Creating vape juice, the liquid inside e-cigarettes, is a complicated process, that someone like George Cassels-Smith can talk for hours about. Cassels-Smith’s knowledge of e-juice and the electronic tobacco business stems from his family’s long history in traditional tobacco. In the early 1900s, his great grandfather ran a company around flavoring cigarettes. His father took the business over and eventually, it fell into his hands after his father passed. “I lost my father due to cigarettes,” said Cassels-Smith. “He was a lifetime smoker. He had three heart attacks and two strokes and cancer twice, and that’s why I entered into manufacturing e-juice.”The family business is now eLiquidTech, located outside Maryland. “I’d like to try and help people with their nicotine dependence with a safer alternative,” he said.When it comes to the safety of vaping, the Centers for Disease Control says almost 1,500 people around the country with a reported a history of vaping have been hospitalized with acute lung illnesses. More than two dozen people have died from it. “For the last 10 years, there have been relatively no health risk associated with it or very low,” said Cassels-Smith. “Now, all of a sudden, people are dropping like flies. What has been new that’s been introduced?”The CDC is still trying to figure that out. However, that question bothered George Cassels-Smith so much, he decided to test every product eLiquidTech makes. The test revealed, “that we were not introducing a biological problem to the agents that we compound.”Weeks of talking with other vaping manufacturers and industry insiders has left Cassels-Smith believing the cause of the outbreak may stem from black-market products or people introducing additional substances to legally manufactured vaping products. His strongest suggested culprit is THC. “I have a hypothesis that it is cannabis related,” Cassels-Smith said. “Those are oil-based products for delivering big aerosol, as opposed to PG glycerin-based, which is for making nicotine products.”Around 78 percent of the people who have come down with vaping related illness, or who have died, have reported using THC liquids in their e-cigarettes. However, the CDC has not definitively pointed to that being the cause of this outbreak. The CDC’s current statement on the cause of the rash of recent lung illnesses and deaths is, “At this time, FDA and CDC have not identified the cause or causes of the lung injuries in these cases, and the only commonality among all cases is that patients report the use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products.”“I would ask the CDC and the FDA to carefully look at the delineation into scrutinize what these elements are associated with,” said Cassels-Smith. “We need to do more effort to find out what is exactly doing this.” Answers would help eLiquidTech’s business, which typically it produces 80,000 to 100,000 kilos of vape juice. But this month, it is only projected to produce 10,000. Answers would also help George-Cassel Smith’s conscience. “With people dying, I need answers. I need to sleep well at night,” he said. “I am doing everything I can to make sure I am not part of the problem.”But most importantly, answer would help families, losing love ones around the country from vaping related illnesses. 3305

DENVER, Colo. -- Passengers' fears over the possible spread of the new coronovirus appear to be the cause of a plane's unscheduled landing. Officials said a group of people became disruptive because a neighboring passenger was coughing and sneezing on Sunday's flight from Eagle County, Colorado, to Newark International Airport. The United Airlines plane diverted to Denver, where police officials told 416

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross violated his ethics agreement and submitted a financial disclosure form that "was not accurate," according to the Office of Government Ethics.Emory Rounds, the director of the Office of Government Ethics, wrote that Ross reported in his annual financial disclosure that he sold bank stock that other reports indicate he did not sell.That meant "the filer was therefore not in compliance with his ethics agreement at the time of the report," Rounds wrote.The watchdog group that drew attention to the report, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said OGE declining to certify a report "does not normally happen.""With OGE declining to certify, that's a pretty giant red flag," the group's spokesman, Jordan Libowitz, told CNN.Richard Painter, a former ethics attorney for President George W. Bush, told CNN he has never seen a Cabinet member's financial disclosure form rejected in this way.Instead, he said, agencies sometimes send a draft financial disclosure form to OGE for review. If issues arise, they are dealt with behind the scenes. Painter believes the fact that the Ross matter wasn't handled this way is a sign OGE is trying to send a strong message to Ross.The document is a routine financial disclosure form posted online by OGE. The decision to decline it is dated February 15.In a letter to the Commerce Department's in-house ethics official, Rounds wrote the 2018 financial disclosure report is "not accurate" and that Ross is "not in compliance with his ethics agreement at the time of the report." Rounds also wrote that it is his understanding that Ross's paperwork was being sent to the inspector general's office for review.Ross said in a statement, "While I am disappointed that my report was not certified, I remain committed to complying with my ethics agreement and adhering to the guidance of Commerce ethics officials." 1906

Carrying a lethal weapon onto church property was considered "inappropriate" under the policies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Now, it's prohibited.The tweaked language can be seen in the church's "Handbook 2," which says: "Churches are dedicated for the worship of God and as havens from the cares and concerns of the world. With the exception of current law enforcement officers, the carrying of lethal weapons on church property, concealed or otherwise, is prohibited."The previous rule said the carrying of lethal weapons was inappropriate.Lethal weapons include a number of possible items including guns, said Daniel Woodruff,a spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.The handbook update took effect in the first week of August, Woodruff said, but the change will be formally communicated to local Church leaders as new meetinghouse safety guidelines in the near future.Those leaders will then be responsible for sharing the guidelines with their members, he added.The change applies to the entire church, but due to a Texas law change regarding firearms in places of worship, a letter referencing the prohibition was recently sent to church leaders in Texas and shared with members, Woodruff said.Next month, a new law will go into effect in Texas which will allow licensed handgun owners to legally carry their weapons in places of worship.It's one of a string of new firearm laws that will take effect across Texas next month, further loosening gun restrictions in a state that already has some of the most lax weapons laws in the nation.One of those laws will disallow school districts from prohibiting licensed gun owners -- including school employees -- from storing a firearm or ammunition in a locked vehicle on a school parking lot, as long as they're not in plain view. Another will allow foster homes to store firearms and ammunition in a safe and secure place for personal protection.The handbook tweak isn't the first change the church has seen in recent years.It's undergone many others, including dropping the moniker "Mormon," cutting an hour from Sunday church meetings, allowing missionaries to contact their families more often, ending the church's 100-year association with the Boy Scouts and dropping an anti-LGBT policy from 2015, saying children of same-sex couples can be baptized. 2365

CLEVELAND — Dry eye condition occurs when there aren’t enough tears to lubricate the eye. If not treated, it can lead to other serious infections in the eye, and although it is managed, it can never be fully eliminated. It’s typically a diagnosis for older patients, but doctors are noticing a change.“Twenty-two years ago, when I started, most of the patients with dry eye disease were the pre-menopausal females or patients who were on significant medications, like antihistamines, that dried their eyes out,” said Dr. Tom Chester of the Cleveland Eye Clinic. But Chester says that’s not the case anymore.“We are seeing a preponderance in younger patients,” he said. “Maybe patients in their 20s, 30s, even teenagers. Actually, the youngest patient I’ve treated was an 8-year-old with dry eye disease.” He attributes the shift of younger and younger patients to increased screen time.“One of the biggest aspects about tablets and phones is that the patients don't blink, and so when they're not blinking, they're not causing the ocular surface to utilize the glands to produce a good tear film,” said Chester.That can lead to other conditions, like infections and scarring.Chester says it’s up to parents and caregivers to make sure kids are blinking when they’re using electronics. Experts suggest limiting screen time.“The one thing about children and teens, in particular, is they don’t typically complain about their eye health. So, it’s important for parents or caregivers to watch or pay attention to the children, or even teachers to pay attention. If they see a lot of eye rubbing, if they see a lot of blinking, or squeezing, it could be because the surface is irritated, and the children don’t know any different, so they don’t know how to necessarily say ‘My eyes are dry,’ ” Chester said.He doesn’t anticipate this trend of younger kids diagnosed with the condition to go anywhere, anytime soon. 1921
