Smile FM Ryan O'Connor Breakfast Show

Punishment for smoking we would NOT recommend

Loading player...
Smile Breakfast had a conversation about a recent increase in teenagers experimenting with vaping. They caught up with UCT's Prof Richard van Zyl-Smit who explained that there are a lot of concerns about his departments reports of a sharp rise in matric students using vapes. Listeners called in and shared their thoughts on how to approach the topic with their kids, but a particular call caught us off-guard. When it comes to cigarettes, this is definitely not recommended.
