and nicotine is addictive. one of the most addictive substances known. and that was never the intent of these e-cigarettes and it is disappointing that teenagers are getting addicted. >> sure. tell me about tobacco-free rx. why did you start it and how does it tie into vaping? what are you up to with this? >> sure. as a critical care doc and pull onology and i see people with tobacco heff rye lated illness. copd, lung cancer, stroke and heart attack and these things are preventible if people hadn't smoked. so i felt that it is important to try to good to the cause. and actually san francisco and boston led the country in 2008 in getting pharmacies to stop selling cigarettes. and i agree with that 100%. so tobacco free rx is an organization i founded in 2010 to support that effort and i think as a doctor, as a medical professional, it's so important

for us to also be advocates when we see a corporation, corporations doing something that is evil. like philip morris making cigarettes, walgreens selling cigarettes and then a juul representative in schools -- >> you feel that is just your obligation as a physician and healer to get involved in this way. >> i think that it is worthwhile if we could make a difference. >> last question before we run out of time. it seems ironic that just as it seemed smoking rates in general and maybe teenage smoking rates were declining, here comes vaping and it changed the game. what would you tell the teen -- say to teenagers quickly thinking about vaping or who are vaping? >> i would say it's changing your brain and not in a good way. it is changing your brain not in a good way. don't start. and if i could slip in something to parents of even younger kids, message them earlier.
