It's pretty good, but I do have some minor bones to pick.

Everyone there acts like nicotine is solely responsible for the "addictive" nature of tobacco. This is clearly not true. The minor alkaloids with MAOI properties in tobacco play a significant role.

The Juul bashing, because Juul is "too strong". IMO, Juul is exactly the right strength for a device of its size, and its size makes it attractive to many who don't want to tote around a "huge" mod.

Michael Siegel says, "There's no such thing as an unflavored e-liquid". Huh? Unflavored e-liquid is what I'm vaping right now, and what I vape more of than anything else. Dr. Siegel is a great guy and very much on our side, but someone needs to set him straight on this.
