State seeks heavier
regulation, increased
study of side effects
(AP) — California health offi-
cials Wednesday declared elec-
tronic cigarettes a health threat
that should be strictly regulated
like tobacco products, joining
other states and health advo-
cates across the U.S. in seek-
ing tighter controls as “vaping”
grows in popularity.
The California Department of
Public Health report says e-cig-
arettes
emit
cancer-causing
chemicals and get users hooked
on nicotine but acknowledges
that more research needs to be
done to determine the imme-
diate and long-term health
effects.
“E-cigarettes
are
not
as
harmful as conventional ciga-
rettes,
but
e-cigarettes
are
not harmless” said California
Health Officer Ron Chapman.
“They are not safe.”
New generations of young
people will become nicotine
addicts if the products remain
largely unregulated, Chapman
said. Last year, 17 percent of
high school seniors reported
using
e-cigarettes,
known
as vaping, according to the
report.
“Without action, it is likely
that California’s more than two
decades of progress to prevent
and reduce traditional tobacco
use will erode as e-cigarettes
re-normalize smoking behav-
ior,” the report says.
E-cigarettes heat liquid nico-
tine into inhalable vapor with-
out the tar and other chemicals
found in traditional cigarettes.
A cartridge of nicotine can cost
anywhere from $5 to $20 dol-
lars and can be reused.
California banned the sale of
e-cigarettes to minors in 2010,
but the report raises concerns
about the products appeal to
children with flavors such as
cotton candy and gummy bear.
Reports of children under 5
with
e-cigarette
poisoning
jumped from seven in 2012 to
154 last year.
The California report says
e-cigarettes emit as many as 10
toxic chemicals, but advocates
say there is no evidence those
substances are released at dan-
gerous levels.
“Despite the health officer’s
false claims, there is ample evi-
dence that vaping helps smokers
quit and is far less hazardous
than smoking,” Gregory Con-
ley, president of the e-cigarette
advocacy
group
American
Vaping Association, said in an
email. “Smokers deserve truth-
ful and accurate information
about the relative risks of dif-
ferent nicotine products, not
hype and conjecture based on
cherry-picked reports.”
Health officials called for
restrictions on the marketing
and sale of e-cigarettes, protec-
tions against accidental inges-
tion of liquid nicotine and an
education campaign on the dan-
gers of using e-cigarettes.
A state senator introduced
legislation this week that would
regulate e-cigarettes as tobacco
products and ban their use in
public places such as hospitals,
bars and schools. A similar bill
was defeated last year over
opposition from tobacco com-
panies.
Chapman, the health official,
would not take a position on leg-
islation, but said his department
would be rolling out an e-ciga-
rette awareness campaign with
possible television and radio
advertisements.
E-cigarettes have become more
visible as they grow in popularity
and commercials for the products
air in places where traditional
cigarette ads have been banned.
Businesses related to e-ciga-
rettes, including vaping loung-
es, are rapidly popping up in
cities across California.
E-cigarettes classified as
health risk in California
Attorney general
nominee seperates
herself from Pres.
Obama in testimony
(AP) — Confronting skeptical
Republicans, attorney general
nominee Loretta Lynch pledged
a new start with Congress and
independence from President
Barack Obama Wednesday, even
as she defended the president’s
unilateral protections for mil-
lions of immigrants in the coun-
try illegally.
“If confirmed as attorney
general, I would be myself. I
would be Loretta Lynch,” the
nominee told her Senate confir-
mation hearing as Republicans
showered criticism on the cur-
rent occupant of the job, Eric
Holder. They said Holder was
contemptuous of Congress and
too politically close to Obama,
and
repeatedly
demanded
assurances that Lynch would do
things differently.
“You’re not Eric Holder, are
you?” Texas Republican John
Cornyn, one of the current
attorney general’s most persis-
tent critics, asked at one point.
“No, I’m not, sir,” Lynch
responded with a smile.
It was a moment that summed
up a Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee hearing that was often more
about Obama and Holder than
about Lynch, who is now the top
federal prosecutor for parts of
New York City and Long Island.
If confirmed, she would become
the nation’s first black female
attorney general.
Holder, Cornyn contended,
“operated as a politician using the
awesome power conferred by our
laws on the attorney general.”
Lynch asked the senator to
take note of “the independence
that I’ve always brought to
every particular matter,” and
she said that when merited she
would say no to Obama.
On
immigration,
Lynch
faced
numerous
questions
from Republicans critical of
the administration’s new poli-
cy granting work permits and
temporary deportation relief
to some 4 million people who
are in the country illegally. The
committee chairman, Repub-
lican Chuck Grassley of Iowa,
called the effort “a dangerous
abuse of executive authority.”
Lynch
said
she
had
no
involvement in drafting the
measures but called them “a
reasonable way to marshal lim-
ited resources to deal with the
problem” of illegal immigration.
She said the Homeland Security
Department was focusing on
removals of “the most danger-
ous of the undocumented immi-
grants among us.”
Pressed by Sen. Jeff Sessions
of Alabama, a leading immigra-
tion hard-liner, she said citizen-
ship was not a right for people
in the country illewgally but
rather a privilege that must be
earned. However, when Ses-
sions asked whether individu-
als in the country legally or
those who are here unlawfully
have more of a right to a job,
Lynch replied, “The right and
the obligation to work is one
that’s shared by everyone in this
country regardless of how they
came here.”
Sessions quickly issued a
news release to highlight that
response. Under later question-
ing by Democratic Sen. Chuck
Schumer of New York, Lynch
clarified it, stating there is no
right to work for an immigrant
who has no lawful status.
