F.D.A. Seizes Documents From Juul Headquarters
The Food and Drug Administration conducted a surprise inspection of the headquarters of the e-cigarette maker Juul Labs last Friday, carting away more than a thousand documents it said were related to the company's sales and marketing practices.
The move, announced on Tuesday, was seen as an attempt to ratchet up pressure on the company, which controls 72 percent of the e-cigarette market in the United States and whose products have become popular in high schools. The F.D.A. said it was particularly interested in whether Juul deliberately targeted minors as consumers.
"The new and highly disturbing data we have on youth use demonstrates plainly that e-cigarettes are creating an epidemic of regular nicotine use among teens," the F.D.A. said in a statement. "It is vital that we take action to understand and address the particular appeal of, and ease of access to, these products among kids."

"Shooting redcoats will just make things worse for New World colonists".
By beating the crap out of two men and breaking a psychiatrist's eyeglasses in two I made a statement: to forcibly inject Zyprexa is morally reprehensible.
My violent defense against Zyprexa won't all by itself lead them to stop forcing it on us, but it will contribute to that happening some fine day.
Just now I read that a whole bunch of women are blocking the streets around Portland's Federal courthouse by lying on said streets. The have a specific list of demands - stop appointing rapists to SCOTUS and the like.
"blocking traffic with their own bodies will just make things worse" because they'll all get arrested. I expect most of them will take it to the jury despite being unquestionably guilty, again just to make a point by burdening our legal system.
I'd join them but my strange reluctance ever to join anyone's protest eventually led me to conclude that Collective Action is simply _not_ the way I work, rather it is Individual Journalism: lots of folks love to hate my writing but the fact is, my essays articles rants and manifestos are wildly popular and have been for twenty years.
By hanging out on SN and Facebook for by now twenty-one hours, I've posted the rough drafts to ten or twelve essays that I will later copy down to my desktop mark up and fix up, then publish on my website. All but a few of my screeds started that way - mostly as replies to someones Series Of Tubes post.
