5:30 pm
tubs generally anywhere. so how a profit still being posted by big tobacco, short doc, nicotine, an addictive drug, offer some thoughts? excellent. mm hm. driven by a dream shaped banker senators with who dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, who got they got by the apple. ne, get a quote man. he believes keith is going to push and push it if i had a few,
5:31 pm
but i just somebody somebody from a few minutes ago, but it was 3 to what i still love with it at the but i booked a believe about give hope. all right, so i'm what you, what we believe if you know, if this was our partner with you, i would like it. but you're a pretty weaker lia from a brush up the documents that are in your booth can so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely
5:32 pm
excruciating. but nobody slain finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was stationed in mosul. among them were stress positions, sleep deprivation, ah, inducing hypothermia. there's already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrants and children, whatever you do or more comes from home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. the moral authority, the made america leader sucker fudge of the shimmer of effective interrogation less than one year ago, the 17 year old from detroit underwent a double lung transplant. previously, daniel had assumed that e cigarettes were harmless,
5:33 pm
at least that's what he had always heard. i didn't think it was dangerous. i just thought the worst that had happened was me getting addicted to nicotine, which at the time it didn't seem like a big deal to me because i was just a kid does do stupid things on the i'm the only really are like ours is heard that it was a healthy alternative to cigarettes like, oh, it won't hurt you. it's as good for you. stuff like that. like early wasn't sure that 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 night i went to the
5:34 pm
e r and this is the 1st day i ever had symptoms and it just went like down from there. and i forgot everything that happened for 50 days. and i are new on like literally just out of nowhere just kind of happened. daniels long, 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 everly, resulting in the deaths of over 50 people. the cause of this severe lung damage is thought to be the victim. an e acetate, illegally used as a thickener in the cigarette liquids. new york's north shore hospital has also treated such patients. we were very happy with the cigarettes 1st came out because we were trying to get our smokers office cigarettes. we use us as an alternative. we gave them nicotine replacement in the us, and many patients felt like they were smoking cigarettes smoked a lot less or not at all. and we were happy that this was
5:35 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. mixed products are unlikely. 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, that the long 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 non specialist inflammation in the lungs of every patients is easily spotted on x rays and c t scans. you can see that there is
5:36 pm
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 sent. they're filled with this dense material that should not be there. this is a cat scan, we start at the top of the cat scans. this looks very much like normal lung starting at the top. and as we come down with the cat scan, we can see it more and more patches of white areas. both sides of his lungs are involved. both areas are getting wider and wider as we go down, making it very hard for oxygen to diffuse across these sick areas of lungs should never see the brown keel tree come 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 is healthy for your lungs as fresh air. as you said, everything else is a problem and causes one disease,
5:37 pm
everything. so these are the poles. after safety on sunday, i have already taken about 20 poles this morning at 830 and 9 am on. i have to take 2 more lunch time and then about 10 more at 9 p. m. like my old healthy body is now dependent on all these polls to even stay alive and be able to breathe. so that's like one of the main points. so kind of messes with me a lot of my head for daniels' mother, tommy, i'm in the new situation means constant pill counting. she's glad her son survived
5:38 pm
at all. since the incident, his immune system is practically non existent. it causes anxiety just to make sure that he's on, he's taking his meds when he should keep to keep bound. then you know, anti rejection. there's anti fungal, antiviral, 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 say that he watched him go through everything in stella, dick, debs and nicotine into fabbing. daniel had tried a variety of e cigarette products together with his friends. according to him,
5:39 pm
getting hold of them was no challenge. it's pretty easy for people to get them, especially around here, basically any fe, shop or anything like they don't card and they don't really care how old you are. 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 use, ye cigarettes have more heart attacks, they have more strokes, they have more one disease and you know, every year, as we learn more, the rish get higher and you know, i think we're not quite there yet, but in the end i think we're gonna realize isa garage sure about is dangerous to cigarettes, or professor sean tang works at the new york institute of environmental
5:40 pm
medicine. he and his team are studying the effects on mice of east cigarette vapor animals that inhaled the vapor for 12 weeks showed damage to the dna of the lung and heart. but what happens if the mice in hail, east cigarette vapor for an entire year? the researchers have also investigated this question and next it would be a days that way expose a mice for long period of time. because cancer usually did take a couple of decades to develop like a tobacco smoke carpet that ticket that they were. so your mouse termed with they had leather whip him for why year fisher almost. ah, one, no doubt they are. lifespan says 20 years or so. he human term. so would attempts as smoke at their weapon full, why year?
5:41 pm
$54.00 weeks. and then we'll open up when the science is looked at the animals organs. 9 out of 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 cigarettes had converted into carcinogenic substances in much the same way as in the burning of tobacco, is a long tumor, and alarming finding. nicotine appears far from harmless to health, as is claimed, nor does nicotine vaporize zation appear to protect against nitrous amine formations in the body. from our data is ready strongly supposed that nicotine is carcinogenic in mice, m red potentia in human because they're mechanism, they make it a casa tumor. is a go through then i just, i'm me and i chose our me has been proven yes. at animal casino jane,
5:42 pm
as well as human carcinogen. despite the vibrant advertising campaigns and the cutting edge design of the devices, e cigarettes may not be as harmless as the manufacturers suggest. what we found this, that if we're with smoke tobacco similar among the but nicotine, compare that is sugar it. the deer are dark d n a damage, you will observe very similar. and then you start on that the inner repair over the summer and the inhibitor protein are very similar. so that's right. i think it there we have to be very, very careful to make that recommendation ah mission. delores park in san 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 in the park as is raping or smoking
5:43 pm

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. and we're doing a jewel hot box. well, i comes in your 2nd. ah ah, but then that makes no sense. you know, born is a tease. and you various as a merge, we don't have a therapy. we don't have a vaccine,
