Very well done!

The lady who said smokers/adults dont want to switch to flavors like mango. You have any data to back that up? Because a $5 billion dollar vape industry says you're wrong. So do surveys showing that over 85% of those who have switched to vaping from cigarettes say flavors played a large role. This was a terrible presentation void of almost any science or facts.

Vaping is NOT big tobacco

Very nice vid. Can I fly my drone there or did you get a special permit for this video?
