researchers say the number of smokers dropped about 15-percent... between 2005 and 2015. but the c-d-c says more anti-tobacco action is still needed. experts say nearly half of patients diagnosed with cancer... are linked to tobacco use. the c-d-c says smoking rates are highest among men. a man in texas is coming forward and admitting he was wrong... after he tweeted that busses near an anti-trump protest... were used to bus people into the area. the message went viral... and became part of a national controversy. fox's raeann christensen has the story. tucker says: "i thought going on twitter was not a big deal, i thought, i have 40 followers, i post twice a year on twitter. i'm not a professional blogger at all, laughs, ya know." what eric tucker thought was not going to be a big deal - turned into a social media frenzy.... seeing a bunch of charter buses lined up on 5th street near waller on

coincidentally around the same time an anti-trump rally was being held in downtown austin he says was unusual... so he took to twitter with the claims the buses were being used to ship in protesters. tucker says: "i hadn't really fact checked at all ya know it was just all kind of circumstantial and then before i know it, it's a story, i am over 10-thousand tweets by the next day," within 24 hours - president elect donald trump also took to twitter about professional protesters saying "just had a very open and successful presidential election. now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. very unfair!" tucker says: "i kind of felt like maybe i am in reasonable company, maybe i'm not wrong." but when people started questioning tuckers claim - so did he. turns out the buses were being used as hotel shuttles for the tableau conference being held at the austin convention center. tucker says: "was i wrong in this case, yes i was." but for many they believed it was part

protesters are being recruited and paid. tucker says it's a lesson learned for the more than 16- thousand who retweeted it. tucker says: "i don't want to speculate too much but i do think that it does speak to sort of shallowness of this current election cycle." and a lesson learned for him. tucker says: "i'll be more careful, especially if i know that it's going to be picked up by this many people (laughs) yeah." several swastikas have been found on the walls... inside a maryland the principal sent home a letter about what she calls "heartbreaking" images... drawn on the wall of the boys' bathroom. the school doesn't know who the culprits are... but says everyone there is saddened by the incident-- and this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. local parents aren't sure what to make of it.

election... something that has not been confirmed by authorities. anti-trump protesters have adopted a new symbol for their movement. they're wearing safety pins. it's to symbolize that they're allies with groups including the l-g- b-t community... minorities and women. the symbol was modeled after a "brexit" campaign started in the u-k. while the movement has many supporters... critics call it an "empty gesture that's not accompanied by action." a set of twins will have a hard time explaining who's the older brother. being born during day light saving time-- has put the twins in quite a pickle. we'll explain. next.
