sanjay gupta takes a look at the problem and potential solutions. >> reporter: when the e-cigarettes it's a relatively new phenomenon, it wasn't clear how it would impact young people. the data trends this year has inspired a lot of new recommendations for the crackdown here. nearly 80% increase in use among high schoolers. nearly 50% in use among middle schoolers. those are pretty staggering numbers. all along it's been a balance, according to the fda and the commissioner. look, maybe these e-cigarettes have a role in helping people stop smoking, but if people, especially young people, start smoking as a result, that's a balance they don't want to tolerate. this is what he had to say -- >> we know that some proportion of kids who initiate to nicotine will start with e-cigarettes. all of the work getting smoking rates down among kids, there's a threat that that's going to be reversed if we don't do something about it. >> reporter: and something else to punctuate with this. 90% of people who become lifelong smokers start before the age of 18. 95% start before the age of 21. only 1% of

sanjay gupta's series takes a look at marijuana's potential as medicine.rug is available by prescription here in the united states. so is this a turning point? it seems like a big deal. >> i think it is a big deal. typically, you have science comes first and then you see the cultural impact of that. you see the social impact. here you have had a situation where culturally, socially, legally at the state level people voting on using marijuana as medicine. here is how it happened. in 2013 i first realized the possibility of marijuana as a medicine when i met charlotte and her mother, paige. this is charlotte in the throws of a seizure. nothing made them stop, until they tried cbd, a compound used in cannabis. >> she didn't have a seizure that day. and then she didn't have a seizure that night. i thought this is insane. >> it worked for charlotte and so many other children. but at the time, parents were forced to concoct the medicine in their kitchen sinks, unsure of the dosing. good parents who would do anything to try and help their children. like john and

joining us now is sanjay gupta. it is great to have you here.aking new development. >> i think this is the way cancer treatments are going to go. this is a big deal. because people have been talking about this for a while, but instead of calling cancers a breast cancer or a prostate cancer or whatever, they will start calling them by what really is causing the cancer, which is the mutation. there is a certain mutation that causes that cancer to grow. it doesn't matter where it is in the body. you don't treat the tissue. you are treating the mutation itself. and i think that's a big deal. and, you know, it can be the same mutation in totally different parts of the body. now we think to actually look to those mutations as opposed to looking at the tissue itself. >> how do you know if this type of treatment works for you? >> so what we're talking about here is if you are looking at a certain type of cancer, you would actually basically map the cancer out. instead of just looking at an image like a cat scan or something, let's look down at the dna o

sanjay gupta joins me now. sanjay, correct me if i'm wrong, big picture, the u.s. decades worked really hard to convince teenagers and tweens to not smoke cigarettes and they were very successful, it worked, until e-cigarettes came along, and now all that progress seems at risk. >> yeah. i think that's a very fair characterization, jake. i mean, i think we're still talking about a relatively new phenomenon with the e-cigarettes and in the beginning it wasn't clear. what's the trend going to be? are young people going to start using the e-cigarettes and start using real cigarettes as a result? i think the statistic that got everybody fired up about this, jake, is that 78% increase in use of these e-cigs among high schoolers. 78%. 48% increase in use among middle schoolers. that's the real concern, that they are starting to useth e-cigarettes. might they go on to smoke combustible or real cigarettes? here's how the fda commissioner scott gotlieb put it the. >> all the recent gains we've made getting smoking rates down among kids, there's a threat that will be reverse

devina gupta is in the middle of all this. polluted cities and air i'm breathing is filled with sulphur, nitrogen and a particle matter called pm 2.5. the level of that today is at severe. it's almost 50 times the prescribed safe limit by the world health organization. some of the side effects of this air is that i get tingling and my throat and causing burning and my eyes start watering after a few minutes, the main reason for this pollution is because of farmers clear their crop area by burning the residue. and because the wind is less, they are get locked in a creates a small pockets of smoking are in the city. the other big reason is vehicular pollution and the festive season diwali which is around the corner where many burn fireworks adding to the worsening air quality. demand for pollution masks like this one is shooting up customers are buying these masks at about $50 to filter the toxic air they inhale. but experts say they're not 100% effective. the indian government is also ordering all the construction activity arou

the house and to try to thwart trump's agenda over the final two years of his four year term credit gupta has more on what's up for grabs the u.s. midterms are held every two years between presidential elections and as seen as a nationwide referendum on whoever is in the white house this year it's no different donald trump isn't on the ballot but in many ways says he and his presidency are the main issues on voters' minds. so here's what's a stake in congress which is the country's legislature it splits between the house of representatives of the lower house and the senate which is the upper house in these elections all four hundred thirty five seats in the house are up for grabs the much number for a majority here is two hundred eighteen right now the republicans have an edge over the democrats with two hundred thirty six seats there are also six vacancies now the senate this time thirty five seats are being contested here the republicans have a slim majority most of the contests it sees democrats are trying to hold onto our interim friendly states and they need fifty one seats to take c
