As if e-cigarettes weren’t kid-friendly enough already, they now come with video games, Bluetooth and other smartphone-like features that make them even more appealing to kids.

These products can deliver massive doses of ni****ne that quickly addict kids — and they’re on the market illegally. That’s unacceptable. The FDA and other agencies must act now to take these and other illegal products off the market.

Towns in Massachusetts continue to seek after a "ni****ne-free generation", with Reading, Mass., a town of 25,000 north of Boston, the latest to adopt the policy.
Maureen Buzby, regional to***co control coordinator for several of the towns in Massachusetts, describes her job as a game of whack-a-mole, trying to stay ahead of an industry that continues to find cheap and sleek ways to deliver ni****ne. Prior restrictions on to***co were “Band-Aids,” Buzby said. By contrast, the generational ban “really protects younger people” without taking “anything away from anyone who’s already 21.”

About 40% of new cancer cases among adults ages 30 and older in the United States — and nearly half of deaths — could be attributed to preventable risk factors, according to a new study from the American Cancer Society.

A new study from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the University of Nebraska Medical Center analyzed ni****ne pouch use in a nationally representative sample of 39,557 U.S. adults. The study found that 2.9% of adults had ever used ni****ne pouches, with 0.4% reporting current use.

“The low prevalence of ni****ne pouch use in adults surprised us, given the rapid increase in sales,” said study coauthor Adam Matthew Leventhal, PhD, a professor in the department of population and public health sciences at the Keck School of Medicine and executive director of the USC Institute for Addiction Science. “But it’s also possible that the sales are being diverted to adolescents, who were not represented in this survey.”
