The American Lung Association said on Wednesday that it is advocating to the FDA to take action to reduce what it calls "false" claims that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative to smoking tobacco. The American Lung Association has a campaign known as "Quit. Don't Switch," which encourages smokers to quit altogether rather than switch to vaping. Vaping, the American Lung Association says, should not be considered a safer alternative to smoking tobacco. "One of the biggest problems with e-cigarettes is that many people have switched to e-cigarettes believing it will help them quit tobacco products, which it doesn't," says Albert A Rizzo, M.D., American Lung Association Chief Medical Officer. "Many of them become dual users, meaning they smoke cigarettes when they can and use vaping devices at other times." Rizzo said that e-cigarettes are having a negative effect on reducing smoking rates by introducing young people to smoking who might be attracted to the products due to the flavors. "E-cigarettes have not been found to be safe and effective in helping smokers quit," Dr. Rizzo said. "They were designed to appeal to people who wanted to use something beside a cigarette, or in addition to a cigarette. Instead of helping smokers quit, e-cigarettes have rapidly created another generation addicted to tobacco products by marketing products that appeal to kids, including flavored products like gummy bear, unicorn blood and bubble gum – even apple juice." 1481

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has granted executive clemency to Cyntoia Brown by commuting her life sentence.The governor's office announced the decision Monday morning. She will be released to parole supervision on August 7, 2019, after serving 15 years in prison.“This decision comes after careful consideration of what is a tragic and complex case,” Haslam said. “Cyntoia Brown committed, by her own admission, a horrific crime at the age of 16. Yet, imposing a life sentence on a juvenile that would require her to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life. Transformation should be accompanied by hope. So, I am commuting Ms. Brown’s sentence, subject to certain conditions.”As part of her parole, she cannot violate any state or federal laws and will be subject to a release plan approved by the Tennessee Department of Correction and special supervision conditions, including employment, education, counseling and community engagement requirements.Brown's parole supervision will continue until August 7, 2029, at which point her sentence will expire.In 2006, she was convicted of first-degree murder, felony murder and aggravated robbery in the killing of Antioch realtor Johnny Allen.She was sentenced to life in prison. At the time of the crime, she was 16-years-old. Advocates have said that Brown, now 30, was a victim of sex trafficking and shot the 43-year-old in self-defense. The man she killed 1590

The catastrophic fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral could have been caused by a burning cigarette or an electrical malfunction, French prosecutors said Wednesday.A preliminary investigation into the April fire, which devastated large parts of the 850-year-old church, found no signs that the blaze was started deliberately, Paris prosecutor Remy Heitz said in a statement.Investigators carried out a hundred witness hearings during the preliminary investigation, which concluded on Wednesday, Heitz said.Prosecutors are now looking into the possibility of negligence and said they were opening a judicial investigation."If certain failings -- which may explain the scale of the fire -- have been brought to light, the investigations carried out to this date have not been able to determine the causes of the fire," Heitz said.Heitz said the judicial investigation would be carried out "on the grounds of involuntary damage by fire due to a manifestly deliberate breach of a duty of care or safety imposed by law or regulation, which occurred under conditions likely to expose persons to bodily harm." 1110

The city of El Paso, Texas spent the day grieving and paying respects to the victims killed in a mass shooting Saturday. Multiple vigils were held in the city, honoring the 20 people who lost their lives after a gunman opened fire at a Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall. Police received calls reporting a gunman in the area just after 10:30 a.m. local time.Bishop Jesus Ibarra held a special mass Sunday at La Paz Faith Memorial and Spiritual Center. “It hurts me to see the extent of violence, especially when it’s people who have nothing to do with the events that happened,” Bishop Ibarra said.The shooting hit the community hard. Twenty roses were displayed for the 20 lives lost in the attack. It’s a scene the bishop could have witnessed in person had he followed his usual routine. “That’s my Walmart,” he explained. “Every first Saturday of the month, I go stock up. I’m there from 9 to 11:30, but I didn’t go that day.” Members of the community gather at the vigils, looking for ways they can help.“Pretty tough, but all we can do now is remain together and don’t change who we are as people,” said the bishop, as he wiped away his tears.Perches Funeral Home, which is part of the La Paz Faith church, is working to help the families of the victims. “Everyone is putting their own part, so we are going to be offering the family free services for their loved ones,” said Jorge Ortiz with the funeral home.Ortiz says the El Paso community is based off love and unity, and love is needed more than ever in El Paso. “Without love, there is nothing,” said Bishop Ibarra. “We are nothing.” 1607

The death of George Floyd while in the custody of four Minneapolis police officers was “criminal,” the Major Cities Chiefs Association said in a statement on Monday. The association consists of dozens of chiefs of police from large American and Canadian cities. The letter was signed by dozens of chiefs of police throughout North America. “The death of George Floyd was, by any measure of professional policing unnecessary, avoidable and criminal,” the letter read. The chiefs released the letter on Monday as unrest over Floyd’s death and the treatment of African Americans by law enforcement has continued in recent days. The chiefs acknowledge now is the time to listen to communities of color who are concerned about the treatment of African Americans by law enforcement. One officer, Derek Chauvin, was charged with Floyd's death. Three other officers have not been charged, but are under investigation.Here is the letter in full:The death of George Floyd was, by any measure of professional policing unnecessary, avoidable and criminal. As leaders of the largest local law enforcement organizations in the United States and Canada, we must be honest about our history and ask ourselves tough questions before we are able to offer the right answers. A history dating back over two centuries that has included institutional racism and more recently, a history that during the civil rights movement over 50 years ago, included injustices and police brutality against African Americans who were fighting for equal rights and equal protections. We need to hear what America is telling us right now and we need to take bold and courageous action to change the narrative of our history as it relates to the disparate impact and outcomes that policing has had - and continues to have - on African Americans, people of color and the disenfranchised. We have had versions of this conversation before. Names echo to police and communities alike - Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Philando Castile, Jeremy Mardis and instances where African American men and women have unjustly lost their lives at the hands of police officers. Each of these cases raised different concerns, but collectively they add new and painful chapters to our history that compels all of us to take inventory and be held accountable. Accountability must continue to be the cornerstone of tangible and substantive change and ethical policing. We commend Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo for taking decisive and necessary action by immediately firing the four officers. Understanding every chief’s administrative authorities are different and not everyone may be legally permitted to immediately terminate an officer’s employment, we expect every major city chief to take every action within their legal authority to hold officers accountable. The balance of labor and management is often out of calibration. Contracts and labor laws hamstring efforts to swiftly rid departments of problematic behavior and as law enforcement executives, we call for a review of those contracts and laws. It will take strong leadership from all of us as well as collaborative partnerships from leaders from all walks of life and all levels. Actions matter and so do words. Provocative statements create tension that lead to danger for police officers and the public. During challenging times, leaders need to reassure and calm, not instigate and stoke discord. Let us be the example for all leaders to follow. More than anything, this is a time for us to help facilitate healing, learning, listening and then dialogue, particularly in communities of color. Police departments, because of the nature of their work in a constantly changing democracy, have proven to be the most adaptive and agile agencies in municipal government. The Major Cities Chiefs Association will be a catalyst for these conversations, a resource for our members searching for best practices and a voice in the national discourse on race relations, policing and reform. 4007
