sometimes there’s not five in a thing I don’t know will repost our favorites so mmm welcome to good mythical more man that was that was some culinary chaos I think people think that was a joke when you said we’re gonna have the actual Surgeon General of the United States but it shouldn’t be a joke and it’ll be chase in a suit you know that’s what we usually do no that’s not what’s happening is it’s not chasing a suit ladies and gentlemen welcome the Surgeon General of the United States of America dr. Vik Murphy Murphy come on in this is not change okay all right it is Jace but no chase dresses up like all types of things around here well guys but he’s never been a Surgeon General I’m glad to be here I’m gonna tell you my name is not chase for the record good to see everyone and Rhett link it to be with you today yes thanks for being on the show we’ve never had a surgeon or a general I mean this is there’s so many firsts happening I don’t think we’ve ever had anybody in uniform either well I got real one kill three birds with one stone yeah yeah we can we don’t but we don’t kill real birds either we were lovers of birds lovers of birds but I think the reason why I was given a reciprocating saw today was because you were in the wings if you weren’t here who would have done surgery right can you do sergeant I mean do you have high caliber at all should we be have a title like a kit ready I do not travel with the surgical bag if that’s your question [Laughter] if I would have lopped off to a finger or more well I would have been more than happy to call 911 one for you but you would have at least known things like put it in the microwave or whatever you’re supposed to do with the finger it’s not that is it I could have helped you stabilize you and get you to boss okay apply pressure put it in the freezer let’s just wait until they actually happens but well no that’s not actually because I want to make sure I’m not supposed to cook it in a microwave no please do not cook so it keeps the blood flow right no no no that is not true what about rat tails – have you ever had a rat tail well I predominately deal with humans so okay I can’t help you oh it’s so I mean like you know like the bird that like the like the guy who get everybody off the baseball team he had a parade there’s like a there’s a dress code right you couldn’t have like a you don’t have a mustache or a beard or you couldn’t have a rat tail no we we have a pretty strict code when it comes to your appearance as well as your conduct that’s the only reason I never applied for the position because I went I went to the place where they do it and they’re like they’re like you can’t have a beer and I was like have you seen me without a beard I would come out of rat tails like yeah I want to reserve the right to grow a rat tail me without my beard I can’t no one would trust me to do anything no one would listen to me I would have no authority well if you decide to every shave your beard you want to join give me a call okay all right okay isn’t there a height limit no there’s no height limit okay all right because there is four this is not a fight over the Navy you can’t be taller than like six four because of the subs I’m not talking about the sandwiches I’m talking about I’m talking about the you know the submarines well in the Public Health Service which is the uniform that I wear and represent okay you you you can be six four you can be six five you can be whatever height you want yeah well how tall are you I’m six feet tall okay that’s that’s my favorite height that’s what I would that’s what I would choose to be if I could that’s what link is what I am that’s why he wants to be it we make picture taking so much easier it would you wouldn’t have to like spread your legs awkwardly Yeah right below the edge of a photo you’re doing it now – yeah I am sitting me okay let’s talk about these e-cigarettes of course I mean I think we covered pretty much everything there is to know with our little analogy there but you’ve got more authoritative information than we do and it seems like I mean I know I’ve seen it I’ve seen that you I’ve seen the children out there not the children but the young folks with the e-cigs as an alternate I think it’s an alternative why is that not the case yes well we have a lot of young people who are using e-cigarettes Rises and many of them are using them because they feel that these cigarettes are not harmful because they have seen advertisements for e-cigarettes which are really common these days right but many young people have also turned to e-cigarettes because of the flavors and in fact I brought a few props to show you okay some of these flavors and what e-cigarettes are and you may not recognize the term cigarettes but these devices are essentially devices that take nicotine flavors and other chemicals and they convert them into an aerosol form so you right inhale them and some thought the vape yep so sometimes about you know hard about that vapor they don’t always put Thein front well people call it you know vaping devices vape pens they call them ecigs a hookah there are a lot of different names work right but you might recognize some of these because these are actually e cigarettes so this is one device where you put the e-cigarette liquid and it’s battery-powered and it allows you to inhale in aerosol form now don’t do it I’m not gonna don’t worry I will take your word now we’re good for you that you thank you you’re the one you for sharing and educating but this is another one now another type of e-cigarette if you look at it closely you’ll see that it looks very much like a cigarette yeah in terms of how thick it is etc so they’re these look come in different colors they lean in different shapes etc but they all essentially do the same thing now the flavors now this is a one example that I’m going to share with you this is a an e juice and I’m gonna read you what it actually says it says a warm fluffy blue berry Dona dunked in a glass of milk oh that’s horrible so this is not on it and it says donuts but I bet it’s not actually a donut is it well I mean I’m gonna let you actually smell this so you can I think even before it’s exactly I don’t even have to open it you could probably smell it oh yeah it sounds like a warm blueberry donut dumped in a warm what is it glass of milk it R it it does I mean it’s it’s it’s tempting it’s it’s freakin tempting which makes me a little angry yeah but you can open it yeah well feel free to open it you’ll get the aroma even more strongly but here’s the key if you if you broke the seal that’s okay if you read the front of the box or even the front of the bottle you won’t see any mention of the fact that this liquid actually contains nicotine and so there’s no warnings they don’t have to do the warnings yet well if you turn to the back what you’ll find is that there all pretty mail lists that it contains nicotine right you know many kids aren’t necessarily reading this and many youth and young adults who buy these products don’t read all of the fine print yeah the only thing I would read is donuts fluffy doughnut milk like doughnuts are on there twice boys on there once which is good enough for me now and so people obviously just I see why this is tempting to a kid and then I think a lot of people are like well it’s not smoke and cigarettes have all the bad stuff in it and it’s like something’s burning and so then when I go when I go over here to this stuff it’s totally cool man it’s totally cool why why is that an incorrect perspective yeah so while these are not traditional cigarettes which are what we call combustibles meaning that you actually you like them and then you actually have product that burns well these are not actually that and they aren’t safe for kids or for youth or young adults and that’s an important point to make you know the if you look at how many young people are using these products now we went from having nearly no use by young people in 2010 mm-hmm to now having cigarettes be the most commonly used product by middle and high school students there is a more than pencils almost commonly used today bortles anymore right the keyboard the keyboard that’s why I thought it could be true yeah yeah but it’s still alarming it is alarming and what’s important to know about the about the aerosol that comes out of he cigarettes is it’s not a harmless water vapor may contains nicotine it contains chemicals from the flavoring and the other additives but the nicotine is really the the point of concern here is nicotine is a highly addictive substance and mostly cigarettes do in fact contain nicotine and nicotine is concerning not just because it’s addictive but because of the effect that it has on the developing brain now when you’re young when you’re in your adolescence or young adulthood oh yeah I am he’s a name in my late teens in your late teens it’s what I assumed you know and your youthful complexion mentally yeah well okay he’s right so your brain is and like many young people whose brains are still developing that’s a very sensitive face right and so when you expose the developing brain to nicotine then you can that can lead to problems with learning and attention it can actually increase the risk of mood disorders and it can also increase your risk of addiction to other substances even beyond and nicotine and tobacco related products so and this is a real concern because when you look at when you look at folks who use e-cigarettes at youth in particular you find that they’re twice as likely to be open to smoking traditional cigarettes compared to youth who don’t use e-cigarettes right so that’s a real concern for me and for others in public health and medicine and they’re ruining doughnuts I mean in there’s there’s other things too but I mean well doughnuts can be trouble too I mean you start with one and then you’re at 12 that’s what happens it depends on how big the packages but they don’t contain nicotine unless they’re like us a very weird don’t yeah not the one all right ones out there they’re in a vape form right well I’m certainly not here to endorse nicotine containing donuts well done all right but when it comes to e-cigarettes oh we have a big challenge because we gotta make sure that kids across the country and young people and young adults understand that cigarettes are not safe for you yeah and I think that you know the whole the thing that we covered in the video about the in which you just talked about to the developing brain stuff I mean before we started this conversation not this conversation but the conversation to have you on the show and make the amazingly amazing science that was total news to me I did not know that I just knew oh there’s some chemicals in there it’s it’s probably a probably a bad thing but can’t be good for you specifically drank a teen thing having having an impact on the developing brain that was that was news to me so I I know so many things I’m assuming that must be news to many of you as well [Laughter] but I mean we’re super excited to have you on because you look great well as well as everything else yeah that you are I’m very surprised you came here but but it’s but it’s but it is important so we’re glad to do our part to reinforce this important message to say don’t don’t fall for this kids yeah be your mythical best that’s how that’s how we put it be your mythical best which now intrinsically means stay away from the nicotine yeah well I like that message and you know the the most important thing that’s gonna help protect kids and youth and young adults from e-cigarettes is is knowledge is knowing that these these are not safe for young folks whose brains are still developing and you know we need to make sure as a society that we’re helping get that education out there that means we need to run media campaigns that help and educate folks about this we need parents and teachers to talk to their kids about your cigarettes but what’s really powerful is peer socking appears you know it said when young people talk to other young people and help them understand the risks of e-cigarettes that can make a really big difference so if you’re currently using e-cigarettes we want to make sure people understand the risks if you’re not using these cigarettes make sure that your friends understand that these are not products that are good for them yeah so tell your friends all your friends right back to this video and the main episode I mean we get views and you also get great
