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."

The reason I'm so sternly opposed to Zyprexa is because a witch doctor spent an entire year discussing with me whether he should prescribed it. From the very start he warned me that it could cause diabetes.
You are correct in a sense, in that it is common for the mentally ill to be diabetic: many psychiatric medicines increase one's appetite, and it is very common for mental illnesses to lead one to be totally lethargic - catatonic even - to the point that I myself have on several occasions spent a couple months on the couch, never getting up other than to use the can or to eat.
But neither that lethargy nor that appetite was what causes Zyprexa's diabetes: if you take Zyprexa it will directly elevate your blood sugar. Enough of that and your cells will defend themselves by decreasing their response to Insulin, whose function is to catalyze the absorption of sugar by our cells.
Enough Insulin resistance and its _permanent_.
