high school students used e-cigarettes last year in the united states. cbs news medical contributor is with us. doctor, we declare public health emergencies and in fact the trump administration did when it came to opioids. sometimes hurricanes also get that treatment. is it time with e-cigarettes to declare an emergency? >> that 3 million number yesterday, the white house says 5 million this year. kids are getting nicotine and thc in their brain that's still developing. we don't know what it does. in order to get the nicotine or the thc from this e-cigarette into your lungs you need to carry the molecule. he will supplied carry the amount that goes in and it stays in the lung hence the lung disease and the potential deaths that are happening around the country. we need to step up here because we don't know the implications. >> how long before we will know? it took us a long time to figure out what cigarettes would do. >> a couple of decades where doctors are saying smoke camels, it's good for you.

they've been around for a long time. they weren't under the jurisdiction of the fda until 2016. since they've been under their jurisdiction, the fda hasn't stepped up aggressively in terms of regulating. >> why weren't they under fda jurisdiction until 2016? >> congress has to say what they regulate. years later e-cigarettes di we don't know the outcome is the problem. the company said listen, this is a vehicle to stop smoking. stopping smoking is good. we're seeing smoking rates go down. vaping rates go up. a year ago i interviewed ned who is now acting fda commissioner, head of the national cancer institute and i said what keeps you up at night? he said three words. vaping, vaping, vaping. >> as a doctor, do you see any benefits at all to vaping? >> we know right now that the hour we've been doing this show. >> no. >> is there any evidence? >> there's no evidence it has lower lung cancer rates than

smokers. there's no evidence it has lower emphysema than smokers. there's evidence that it's a gait wget way for children to go to real tobacco. >> the american cancer society says that e-cigarettes are markedly less harmful than tradition cigarettes. >> that is not based on data. we don't have long-term data on e-cigarettes so you can't make a statement. we just don't know the answer yet. >> so people -- >> can they be as bad as cigarettes? >> i think they can be yes. >> so there's no benefit to being weanedff cigarettes. >> if it's a way to taper down your smoking maybe there's a positive. the maybe is there. we just don't know the answer. i'm data driven. most times we have technology that think will do something in health and turnout to be wrong. i hope it's not the case here, but there isn't data that i'm aware of that is safer than tobacco in the long run. >> it's hard for me to tell how you feel.

democratindemocra democrats joe biden and elizabeth warren on a stage tonight. two former campaign presidential managers are in our toyota green room with what advice they would give to the candidates. you're watching cbs this morning. morning."

you're looking at houston where for the first time democratic front runners yoejoe biden and elizabeth warren will face-off tonight. 10 of the 2020 candidates will take the stage for the third democratic debate. it will highlight competing divisions for the party's election. we're excited to introduce two new cbs news contributors, terry sullivan was marco rubio's campaign manager in his 2016 presidential rain and robby m k mook. welcome to you both. let me start with you. i know you think things don't

really get serious until after the holidays, but how significant is this first face-off between warren and biden? >> i think it's important because viability in the general election is the obsession of democrats right now. they really want to nominate someone who can beat trump. there are real questions. is warren someone who can take on trump or is biden? biden has to continue to prove that he's that front runner, he's the best equipped to go into the general election and i think warren has an opportunity to knock that down a little bit and make herself look like a better choice to be that nominee against trump. yeah, i think it matters. as you said, is it going to change the polls or radically shift people's views? no. but i think it's an important chapter. >> who faces more pressure, senator warren or joe biden? >> joe biden. look, his whole rational for running is i'm the front runner and that's now in jeopardy. elizabeth warren has got

momentum. she's -- she's got everything going for her as a candidate at this moment. joe biden faces a series of bad news stories. he's in a tough spot. he's got to right the ship tonight and it's going to be an important debate for him. >> is the dynamic between warren and bernie sanders? >> i don't know how much longer bernie can continue to be so gracious and deferential. >> he can't say anything even remotely against those he's running against. >> we'll see next week if he declines to say anything against her. >> the only real candidate democrat who has had real momentum is warren. polling numbers have virtually doubled. >> there's going to be more friction in this race going down the line. bernie i include in this. i think the reason people are cautious, we're seen sparring in the debates. once you cross that threshold,

it's hard to go back. look, i think everybody has something to steal from each other. biden's got to keep people at bay. bernie needs to steal people from warren and biden to go on offense and grow. biden needs to steal from both of them. it's this interesting question. there to be a pylon on biden. >> who do you think republicans should be rooting for in the democratic debate? who do they want as their enemy, their opposition? >> i think elizabeth warren is the democrat's worst general election candidate, but at the same time allowing the debate to continue like it has the last two times is going to be a gain for republican. >> why do you say warren is the worst for the general election? >> because her policy views are pretty darn far to the left and i think that's going to be a problem for the democratic party. when you see the last debate, the democrats were attacking

barack obama's middle of the road policies. even joe biden was having to distance himself from president obama. this party has shifted and these candidates are shifting even further than i think the base of the party is. so i think this -- she exemplifies that. >> there's a republican challenge too. south carolina congressman entered the race. republicans, about 87% approve of president trump. what's his game here? >> he's a true believer in policy and ideas. i've known governor sanford for a long time. every race he's run, he's been wildly underestimated and has won. and so, you know, i wouldn't rule him out completely. it is an extreme long shot but if he goes and tamps out, very personal individual, if he goes and camps out in iowa and hits all 100 counties and shows up 10% on some polls, invite him on to the set here and gets coverage and that takes on a life of its own.

>> any of you try to take on trump? barack obama said in the past, stop all the, circular firing squad. should you just focus on trump this evening, now that you're down to ten? >> look, trump is going to be omnipresent in this. very much there at the debate tonight but i think voters want someone who can defeat trump, so you have to explain that rationale for why you're the person. and i think we have seen in this race so far, people with the most momentum, as you were saying, people who are talking about their ideas. for example, for joe biden, i think it's time for him to explain, here's my ideas. i think he's going to want to do more of that. >> you guys have both been in positions preparing for debates. do you miss this part of the game? >> this seat is is way better than that. this job. >> robby mook, terry sullivan, thank you so much. see you soon. immigrant life in america is

democrat loudly protested the vote in a half empty assembly. take a look. >> i will not yield! >> the ap reports they have heard a tape of republicans saying that not as many democrats say they were at the 9/11 ceremony. >> you can see why she is so angry. i am talking about a college football, big-time college athletics. lawmakers in california passed a bill that would allow student athletes in that state to hire agents and sign endorsement deals, and this would end the ban on student athletes taking money, and the ncaa is

threatening to block those schools from competition, and big-time football and big-time basketball, these programs generate in some cases over $1 billion, so much money, and the players on the field, their faces, they are in marketing and everything else, and they get nothing, and they are amateured and get nothing. >> it is easy to say they are exploited. >> yeah, other schools don't want it to happen because they think everybody will go and play in california if you can make money for it. >> i used to think it was not right, unless you said how much money the colleges make because of the athletes. >> in the old days, it was not as profitable, and you could

make that argument. >> they better figure something out there. >> i am last, i am talking about the squirrels. think about the squirrels for just a second, and you have heard stop and smell the roses and flowers, and that's what we do as humans, and how about a squirrel? it's a squirrel smelling the flowers. this photographer took 500 pictures, and you see the sequence of the squirrel leaning into the flower, and then finally that moment where he gets to the flower, and it's that look of bliss where he's closing his eyes -- he or she, he's closing their eyes as they enjoyed the smell, and the photographer has been blown away by the reaction, and squirrels, some say they are big rodents -- >> i don't know. depends on where you live. >> when you look at that, and

you see the pure bliss -- >> there you go, thank you, thank you. he's getting closer -- do you have another picture? getting closer, getting closer, and there, i love this. >> you can appreciate squirrels, but also hug a flower today. >> there you go. >> am i a flower? >> you have flowers on your dress there. the newest sitcom, it explores immigrant life in america. it examines the relationship between bob, a socks salesman, and a nigerian nurse. they first meet in a hospital when she is assigned as bob's nurse after he suffered a heart attack. >> is my family still around? >> yes. would you like me to get them? >> no, got. tell them i died. that joke you liked.

people you wake up around or who care for you, it imprints on you, and he finds something is very striking and special about her, and he decides in that moment, you know, i will see if she will give me a chance, even though we are different. >> you don't want to seem to give him a chance? >> it might appear that way because she has tunnel vision in a way, and she has come to this country and her goal is to create a better life for herself and her son, specifically, to send her son to an ivy league school to become a doctor, and that's her mission and that's all she is focused on, and this comes as a surprise, and it takes her a while to notice. >> what do you think when you read the script? >> seemed like it was written for me, and a lot of my aunts, i grew up with in nigeria, and it was seamless. >> you came to this country in 2001 on your 18th birthday?
