Phos, do you relate to this meme?

Well I consider myself pretty relatable, so let's see.

How I spend my money: The basics: Vapes.

Oh, you know I don't vape,

so I actually can't relate to that.

But I do know the impact

that vaping can have on people

and it's not just about the money.

What do you mean?

Well, they’re jam packed with chemicals that are not only really bad

for your health,

but are also extremely addictive.

Well, I only use them because my friends do –

surely they can't be that addictive,

I mean I can stop whenever I want to...

Right? Well, not exactly.

It’s the nicotine in vapes

that makes them so addictive.

Even the action of reaching for

and puffing on a vape becomes

something that's really hard to break.

I can't tell you the amount of times

I've gone to a concert or something

similar, and there's been someone

in the audience vaping because they can't go an hour or two without it.

It's pretty detrimental

to not only your physical health,

but your mental health as well.

Now that you mention it, I've experienced pretty similar situations before.

I guess they’re worse for you than I thought.
