00:00Well, I don't smoke. I actually have difficulty in starting again. I used to smoke a little
00:07bit while walking and now I would like to smoke sometimes for social reasons because
00:13I think smoking is elegant in a way. And the problem is not smoking, it's the exaggeration.
00:20If you smoke too much, smoking a few cigarettes a day seems to be fine.
00:24So I'm an anti-smoker. So for me, you know, that's not something that I agree with. My
00:32sister vapes now and has recently given up smoking. I've nagged and nagged at her for
00:36ages to give up smoking. I'm happy that she's vaping, but on the flip side of that, at the
00:41moment I don't really think we understand the long-term effects of vaping.
00:47I would say it's rather addictive because some of my classmates, if you open their bag,
00:52you'd find about 20 vapes in them. So I'd say it's dangerous, it's just like addictive.
