| India on Wednesday took the decision to ban e-cigarettes |
New York became the second US state to ban flavored e-cigarettes Tuesday, following several vaping-linked deaths that have raised fears about a product long promoted as less harmful than smoking.
A health
council passed emergency legislation proposed by Governor Andrew Cuomo
outlawing flavored vaping products amid an outbreak of severe pulmonary disease
that has killed seven people and sickened hundreds.
The ban
comes into force with immediate effect. Michigan became the first state to
declare a ban earlier this month, but that law has yet to be implemented.
"It is
undeniable that vaping companies are deliberately using flavors like bubblegum,
Captain Crunch and cotton candy to get young people hooked on e-cigarettes --
it's a public health crisis and it ends today," said Cuomo.
President
Donald Trump's administration announced last week that it would soon ban
flavored e-cigarette products to stem a rising tide of youth users.
The move
could later be extended to an outright prohibition of vaping if adolescents
migrate to tobacco flavors, seen as more legitimate products that help smokers
quit their habit, said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates
e-cigarettes.
"New
York is not waiting for the federal government to act, and by banning flavored
e-cigarettes we are safeguarding the public health and helping prevent
countless young people from forming costly, unhealthy and potentially deadly
life-long habits," Cuomo added.
Popular
with adolescents
Shops in
New York now have two weeks to remove vaping products from their shelves. The
ban does not prohibit menthol or tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes.
E-cigarettes
have been available in the US since 2006 and are sometimes used as an aid to
quit smoking traditional tobacco products like cigarettes.
Their use
among adolescents has skyrocketed in recent years: some 3.6 million middle and
high school students used vaping products in 2018, an increase of 1.5 million
on the year before.
The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently that there were now more than
450 possible cases of pulmonary illness associated with vaping in the US.
The CDC has
cautioned against vaping as officials investigate the precise cause of the
deaths. No single substance has been found to be present in all the laboratory
samples being examined.
New York's
health department found very high levels of vitamin E oil in cannabis
cartridges used by dozens of people in the state who had fallen ill after using
e-cigarettes.
Vitamin E
is a commonly used nutritional supplement but is dangerous when inhaled.
San
Francisco, the home of market leader Juul Labs, became the first American city
to ban e-cigarettes in June last year.
The FDA has
warned Juul to stop advertising itself as a less harmful alternative to
smoking, noting in particular the company's attempts to attract young people.
You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.
In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?
Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.
What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. ...”
