Me too!! I started at around 14 years old. I'm now 48. 34 years I've smoked. Thank God I'm still here to try the flavored e-cigarettes, vanilla-custard-graham cracker is the flavor that helped me give up the cancer stink sticks. I also love Pineapple blends as well. First flavor I tried was a Starburst Skittle and I love that too. Fuck big tobacco they can kiss my butt, I won't give them a dime of my money!
I’m 51, vaping truly is the only thing that has helped me to quit smoking after nearly 32 years of smoking. You are so right about big tobacco companies paying off government.
I'm from Canada. Signed the petition for vaping in the U.S. in support of vapers. 2 packs a day for 41 yrs. Quit smoking through vaping, 4 years ago. Lungs are getting better every day. Vaping is the only thing that worked for me. Best choice I ever made. Keep up your fight Lou, good luck in your endeavours.
I smoked 2 to 3 packs a day for 22 years and quit back in july 2019 after being introduced to vaping! Nothing else worked for me. Waiting on my second mod to arrive. Viva le vape!
Smoker for 30 years. Switched to vaping. Best choice I made as well. Just had my 3 year anniversary. Hello from Alberta. Heard this news about a week ago. MSM not covering the whole story. Love your videos Lou. Keep up the great work.
@@GospelOfTimothy firstly it's "too" secondly what's that got to do with the ban on vape bruv.. feel like you miss clicked from "how to smoke crack behind my mom's back" and ended up here about to piss off a Russian. good luck son
Thank you Big Lou. I’ve been following all of this closely, and watching all the videos being put out from all the big vapor channels, reviewers & “advocates” on RU-vid....Matt from SMM, Grimm, Mike Vapes, Fagan, Vic from the UK, Jai, IndoorSmokers...all of them. What is happening now state by state was inevitable, yet no one saw it coming and thus no pre-emptive actions were taken early on to avoid this . We needed advocacy from the INDUSTRY itself, and that never happened. I’m afraid it is now too little and too late, since the govt’s momentum, supported by its powerful media, and backed by big tobacco, are going full speed ahead to end the vape industry once and for all, so they can protect their own investments and capture their lost profits they had all banked on from the master settlement agreement. It’s horrible, frustrating, and sad. Government and corruption at its worst. We are all now their casualties, and they can give two shits about any of us or the lives that vaping has saved.
From a fellow New Yorker who has watched you for almost 5yrs Thank you. We all have to fight for our right. Shit is so crazy I cant wrap my mind around it like a death smh. We gotta hold strong 👊
@@seanoconnor5730 you guys need to be united .in my country is still ok but our gov are a bunch of sheeps if a powerful country does something they tend to follow ,hope america does not fall.greetings from Romania,Transylvania.
Well stated Lou. I'm 2-3 packs a day smoker for almost 23 years. It's been 3 years since I switching to vaping. I feel much healthier now. My lungs get cleaner and in better shape now. Keep up the fight
Lou, been faithful watcher for yrs. And yes I'm Canadian and I wish your government would take ideas from your Allies. And you were so classy on the way you put message out. Cheers Lou. Best from Canada.
@President Trump!: Love everything you have accomplished so far. You are a very bright individual and if you haven't closely examined this attack on ex smokers who have been helped by vaping, please examine this! Don't let those losing the tobacco money obscure the truth! You are my president- right there amongst the Founders- please do not compromise on this. 🇺🇸
A smoker in remission told me,"Ughhh, you don't know what is in that eliquid." I laughed and said, I make my own liquid. Next, I said "what's in those cigarettes? you smoke?!?!" stupidity
Great video Lou, well said! I smoked for 19 years and tried to quit countless times to no avail, then I found vaping and it got me off cigarettes immediately. A cigarette hasn't touched my lips in over six years thanks to dessert flavored e liquid. I'm in my late 30s and I enjoy flavors like custard and glazed donut. I vape, I vote!
Don't alot of the state's make over a billion dollars every year from the MSA? This should show how unethical the government is twords vaping. Someone with money can take them to federal court and have a great chance of winning.
The MSA was nothing but kick in the nuts to smokers. The tobacco companies got saved, the states got lots of money, poor smokers ended up actually paying for it, & what did we get the Truth Initiative and their stupid commercials & ads that I doubt very seriously had anything to do with any teenager not smoking or quitting smoking. The huge drop in teen smoking rates lines up almost exactly to when teen vaping started to become popular. Yeah teens shouldn't vape, but teens moving from cigarettes or other combustible tobacco products to vaping regular nicotine e-juice or nic salts should have been looked at a victory at least a step in the right direction. Instead they used that opportunity to ban & try & destroy a industry that is literally saving lives by getting smokers away from smoking. Of course it as never about the teens or the smokers or the health risk. The simple truth is all the states & agencies & groups that are anti vaping are that way because it hurts their bottomline & takes money away from them.
My heart goes out to all Vapers and Business owners in NY, our Gov wants to do the same thing he just doesn't have the power. You can count on the me to call and tweet your Gov all I can till this is Fixed. Its time to RISE....Love to my Vaping Fam....Kitten
cigs nearly killed me...I smoked cigs when I was 13 till I was 43...i almost died...I deal with c.o.p.d but vaping was God sent...53 years old now and feeling much better and have completly improved...I been vaping 10 years now...Much Love
I'm 43, I smoked 2 pks of marbs a day for 28yrs up until 2 yrs ago this Nov. I lost all my grandparents (both sides, also heavy smokers) to cancer as a preteen. My father died before I turned 25, my mother died when I was 33. Both their deaths can be contributed in part to their smoking habits. When my first grandchild was born I made the decision to finally kick the habit. Unfortunately not before all 3 of my children started it. Where was Cuomo when my entire family started smoking at age 10-16??? Why weren't CIGARETTES ever banned??? Public health crisis MY ASS!!! Anyone against vaping will never get my vote! My improved health since I quit smoking and started vaping speaks for itself! I was in the beginning stages of copd when I quit, I couldn't walk fast or go up stairs without having to stop to catch my breath. Now I run circles with my 2 yr old grandson! FUCK OUR GOVERNMENT! HOW DARE THEY!?!?
I came to the realization the other day, I need to be alive for 9 more years just to equal the years lived smoking to years lived smoke free. I thank the vaping industry, and flavours, and friends I’ve made for this everyday. I’m 39 years old and smoked for 24 years. I used vaping along with will power to now be smoke free for 1023 days. #msabloodmoney
I also was smoking over 25 years and went to vaping lemon flavors and the choking up crap in the morning stopped. I will never go back I love my lemons and berries, this is all about the big smoking companies loosing money.
My smoking habit was 14year. I switched in vaping for 4 years. First i was taking nicotine level 3mg . But slowly i switched that nicotine lv 0mg. Without vaping it was so hard to quit smoking. Still now , im ok. I don't have any lung problem. So, it thanks to vape whtch give me new life. So, We Bangladeshi Vaper's r with you guys. Surely you guys will win.
Glad your alive brother! Vaping Saves lives! It saved my wife a thirty year smoker. Just to set things straight tho nicotine is a drug so anyone who vapes nicotine is a drug addict. Anyone who drinks alcohol regular is a drug addict. I'm a drug addict and so are you. People who use coffee everyday to wake up and get going are addicts. Thank you for making this video tho. We need to keep flavors in eliquid and go after the black market products! I signed!
None of this matters, they're going to do what they want anyway. You're all just spinning you're wheels. Big tobacco wins, they've got the money, now the government has "a reason" Today my governor (MI) filed the paperwork to ban flavors. Michigan businesses have 14 days to comply.
wow so they are banning flavours in US ? im from uk and everyone is behind vaping here. this does worry me as they must have medical grounds to say flavours are not good for u in the long term. ive vaped for almost 7 years and am trying to quit so far unsuccessful as im smoking again so less of two evils i mite try zero nic vaping
sid beetle no they don’t have ANY medical grounds they are SAYING it’s because they think “kids” vape because of flavors what they refuse to admit is it’s lies the “kids” that they are talking about vape THC or 50mg JUUL pods.......both are to get HIGH and have NOTHING to do with flavors! They wouldn’t care if they were shit flavor if they’re getting high that’s what they care about! Now adults have to suffers and the “kids” will keep on getting high!
@@JonesKnows r u being serious thats the American govt sole reason to basically ban vaping they have no medical issues.? unbelievable! goes to show the power the tobacco lobbys have i guess and how crooked American govt is.wow thats bull shit.im from uk so this sounds crazy to me.
@@feverXdream surely they can't do this. you got kids doing meth and all kinds over there hell even if they did vape its not going to hurt them. i think its BS teens dont vape they think vaping is lame i thought
AFTER 35 YEARS I QUIT SMOKING .ONLY VAPING ALLOWED ME TO DO THIS . MY BROCHITIS IS GONE , MY MORNING COUGH GONE LUNG CAPACITY WAY UP , THANK GOD FOR VAPING
I smoked newports for 22yrs! Since i was 15yrs old in highschool. Im also a recovering heroin addict & vaping also helped me stay CLEAN. I wanted my health back & NOW I have it back😁 I'VE BEEN CIGARETTE & OPIATE FREE FOR LIL OVER 5YRS!! I QUIT ALL THE DEMONS AT THE SAME TIME😉 Wasnt easy but I DID IT💯
Fuck yeah we do!!!! I am so disappointed and disgusted with our government right now. Sentencing me to death or trying to... because they're ignoring the facts!
If vaping is so bad how come vaping outlets are opening in hospitals in my country, also the royal college of physicians have revaluated their study & vaping is 96% safer than smoking !! I hope everything sorts it self out for you over the pond as this Aggression against vaping is absolutely ludicrous!!
My wife and myself smoked for 38 years up to 3 packs a day. With the cost of less than a carton of cigarettes and an hour or so spent with the vape shop, we quit over night with coffee milk and mixed berry flavored e-liquid. #ivapeivote #msabloodmoney
Smoked for 11 years until I found vaping. I tried patches, gum etc, nothing worked for me. I also smoked while wearing the patches. And inbetween chewing the gum. That stuff doesn't work for so many people. I started vaping 12mg and I'm now vaping 0 nic. I love that I was able to drop down over the last 2 years, but I still need to vape. For me it's the addiction of inhaling and smoking motion that's hard for me to stop. The government is so corrupt, its so frustrating. We know smoking kills, we know the long term affects of it. It seems like once these thc lung illnesses started making the news, everyone has totally forgot that cigarettes still exist and are still readily for sale everywhere. It's all money money money.
I smoked for 20 years and used vaping to quit....I vaped for 6 months slowly lowering my nicotine intake. I have completely quit both for 2 months. The flavor I started with was strawberry and Apple green tea.
Thanks for another great video I smoked for over 20years tried everything available to quit smoking nothing worked until I found Vaping and flavors we're an integral part of the transition from smoking to Vaping at least for me and everyone that I work with that also vapes Matt (Reaper) Elliot is amazing I wish I could get up in front of a bunch of people from all facets of life I'd lose my mind, but Reaper did fantastic Thank you Reaper 👊 for standing up for Vaping and Thank You Big Lou for another great video I'll be looking forward to the next one
Who are the bell ends giving a thumbs down to this video. I have one of the most addictive natures you could ever imagine. 6 years ago I started vaping and Ive never touched a cigarette since and never will. Your government needs to take a hard line stance against guns, not vapers but that doesnt seem to matter to trump and his band of muppets. Good luck USA and vape what the hell you want.
I love vape I use the BLU VAPE, i used to smoke and this has kept me from smoking for 4 years... Its healthy it doesn't bother me one bit... I workout 5 days a week 2 hours a day, and no side effects yet....
every government of this world know that cigarettes are dangerous and a threat for a humans life..but why they can't shut it down so that those teen like we were before will never attempt smoking ...
Big Lou I'm 61 years old ben vaping for the past five years not as long as you 1,300 people die everyday from tobacco smoking most of them are 50 years old or better I keep hearing big tobacco but can't wonder in the back of my mind if you're able to take 1300 people everyday off Social Security how much would that equal in a year just a thought it is about the money the money tobacco companies make is chump change compared to hospitals and government because of poor leadership Social Security's in trouble they can't afford to have us old farts living too long and they know vaping is making a difference even if they don't want to admit it
is no one gonna talk about how he said that if u vape thc you are a drug addict and what is it with the movie scene imagination "buy your drugs from a guy behind a dumpster" : ))
Tudor Iancu ok 1st off people who smoke/consume weed for “Actual” medicinal purposes. Are not drug addicts but people who are willing to buy “stizzy” on the street out of someone’s trunk of their car is another thing. If you vape THC off the street for a lesser price than the dispensaries charge just know and understand that you would be a person who is willing to take all the risks in the world for getting sick because you want to pay a lesser price. Just to save $20.00. Wouldn’t you agree that seems a bit desperate of an action. Doesn’t that sound like the behavior of a drug addict? Someone willing to risk their lungs and lives for a cheaper product off the street. Maybe I am crazy and all weed smokers aren’t addicts and they smoke weed not to get high, they smoke it just cause they like the smell or taste.
I voted for Trump, not next time after he had his knee jerk reaction to supposed vaping deaths. Us vapors have rights and need to stick together against Trumps persecution of us!
I don't think big tobacco is in any trouble from vaping, now they sell there products to a laboratory to have the nicotine extracted from it. But either way they are selling there product.
Also.. Vaping isn't "safe" it's safer than smoking. Much safer. I get it man. I'm on your side here but we gotta get our facts straight. They need to realize that we know vaping isn't "safe" it's "safer". It's all about harm reduction. People that have never smoked shouldn't even start vaping.
MA. Temporary ban will make the shops here close. Besides that they’ve banned online sales to MA as well. Juul CEO steps down and Marlboro takes over? Just as big cig took over the blucig several years back and made it taste gross. Look to the future of big cigs, say 10 yrs. would they still be big with Vaping around? That’s the bottom line. They’re losing their future
