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."

"What's more, I think that to teach gun safety in gang-ridden inner cities would go a long ways towards reducing gun violence. Just a couple days ago a young father was killed by the police in downtown Portland, when they stumbled upon a shootout between that young father and several other young men.
It's quite common for drug gang members as well as those who merely think looking like a ganger member is cool to own big, powerful guns as well as to flaunt them publicly, to pose with them for photos and so on.
Were they all taught proper gun safety, I expect that at least some of them, if not actually choosing not to own a gun, wouldn't carry guns with them everywhere they go, and so wouldn't open fire on some other gang member just because he happens to be a member of a different gang."
this is so stupid it seems like a troll.
