00:00I've seen people, many people, vaping. I've never vaped. I do smoke, but I smoke ordinary cigarettes.
00:06I don't vape myself, but my partner does, and I think we've noticed just how difficult it is to get a hold of the ones that you can refill.
00:17It's just really difficult, so there's just a real culture around it being about the disposable ones.
00:22So I think it's a really good idea, actually, and if people want to do it, great, but I think let's just move over to a more sustainable way of doing it.
00:29I was kind of looking forward to a smoke-free generation, and now it seems as though most of those companies have pivoted to instead offering, like, flavoured fruit juice vapes and stuff to 13-year-olds, which is kind of nightmarish.
00:39So if disposable vapes go anywhere near towards controlling those, that's great.
00:43If people still want to do it, then they'll go to the route that they're able to do it, and there'll be lots of options on the market, I'm sure.
00:50I'm definitely on the fence, 50-50. I couldn't say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
00:54I mean, smoking's bad for us anyway, and I'm a smoker, so more for me.
