacco is matter of personal choice. Let the smoker decides choice of poison.

Tell you what news and government people. The day you choose to ban all alcohol, sex toys, and drag sex shows. That is the day I will stop vaping, but my money Said's its not going to happen because you are interfering with peoples choices on how they want to live.
