because i don't like sitting here criticizing a us president over international foreign policy at all, but he deserves it up next to commentary, takes a closer look at the tobacco industry and its promotion of electronic products despite a parent health risk. that's it from a team and myself, sean thomas, who will be in the hot seat next hour to take you through the night global headlines to join us again. he on our team to nation. ah, once again, we've got ourselves into a quagmire. member that more popular work during the vietnam era. and afghanistan is yet another military quagmire. $2.00 trillion dollars. couple of 1000 soldiers died. and for the same reason, there was no clearly stated mission. there was no incentive to win, right? because all the contractors are getting fat and rich. and so finally they just had
6:31 pm
to give up the ghost less than one year ago. the 17 year old from detroit underwent a double lung transplant. previously, daniel had assumed that the cigarettes were harmless, at least that's what he had always heard. i didn't think it was dangerous that the worst that could happen is maybe getting addicted to nicotine, which at that time it didn't feel like they feel that because i was just a kid does doing things. yeah. and the only really like i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out like, oh, it won't hurt you. is it good for you don't like that. like, it really wasn't true though. the american boy is one of those vapors who have gone on to develop everly. this new pulmonary disease has been linked to the use of
6:32 pm
e cigarettes. daniel consumed the same products as his friends. none of them have experienced any issues. but for daniel in september of 2019 his life took a dramatic turn. that night i went to the e. r and this is the 1st day i ever had symptoms and it just went down from there. and i forgot everything that happened for 50 days, and i knew long as like literally just out of nowhere just kind of happened. daniel's lungs stopped functioning normally. on an x ray. healthy lungs will appear as black. as a result of the inflammation daniels were white. in the usa, in 2019, they were around 3000 cases of emily, resulting in the deaths of over 50 people. the cause of the severe lung damage is thought to be the victim. an acetate illegally used as a thickener in the east cigarette liquids. new york north shore hospital has also
6:33 pm
treated such patients. we were very happy when a cigarette 1st came out because we were trying to get our smokers off of cigarettes. we use this as an alternative, we gave them nicotine replacement in this, and many patients felt like there were smoking cigarettes smoked a lot less or not at all. and we were happy that this was a real alternative. so what this has turned into is very unfortunate for us because it was a harm reduction that has now turned into this unknown. so we can't, in good conscience say that it's okay to use just nicotine replacement products because we don't even know if those are safe. the theory is that the unregulated t h. c. mixed products are likely the biggest culprit, but we have patients who claim they have not done those and are still sick. so i don't think we have the full answer as to what's going on and some people think it's the flavor and some people think it's the oil that it's mixed. and the lung biopsies have given us different results for different patients. so we don't have
6:34 pm
a clear, consistent answer from that either. so until we know better, i can't say that it's a harm reduction for the lung specialist. inflammation in the lungs of elderly patients is easily spotted on x rays and c t scans. you can see that there is a breathing tube here in the right, and here the lungs should be nice and black like this up here. and i can see by looking at this that the lungs are not filled with air, which is what they should be. they're filled with the material that should not be there. this is a cat scan. we started, the top of the cat scans, looks very much like normal lung starting at the top. and as we come down with the cat scan, we can see more and more patches of white area. both sides of his lungs are involved. both areas are getting wider and wider as we go down, making it very hard for oxygen, diffuse across these sick areas of lungs should never see the brown keel tree come
6:35 pm
out like this. none of it is good for our lungs. we know that in all of these products, patients, lungs are fighting to decrease the inflammatory response fighting to clear what they're, what they're taking in. so the only thing that really your lungs are supposed to taken and it's healthy for your lungs as fresh air as you said. everything else is a problem and causes lung disease everything. so these are the poles. after safety on sunday, i've already taken about 20 pills this morning at 830 and 9 am. i have to take 2 more at lunch time and then about 10 more at 9 p. m. like my old healthy body is now dependent on all these pills to even stay alive and be able to breathe. so that's like one of the main points that kind of messes with
6:36 pm
me. a lot of my head for daniel's mother, tommy, and the new situation means constant pill counting. she's glad her son survives at all. since the incident, his insistent is practically non existent. it causes anxiety to make sure that he's, he's taking his should keep to keep on anti rejection. there's anti fungal, anti viral blood pressure medicine like every kid at school, i feel like most of them have tried or are still addicted. his twin brother is
6:37 pm
still addicted, so it's really sad when you see that he watched him go through everything and, and it's still addicted to nicotine. and to paving daniel had tried a variety of e cigarette products together with his friends. according to him, getting hold of them was no challenge. it's pretty easy for people to get them, especially around here. basically any they shop or anything like they don't card and they don't really care how it will do. as long as you look like old enough, then they don't really care. so what's happening now that they've been around for a few years, we're beginning to find evidence in the population that people who use the cigarettes have more heart attacks. they have more strokes, they have more lung disease. and you know, every year as we learn more,
6:38 pm
the risks get higher and you know, i think we're not quite there yet, but in the end i think we're going to realize cigarettes are about as dangerous as cigarettes. our professor shaun works at the new york institute of environmental medicine. he and his team are studying the effects on myself. e cigarette paper ah, animals that inhaled the vapor for 12 weeks showed damage to the d. n. a of the long and hot, but what happens if the mice inhaled e cigarette vapor for an entire year? the researchers have also investigated this question. the next with the days that way exposed to mice for a long period of time. because kids are usually pick
6:39 pm
a couple of decades to develop like tobacco smoke carpet take it to so you mileage the term with they had let a weapon for one year, fisher almost one filled out their lifespan for 20 years or so human term. so would that them smoke at the weapon for why year 54 weeks. and then we'll open up. when the scientist looked at the animals organs, 9 to the 40 mice had developed a lunch humor. the scientists also found evidence of the possible development of blood cancer. the nicotine from the e cigarette had converted into constant genic substances in much of the same way as in the burning of tobacco. this, along to him of an alarming finding, the nicotine a p as far from homeless to health as is claimed. nor does nicotine vaporize ation appear to protect against nitrous amine formations in the body. from all data ready shawnee support the nicotine as customer genic in mice. and where the
6:40 pm
potential in human because the mechanism they make, the casa tumor is a go through. then i just, i mean, and i chose, i, me, has been proven on the more customer gene as well as human customer, despite the vibrant advertising campaigns and the cutting edge design of the devices. e cigarettes may not be as harmless as a manufacturer suggest. what we found this with smoke tobacco seminar among the nuclear, to combat the issue grid, the da da da damage you will observe very similar and the effect on the diego repair are very similar, and the have the protein of it is similar. so that's why i think we have to be very,
6:41 pm
very careful to make that recommendation the emission. delores parkinson francisco on a spring day in 2019 it's the place to meet for young people. in particular, on the weekend, smoking is actually forbidden the park as a sleeping or smoking marijuana. instead of handing out citations, the par gone, prefers to explain this in a friendly manner. the jew e cigarette is particularly popular in the usa. what's so special about this brand? the small and it's easy to work and it's easy to figure out how to use and they tell them everywhere. so it's very available as an adult and i know that it killed me, but it also does that make sense?
6:42 pm

6:43 pm
psychological reward pathways up to 3 times more rapidly than with conventional nicotine. what does this mean exactly? what you all figured out is by using a nicotine salt and putting beds, joy acid in the liquid, to, to make the liquid more acidic, they can deliver much higher doses of nicotine and have people actually be able to inhale them, which makes the product much more dictate, and that's why when you, when you talked to kids they, they get addicted to these things very, very quickly. we're out here. it's hot is and we're doing the jewel hotbox. and even when you go to the

jewel caps he'll sold in europe can contain a maximum of 20 milligrams nicotine per milliliters. the pods over the atlantic can contain up to $59.00 milligrams per milliliter. that's because in the u. s, there is no legally prescribed limit for nicotine european limit values for the nicotine content of e cigarettes, or one aspect of the e u tobacco products directive. what protections of nicotine limits of the tobacco directive actually provide? in see 1019 jewels launched a technically modified version of its liquid pods in europe. the older jewel pods contain the maximum amounts permitted in europe of 20 milligrams of nicotine per millimeter. the new pods have cut nicotine levels to 18 milligrams per milliliter. why would a tobacco company voluntarily reduce the amount of literacy? according to a recent study from the german federal institute for risk assessment and the

tobacco devora tree in sigma irving and the dupont sold in germany now come with a new kind of wick. the me shows the wick in the old version. jesse shows the week in the june pod sold on the american market. the picture in the middle shows the week in the modified e version. as the image shows, it is significantly larger. what effect as it has according to the study, the old version of the european jupiter, released an average of just over 20 micrograms per part. with each modified your point is around 3 times the amount of nicotine averaging over 60 micrograms,
6:49 pm
almost as much as the amount of nicotine delivered by the liquids in american devices. with a technical slate of hand, the company has succeeded in increasing the quantity of vaporized liquid list releases morning into the user inhales, where they will not be aware of this fact. this means that still decades later nicotine manipulation continues to play a major role in the industry from filter gates to which the filter is to tobacco cigarettes. the wic is to the jewel e cigarette. the tobacco industry seems to keep finding ways to stretch consumer protection laws to that limits helpful therapies and politics have for a long time tried to put obstacles in their way in 2003. remember, states of the world health assembly adopted the w h o framework convention on
