0:00 [Music] denmark proposes a ban on selling cigarettes to people born after 2010. you mean completely completely if you got if you were born after 2010 you cannot they're banning segregated do you say like illegal denmark denmark what about vapes why you got to start there we're just talking about cigarettes you know i don't know if this is like a bad or unpopular opinion or whatever but i'm like i think that's kind of good i think so too because there's literally no health benefits to cigarettes right wait but the coolness you gain is through the roof honestly is that worth it though wait before 2010 because right now it makes sense because they're underrated after 2010 after 20. yeah so if you can't sell cigarettes to people exactly so they're already they're they're what 12 years old right now so they don't even know the difference anyway and they

0:51 haven't legally been able to buy it and then the old people would just age themselves up because they'll die and so pretty soon it'll be a smokeless country and to answer your question and nicotine products in general so vapes i think for our generation though smoking was always like seen as the coolest ████ thing ever like as we grew up in like movies film tv like yeah that was just what we saw of yeah like that was pop culture but nowadays i don't think cigarettes is that prominent it's not right you don't you go to a bar you're a club and no one goes outside i need a smoke break yeah anymore yeah the smoker dude's no longer the coolest guy around he smells like ass yeah he just stinks yeah because even with alcohol right it takes the edge off chill out you relax like there's some sort of like benefit like what for

1:41 cigarettes i'm like i don't know if there's like a there's a nicotine buzz there is a take the edge off from cigarettes a lot for people mostly people who have like relied on it but like smoke breaks and stuff like that are usually like for friends that have that do you have smoked cigarettes in the past they're always just like ████ need a cigarette oh god you know what i mean so you know what's weird about that though it's because you're addicted to the poison so then when you get the poison hit and then it starts to release so it's like you know when you get it it is poison for sure you know when you get like a thai massage right like a like a thai lady's beating the ████ out of your back and in the moment you're like ow right but then the feeling that you get after she removes the pain is then when you feel good so it's the it's that effect where uh dude it's crazy man i think i've been i smoked for over 25 years um when did

2:31 you first start i started when i was like what is it what fifth grade sixth grade well fifth grade you must have been so cool fifth grade is when i tried telling you coolest sixth grader around fifth grade is when you know you get into your friends like dads cigarettes or whatever and you guys pass around i think fifth grade is my first puff as well but i hate it first of all cigarettes are one of those things though like you have to try to get addicted yes because it's disgusting but you gotta keep ████ trying it unless you chain smoke on ecstasy i don't know how it feels dude menthol baby yeah i heard i heard you know new parts is amazing newport menthols where you got to like crush the little i don't know about this but marlboro blacks all the way bro is that a thing it was the hardest thing for me they have blacks you guys used to yeah i've done every single ████ drug in the world except for heroin but um

3:23 it was the hardest thing to quit to ████ quit dude that's the hardest thing you've had to quit out of all of them yeah dude there's also such availability and convenience with it though exactly so your body actually craves it though besides heroin like if you're addicted to heroin not like hopefully you haven't been addicted i never tried it but i want to try yeah my body craves that that your body actually craves it you know like nicotine your body yeah and it's it's like this slow killer right because you just don't it's like easy to get you can buy it you can function clearly because like even an alcoholic you gotta like get drunk or like you you gotta you know it's starting some time out it's hard right like you gotta yeah set a day for it like even if you're a stoner or whatever sometimes you're functional but still costs more you can basically the the the the buzz or this like the feeling on cigarettes

4:13 and off being sober it's like the the it's so ████ subtle that you can't tell it's like caffeine like when you're on a caffeine height you're just like kind of messed out because you're talking so fast or talking a lot dude but it's still it's still very close to being sober so you can't tell but then the crazy thing about how nicotine ████ with you is like i think till this day i'm recovering from the years and decades of smoking we're like damn i can feel like oh this is how i'm supposed to feel when i run this is how i'm supposed to feel when i wake up in the morning my blood flow everything like it's ████ insane and the anxiety and things that you have on cigarettes it's mind-blowingly different you're constantly nervous it's like you need cigarettes to just like feel chill chill it's weird man well i hear

5:04 big tobaccos really ████ like they're really dark and the way they target their customers and consumers they look at them like they're ████ scumbags like there was a big campaign that they had where they would only target gays poor people and like that was what they would target for ads and a lot of times i guess the people that they target are like we don't really see that many cigarette ads anymore like not really but the people that smoke they're targeted way more in a lot more different ways and they will really campaign to get those smokers to keep smoking and it's like really scary especially in the u.s right it's like there's almost like what bart was saying there's no benefit to smoking at all but a lot a lot of these lobbyists for big tobacco have worked their way to make it seem that all these other health issues

5:55 are not big tobacco yeah it's not then so and and we kind of think that way to the point where it's like well if you want to do it go kill yourself when in reality it should be like this should not be a thing at all because there's no benefit didn't they uh buy up like when jewel came out didn't big tobacco buy yeah they like bought out that company like majority anyway or something like a huge lawsuit for that or something like that too though because like they got so many kids um to like they were like marketing they're marketing to teens yeah i feel like eventually though the whole thing will just get weeded out because even in cars you don't really have a cigarette lighter anymore you know it's just like that's so true like bars a lot of them most of you can't smoke at a bar you have to go outside whereas before i was inside so i just feel like it's just this gradual decade by decade weeding out process wow

6:46 because it's not as cool anymore to do i remember um japan was like you could smoke everywhere like there's restaurants you're on the streets whatever and then they decided to go okay you can only smoke in designated areas and almost over ████ night like a year after that i went to japan and then like there's literally like next to the train station there's a smoking section and everyone just smokes there and then nowhere in the streets are people smoking and restaurants there's like there's going to be smoke-free restaurants um and then they became like there's there's full cities that are like this is a smoke-free city so in that whole entire city you can't smoke i remember this there's a smoking section on an airplane or smoking airplanes in general like their every seat would have an ashtray yeah you know why they have an ashtray in the bathrooms is because when there are smokers that

7:37 need to have a cigarette they don't want them to cause a fire so they're like if you're gonna ████ do it anyway then there's something they can even though you're not supposed to this is no smoking but ████ it just yeah i feel like people would smell it though if you smoked in did i tell you i almost got in federal trouble for smoking on a plane you were smoking on a plane so it was a weed vape right and like this was back when like we vapes were like kind of new so like no vapes were getting caught for anything they they weren't even talking about like and also e-cigarettes you know when they're talking about like smoking all the places not perimetered and then they finally added that includes right so anyways i was on this uh this flight to china and uh i had done it a couple times i'm not you're ballsy bro i know it's ████ up it's stupid i've never done it ever since but um i i would hit my my vape at like in the bathroom at the airport real quick because it doesn't smell the smoke goes way right away you know i was like find random corners when you're just

8:27 you're traveling for like 15 hours in a day you're just like tired right you step out when you're on on layovers you step out you hit a real kabab it's in your bag you travel with it's all good i got too brave one time and i remember i was also hitting it on the back of playing in the dark just one time worked so once you do things you get confident yeah you got a cocky guy finally i'm on this flight to trying to ride and i'm like ████ dude whatever it's the longest flight i go into the bathroom and uh i'm like all right let me i got so cocky i'm so dumb i'm mid ████ while i'm doing this you should never do a midship if you're gonna do anything like that you should do it when you're done so you don't have anything else to worry about i'm ████ hitting this thing and i'm thinking i'm getting rid of the the fumes and then the ████ thing goes in the airplane in the airport oh my god and this is a federal offense by the way apparently anyways chinese federal ah yeah and worse than china worse in china

9:19 were you going to china i was going to china they treat weed like yeah like it's really really bad heroin or some ████ yeah i didn't do this going to china this is another country it wasn't china um and so i have to ████ i'm like wiping my ass as fast as possible right to get this thing out and i already hear knocking on the door and like this chinese stewardess hey bo ho right just saying in chinese this is this is my panic thinking i literally once once i clear everything out and i'm like good to go i open the door and my mind goes i'm going to yell first so i start yelling at them i'm like what the ████ is wrong with you guys alarm right scared the ████ at me i'm trying to take a ████ and you guys alarms going off like crazy what the ████ is going on right you're a genius reverse psychology both the guy the main series and then the the lady stewardess are looking they're kind of confused but they're trying to look around at evidence they're like you smoke i was like do you
