distances the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk oh, good. i got a sick day marathon of creativity, a multi cultural festival. and the biggest variety is that competition for a few days, became a russian cultural capital. 28 categories. ahh,
7:31 pm
from violin and piano, to the parenting and data protection. not used just throwing up a little over water. sure, you know, if you could get some kind of a 3 or for them to be here, they filter when read an or content the delta games only take the very best of the best buy i 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,
7:32 pm
at least that's what he had always heard. i didn't think it was dangerous. i thought the worst that had happened was maybe getting addicted to nicotine, which at that time it didn't seem like they feel to me cuz i get 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 sure 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 e cigarettes. daniel consumed the same products as his friends. none of them have experienced any issues. but for daniel in the september of 2019 his life took a dramatic turn that and i went to the e r and this is the 1st day i ever had symptoms and it just went down from there.
7:33 pm
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 lung 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 this severe lung damage is thought to be the victim. an acetate illegally used as a thickener in the e cigarette liquids. new york's north shore hospital has also treated such patients . we were very happy when isa gretz 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
7:34 pm
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. mix 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 in. the lung biopsies have given us different results for different patients. so we don't have 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,
7:35 pm
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 start at 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 the sick areas of lungs should never see the bronx tree come out like this. none of it is good for our lungs. we know that an all of these products, patient's lungs are fighting to decrease the inflammatory response fighting to clear what, what they're taking. and so the only thing that really your lungs are supposed to take in and is healthy for your lungs is fresh air. as you said, everything else is a problem and causes lung disease everything. so
7:36 pm
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 me. a lot of my head for daniel's mother, tommy, and then the new situation means constant pill counting. she's glad her son survives at all. since the incident, his immune system is practically non existent,
7:37 pm
it causes anxiety, just make sure that he's on he's taking is to keep, to keep on. and you know, 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 still addicted. so it's really sad when you see that he watched him go through everything and fell addicted to like a pain into painting. daniel had tried a variety of e cigarette products together with his friends, according to him,
7:38 pm
getting hold of them with 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 london sees. and you know, every year, as we learn more, 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 or about is dangerous to cigarettes. our professor sean works at the new york institute of
7:39 pm
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, expose the mice for long period time because kids are usually to take a couple of decades to develop like tobacco smoke up the ticket to so your mouse the term with the lead weapon for one year. fisher almost one. so that the lifespan, so 20 years or so human term. so we did them as smoke at the weapon full. why? year? 54 weeks. and then we'll open up. when the scientists looked at the animals organs,
7:40 pm
9 out of the 40 mice had developed a lunch human. the scientists also found evidence of the possible development of bladder cancer. the nicotine from the e cigarettes had converted into constant genic substances in much the same way as in the burning of tobacco. tumor alarming finding the nicotine a p as far from harmless to health as is cleaned, nor does nicotine vaporize ation appear to protect against nitrous amine formations in the body from all data ready, shawny. suppose the nicotine is constant genic in mice and where the potential in human because the mechanism they make a casa tumor is to go through. then i just, i'm in and i chose, i me, has been proven animal castanon in as well as human customer
