MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM) THAT MUSIC MEANS ITS TIME FOR DOC SHOC. A TIME WHEN WE FIND SOMETHING SHOCKING IN THE NEWS OR WE’RE SHOCKED IT MADE THE NEWS.

New research on e-cigarettes is making the news.  University of California, San Francisco looked at the danger to teens. While e-cigarettes were meant to be a way to wean adults off regular cigarettes, it appears to be a gateway for teens that leads to smoking and drug use. They found that teens can also become addicted to e-cigarettes, but that is not the worst of it. They looked at 104 teens with an average age of just over 16 years. 67 were e-cigarette users, 17 used e-cigarettes as well as traditional cigarettes, and 20 did not smoke or vape and were used as the controls. Teenagers who vaped had a three times higher concentration of toxic compounds in their bodies. In the case of teenagers who used both tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes, the concentration of toxic chemicals in the body was an additional three times higher than those who only vaped. It seems to have a compounding affect. It also turns out that some of these flavors, though FDA approved in their natural state become carcinogenic when they’re heated.
