[00:00:00]You know, when you look at a vape pen, you've got a plastic mouthpiece, >> [music] >> you've got a piece of metal that you have to heat up. Then you also have a liquid cartridge. As you're heating up that liquid with the metal, creating an aerosol that you're inhaling. And here's the thing that people don't quite [music] understand. Based upon the temperature that you read when you're inhaling and how hard you inhale, that creates all sorts of different types of molecules that can A, activate [music] your inflammatory response, B, damage the DNA within your cells.

[00:00:29]>> I don't think people are thinking about, "Hey, man, you're inhaling metal."

[00:00:32]>> People don't know that.

[00:00:33]>> Do you think people don't know that? Do you think people just aren't thinking about it or we're not doing a good enough job teaching about it?

[00:00:38]>> There's not [music] enough education about it. There was lots of education about smoking cigarettes and the harm that it causes, and then there is no detail about [music] all of these chemicals with vaping. And most people think that it isn't [music] as harmful for your lungs, that it doesn't cause cancer. That's our job is to educate them, right? But [music] it's like one person at a time. We need a bigger voice.
