00:00Alabama Barker, Travis Barker's daughter, there was a 9-1-1 emergency a month ago
00:07where she called 9-1-1 and it wasn't something that was, you know, flu or
00:15something traumatic physically that happened to her, unless you consider a
00:21vape pen physical. But that was the problem here. She was vaping and she's a
00:27singer. She wants to become a rapper and somebody told her you can't vape because
00:34it's gonna ruin your voice. So she stops and she freaks out one day because she's
00:39having vape withdrawals. It's a thing. I've quit myself. I mean you get very
00:45irritable. I didn't need to call the police or go to a hospital, but you do
00:48withdraw. I had no idea that it could be at that level where you call 9-1-1 and a
00:56rushed by ambulance. That's a surprise. That's a surprise to me. Crazy. Yeah and guys the way it was
01:01described to us is basically she quit smoking these vapes cold turkey. So she
01:05did it suddenly. She didn't really wean herself off of them. So one day she's
01:10alone at home and she starts like panicking and she's thinking something's
01:14wrong with her. So she calls 9-1-1. Anyway, she was rushed to the hospital by
01:17an ambulance and when she was checked out the doctors basically said listen
01:21you are experiencing nicotine withdrawal. You're obviously doing this quite
01:25frequently and you can't just quit cold turkey like you did. You have to kind of
01:29wean yourself off of it. So she's clearly learned a lesson here in this in this
01:34situation. Hey it's Skye from Florida. My question is why wasn't she given the
01:39proper education on how to cope with withdraw and deal with addiction? But
01:44props for her for even wanting to and trying to quit as it is very hard to do
01:48so. Millions of people quit vaping cold turkey. Did you actually vape? Yeah yeah
01:53and I quit cold turkey. I mean hundreds of thousands if not millions do it and
01:56nobody goes to the hospital. So well you live in Calabasas. Yeah exactly. Right. So
02:02I'm not so sure that we need to be training people on quitting vaping. You
02:05can do it cold turkey. There's books. I read a book. I quit cold turkey. It was easy.
02:09See? See? There you go.
