PSA (Interlude) - Intellectual

[Intro: Jay Dyess]

(This is a public service announcement

Brought to you in part by Cole Drummond

For the duration of this PSA

You will be subjected to his unfiltered opinion

But here's a fact: as of January, 2020

Over 200 people have died nation-wide

By vape pens, pods, and e-cigarettes

This is a PSA)

What I'm about to say is weird and it kinda' gets to me

'cause I do not agree with school on almost anything

But when what they're tryna' do is save your life, it's different, G

So have an open ear and mind while you're listening

Hear me out: vaping is bad

I know you've heard that 1,000 times today, and that's sad

But maybe I can word it in a way that ain't makin' it drag

It's not helpin' you at all and it's only makin' you gad

Do not give me the excuse it's helpin' you quit your addiction

Even Andress Stacey could see that's a lie with his vision

You don't have to light it; you just pull it out, then take a hit and blow

The vapors away. It's easier than a cig and you know this

You know that it's harder to notice

And that's why you use it and go with the flow 'cause

That substitute is easier than actually tryin'

I hope there's air in your lungs and you do not gag while you're dyin'

I hope you live past 30, I hope you think you're cool

After you graduate school, this won't mean nothin' to you

You won't look cool anymore; you'll look pathetic

'cause you're not tryin' to quit and won't just put forth effort

I know you know the risk, so why do you smoke e-cigs?

Is it 'cause of peer pressure or 'cause your parents smoking it?

No matter what the cause, listen to what I say in this:

No matter what started it, it's never too late to quit

(A study in 2019, showed that 47% of adolescence, aged 12-17

That vape, do so on the behalf of the example their parents set

By vaping around others, you don't only put yourself at risk

But you drag bystanders in too

This puts others in just as much danger as you're putting yourself in

And don't be fooled by "no nicotine" ads

99% of vapes include large quantities of nicotine

Which most commonly harms your brain's attention span

And impulse control, but even without nicotine

Vaping can still put toxic metals in your lungs

Such as lead and nickel

Metal shouldn't be in your lungs
