Dang, the boss handled the interview well. No wonder he's so successful in the business.

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.

At the back of my head, I keep on hearing Munah saying “Can I try.” 😂😂😂

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.

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.

I've been vaping for 14 years and feel great vaping saved my life and my doctor agrees with me.

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?

1:36 Anyone else saw Aaron Aziz doing the vape ads? LOL

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...

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.

Yeah, part 2. Another stellar content covering this topic. Vaping is widely use here in Canada.

These kids are ratting out their suppliers faster than the vape delivery. Lol

as a non smoker, i rather them vape then smoke regular ciggs... at least they dont smell bad

Didn't expect to see Munah! Amazing work as always.

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.

Vaping is very common in Singapore. I have seen many people vaping in Singapore.

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

16:40 that shows you how free Singaporean is.

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.

Drinking alcohol: Addiction, drunkenness, violence, bad for liver, causes car accidents Vape: Addictive Obviously, vape is more dangerous

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.

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 .

If smoking is not banned then why is vape banned when its far less dangerous than smoking tobacco?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The sales guy is so articulate. Impressive.

Dont smoke dont vape. Why put such substances into body?

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.

It is definitely better and healthier than smoking.

Being an influencer gives them credibility? Is that really the world we live in now?

Malaysia produce vape juice and sell it to other countries, but not very famous in Malaysia. not many vape users anymore in Malaysia.

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.

I feel like these reporters are paid by big tobacco to play defense for them.

Stop being strict with cig, they will just go for alternative. Study prohibition and human behavior.

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

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.

Other research says other wise. Stop trying to back the big tobacco companies.

Did they stop youth smoking in the 60’s? Could they?

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

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.

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..

the flavours and packaging are alluring tbh

Still trying to understand if Shisha is actually safer than Vape?

sure we can! just reduce cigarette prices to 5 dollars for a pack of 20sticks

Strange, it is legal overseas! Is this products subject to duties?

Its a buisness..they dont care about you,only eant ur pocket money for their car collection.

Shouldnt we ask first "can we STOP SMOKING?". Or law makers are afraid of the cigarrete/tabaco insdustry?

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.

ironically... suddenly ... smoking traditionally become the "safer" puff... .. .. .

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.

Hmm VAPE EMPIRE almost look like VAMPIRE😮😅 funny

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.

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?

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.

Breathe air, you don't need a vape. - Andrew Tate

Singapore more and more vapers and their vaporizers so many types and some with running disco lights.

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 " ☢😁

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.

I'm not addicted to vape or smoking. I am addicted to munah 😂

Stop, Ban Cigarette first mam, then try to regulate vape which is far less harmful comparing cigarette ! Shame. Why don't governments just ban tobacco industries ! Why don't you go behind , drugs , alcohol and such addictive thing ! strange ! after 30 years smoking i am now cigarette free with the help of vape. I feel far more healthy now.

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.

Nope as people are vulnerable to addictions . The key is about being hooked on substance use.

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.

a smaller evil, better then a regular smoke

In another few years he may stop vaping? make enough $$ already!🤣🤣🤣🤣He live longer and his customer dead younger. 🤣🤣🤣

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.

Watching this video while vaping 🥲🥲🥲

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.

Vaping is just like drinking or any other vice... don't overdo it and you'll be fine.

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

Very bad coverage for this topic. I can just see the bias you guys that you didn't put onto this video. So disappointed.

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

Same didn't Hapened with Malboro Man (7000 chemicals) nobody said they are marketing burnt leaves with light drug

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

01:35 munah be like aaron aziz my friend!!

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.

cannot tax then say cannot tax

95% safer then smoke cigg.

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.

always the less effort approach, they need regulation not prohibition, there is no need to advertisement of addictive substances be it alcohol, nicotine. if health is a problem we should ban sugar sodas, they represent a bigger threath than anything else in the moment. what we need is education and promotion of healthy lifestyle. prohibiting something never in any way solved the problem at max it only made those products approachable with no regulations at all.

whenever dna is altered by chemicals or radiation then cancer forms.

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.

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.

Imagine paying for flavoured vapour lol

The ads they showed look like they may be attractive to kids, but only because they were attractive ads. The ads did not look like they were targeting kids.

Munah is super pretty

aint no way people can vape 7000 in 2 weeks

Today’s episode brought to you by BAT lol

they tested the wrong vape which is made in china not made in malaysia.

Hey.. he just jumped off the cliff. Cool, I wanna do that too!

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 .

Smokers and vapers are as good as trash.

lucky i didn't start smoking or vaping

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

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.
