O smart pod é um modelo tecnológico de cigarro eletrônico que toca música, manda mensagens, propõe jogos e tem um design feito para atrair jovens consumidores. Em alguns casos, o dispositivo tem a forma de um animal de estimação virtual, no estilo tamagotchi, que morre se usuário decide parar de fumar. A invenção gera revolta entre os pneumologistas brasileiros, que já constatam um aumento do aparecimento precoce de doenças respiratórias entre os jovens adeptos do vape. Taíssa Stivanin, da RFI em Paris A pneumologista Fernanda Aguiar, coordenadora da Medicina Respiratória do Hospital Mater Dei, em Salvador, não esconde sua indignação após o aparecimento dos smart pods, ou smart vapes. Ela denuncia a invenção de um dispositivo elaborado com o único intuito de viciar os adolescentes cada vez mais cedo, expondo sua saúde a inúmeros riscos. “Que gênio do mal cria coisas assim para que as pessoas fiquem mais e mais dependentes?", questiona a especialista. "São estratégias do mal com um fim meramente comercial, às custas da dependência de uma droga: a nicotina”, afirma. Os novos formatos preocupam ainda mais os profissionais da saúde no Brasil, que já constatam o aumento de casos de doenças respiratórias entre jovens usuários do vape, que se popularizou entre os adolescentes muito antes do aparecimento do smart pod. “É impossível monitorar quais substâncias estão sendo inaladas. Existem várias misturas que não estão no nosso radar. O cigarro eletrônico não é algo que veio para minimizar danos. Pelo contrário: na visão dos pneumologistas, estamos potencializando esses danos. Se o cigarro eletrônico não for coibido, teremos muitas doenças respiratórias, em muita gente jovem, em pouco tempo”, avalia.  O cigarro eletrônico é proibido no Brasil desde 2009 pela Anvisa (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária), mas seu consumo continua crescendo entre os jovens. De cada cinco adolescentes, pelo menos um já utilizou algum tipo de vape no país, segundo dados recentes do Cetab (Centro de Estudos sobre Tabaco e Saúde da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz), da Fiocruz.  Com o aumento da fiscalização, o produto deixou de ser encontrado com facilidade nas grandes plataformas de e-commerce, mas ainda é acessível e achado até mesmo nas ruas.  O projeto de lei que regulamenta a produção e a comercialização dos cigarros eletrônicos no Brasil deve ser analisado pelo Senado ainda neste ano. “Existe uma discussão grande no Congresso e, de certa forma, um lobby da indústria do tabaco, que se reinventou para a aprovação e liberação desses produtos no país. Os pneumologistas e a Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia estão atuando para proteger nossos pacientes, principalmente crianças e adolescentes”, diz.  “O cigarro eletrônico vem com uma pegada, um desenho, um jeito, para atrair um público muito jovem, trazendo aí um malefício muito maior do que o relacionado ao cigarro convencional”, completa.  O produto surgiu com a promessa de ajudar os usuários a deixar de fumar. O dispositivo não traz os produtos de combustão do cigarro convencional, como o alcatrão. Em contrapartida, têm na composição nicotina em doses mais altas, além de outras substâncias usadas para dar sabor e cheiro agradáveis, que nem sempre correspondem ao que está descrito no rótulo.  “Tudo isso vai aquecido para o pulmão, gerando lesões agudas e crônicas em um público muito mais jovem. O resultado é que as pessoas começam a ter doenças respiratórias mais cedo do que usando um cigarro convencional.”  Dependência rápida e intensa Segundo a especialista, como a dose de nicotina no cigarro eletrônico em geral é mais alta, “a dependência é mais rápida e intensa”, lembra. “Consterna a gente ver adolescentes que chegam tão fissurados. Nesta faixa etária, eles têm um sistema nervoso central que ainda é imaturo, sendo alvo de uma carga alta de nicotina. Existem muitos casos de transtorno de ansiedade, depressão, além de outros problemas de doença mental. É uma dependência mais difícil de tratar.”  Além do câncer, há uma lista de riscos para a saúde gerados pelo uso do cigarro eletrônico, como o agravamento de doenças como a asma ou bronquite. Mas também existem patologias próprias ao vape, como a Evali, uma doença pulmonar grave, que pode gerar insuficiência respiratória com necessidade de intubação e ventilação mecânica, explica Fernanda.  Estudos mostram que a Evali é desencadeada por diluentes como o acetato de vitamina E, aromatizantes tóxicos e metais pesados, que, quando são aquecidos e inalados, causam danos ao tecido pulmonar.  Outra doença é o chamado pulmão de pipoca, descoberta inicialmente em trabalhadores de fábricas de pipoca de micro-ondas. Os sabores amanteigados usados no produto também são usados em cigarros eletrônicos e podem gerar o que a pneumologista brasileira descreve como uma bronquiolite.  Há também casos de enfisema em pacientes jovens, fibrose e outras lesões pulmonares. Dados também mostram que há um aumento do risco de neoplasias malignas, ou seja, cânceres de pulmão, em função do tempo e da intensidade do uso do vape.  Fernanda Aguiar ainda lembra dos efeitos que a nicotina provoca no sistema cardiovascular, que incluem o aumento da hipertensão e do risco de infarto e AVC. A intoxicação aguda por nicotina, lembra, também é um fenômeno comum em festas. “Os adolescentes usam a noite toda, intensamente. É uma intoxicação mesmo, que em alguns casos gera até convulsões”, alerta. 

Leo Donovan, CEO of WEEE Ireland, discusses the WEEE Annual Report for 2024.

The Government's confident it's getting on top of youth vaping, with more rules coming in today. New rules come in today including stricter advertising restrictions for vape retailers and a ban on disposable vapes. It's in an effort to clamp down on youth vaping, with around 10% of teenagers currently regular vapers. Associate Health Minister Casey Costello told Mike Hosking she believes we'll see further declines in youth vaping. She says Action for Smokefree data shows youth vaping rates have declined over the last three years. However, she says New Zealand isn't ready for a full crackdown, and Australia's prescription only approach won't work here. She says Pasifika and Māori continue to have the highest smoking rates, and reducing availability for those who aren't engaging with the health system is problematic.

Smokefree advocates are hoping a new vaping crackdown coming in today doesn't deter smokers trying to quit. The new rules include stricter advertising restrictions for vape retailers and a ban on disposable vapes. It's an effort to clamp down on youth vaping, with around 10% of teenagers currently regular vapers. Action for Smokefree Director Ben Youdan told Ryan Bridge it's about striking the right balance. He says just leaving products cheaper than smoking but not too cheap for young people, is important. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's been a lot of discussion and concerns about the long-term effects of vaping of late, especially regarding young people. New research has started to uncover potential long-term problems with vaping. What is the problem with vaping? It was introduced as a “quit smoking” tool and was accepted to be less harmful than smoking. Useful as a quit smoking tool, as a substitute for cigarettes . However, the growing issue in NZ is young people taking up vaping who would otherwise not smoke. Surveys indicate that 26.5% of 18–24-year-olds and 10% of 14–18-year-olds vape daily. Concerns if there would be long-term effects on these young people. Is it addictive? Many vapes have nicotine which is highly addictive. Increasing reports of people not being able to get off vapes. We know nicotine can cause concerns over brain development, increased risk of anxiety, raise blood pressure, and increased heartrates. Vapes can irritate the lungs, causing coughs and even some concerns over increased risk of collapsed lungs. A new study has started to shed light A new study out of Oxford University has identified long term harm from vaping alone. It followed nearly 250,000 individuals who vaped, over four years. Major finding: vapers are 2.29 times more likely to develop Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease – COPD. COPD is often referred to as emphysema: lungs stiffen, lots of mucous, recurrent infections, and reduced ability to get oxygen into the blood stream due to lung damage. Permanent damage. Among 30-70-year-olds, they're 1.39 times more likely to have high blood pressure. Implications of this? Obviously, it's an issue for the number of young teenagers taking up vaping and an emerging health issue overall. We need to think hard about our approach to vaping – Australia has made vaping prescription only. Restrictions have been put in place in New Zealand.

Researchers say the Vape industry and regulators needs to show they're taking consumer safety seriously. A study in today's Medical Journal shows more than half of vape juices have incorrectly labelled how much nicotine they contain. Most of the mislabelled products had significantly less nicotine than advertised – some by over 50%. Otago University Senior Research Fellow Jude Ball told Mike Hosking this is suggestive of widespread issues in manufacturing quality. She says New Zealand has strong regulations about what can and can't be in vape products, so the fact nicotine levels are way off raises concerns.

In de ministerkamer in Den Haag bespreken ze de urgentie van preventiebeleid: hoe maken we de gezonde keuze de makkelijke keuze? Karremans licht zijn strategie toe aan de hand van zeven leefomgevingen, zoals scholen, supermarkten en recreatieplekken. Ook reageert hij op de opbrengsten van de Glazen Spreekkamer-actie, waarin meer dan duizend Nederlanders hun ideeën en zorgen deelden over gezondheid en leefstijl.Het gesprek is voor iedereen die werkt aan gezondheidsbevordering of zich zorgen maakt over het toenemende aantal chronisch zieken. Karremans geeft een eerlijk inkijkje in de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van overheidsbeleid, deelt concrete plannen over kindermarketing en veep-verboden, en benoemt waarom wetgeving traag gaat maar afspraken met de markt nú nodig zijn.

O Dia Mundial Sem Tabaco, criado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), é celebrado em 31 de maio para incentivar a mobilização e a reflexão sobre os perigos da dependência do cigarro. O vício em nicotina já é uma doença pediátrica reconhecida pela Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria (SBP), com registro precoce na população já a partir de 12,8 anos de idade. Em entrevista à Rádio Eldorado, o coordenador do Ambulatório Antitabágico do Hospital Universitário da USP, João Lotufo, alertou para o aumento da dependência entre os jovens em razão do uso de cigarros eletrônicos, os chamados vapes. “É uma dependência muito pior porque os vapes têm de 5 a 6 vezes mais nicotina do que um cigarro tradicional”. Lotufo, que integra a Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, ressaltou, ainda, a necessidade de capacitação de pediatras para tratamentos cada vez mais precoces.

The more vape stores near schools, the more young people vape. Fresh research from Auckland University shows almost half of schools across New Zealand are within a ten minute walk from a vape store The government passed a law in 2023 banning specialist vape shops from opening within 300 metres of schools, but the laws didn't apply to hundreds of existing suppliers. Study lead Ronan Payinda told Mike Hosking that walking past vape shops on the way to school increases the risk of vaping for those who have never done it before. He says he's concerned this introduces a new generation to addictions that may last a lifetime. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The crackdown on flavored vapes! In Utah a judge has allowed the ban of certain flavored vapes to take effect...and this week, The Supreme Court handed a win to the FDA over its refusal to approve flavored e-cigarettes. Is this all to protect the kids? Dave and Maura discuss.

This Day in Legal History: Smith v. AllwrightOn April 3, 1944, the United States Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision in Smith v. Allwright, reshaping the landscape of voting rights in the American South. The case centered on Lonnie E. Smith, a Black voter from Texas who was denied the right to vote in the Democratic Party's primary election due to a party rule that only allowed white voters to participate. At the time, the Democratic primary was the only meaningful election in many Southern states, as the party dominated politics, making exclusion from the primary tantamount to disenfranchisement.The Texas Democratic Party argued that, as a private organization, it had the right to determine its own membership and voting rules. However, the Court, in an 8–1 decision authored by Justice Stanley Reed, held that primaries were an integral part of the electoral process and could not be exempt from constitutional scrutiny. The justices concluded that excluding Black voters from primaries violated the Fifteenth Amendment, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting.This ruling effectively overturned the Court's 1935 decision in Grovey v. Townsend, which had upheld the use of white primaries. The Smith decision marked a critical step toward dismantling the legal architecture of Jim Crow voter suppression. While states continued to use other tactics to limit Black political power, the ruling energized civil rights activists and laid the foundation for future litigation.By reasserting federal authority over state electoral practices, Smith v. Allwright signaled a turning point in the judicial battle against racial segregation and disenfranchisement. It also demonstrated the Court's growing willingness to confront systemic racism in voting, a commitment that would deepen during the civil rights era. This case is remembered as one of the pivotal moments in the long struggle for voting rights in the United States.The U.S. Supreme Court largely upheld the FDA's authority to deny applications for flavored vaping products, supporting actions taken during the Biden administration under the 2009 Tobacco Control Act. The unanimous ruling rejected arguments from companies like Triton Distribution and Vapetasia LLC, which claimed the FDA unfairly imposed new testing requirements and ignored their marketing plans. These companies had applied to sell flavors like “Suicide Bunny Mother's Milk and Cookies” and “Killer Kustard Blueberry.”The Court found the FDA's approach consistent with its earlier guidance, despite claims from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the agency had pulled a “regulatory switcheroo.” Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion, agreeing with most of the FDA's decisions but sending the case back to the appeals court to reassess whether the agency erred in refusing to consider the companies' marketing plans—an element the FDA had previously called “critical” for evaluating youth appeal.Though the ruling solidifies the FDA's regulatory role, its long-term impact is uncertain. President Trump, in furtherance of his undying effort to always be on the wrong side of everything, has promised to “save vaping,” though his campaign never clarified what that means in terms of future regulation. The case, FDA v. Wages and White Lion, leaves the appeals court to decide whether any procedural missteps by the FDA were ultimately harmless.Supreme Court Largely Backs Biden-Era FDA on Flavored Vapes (1)Elon Musk's time in Washington as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) appears to be nearing its end. Both Musk and President Trump have hinted that his departure is imminent, with Trump noting that DGE itself “will end.” Originally designed as a temporary advisory panel to cut federal costs, DGE has morphed into a more integrated part of the government, staffed with Musk allies tasked with canceling contracts and slashing budgets.However, signs of a wind-down are emerging. DGE staff are being reassigned to federal agencies, layoffs are underway, and the organization's influence seems to be diminishing. Musk, a special government employee limited to 130 working days per year, is approaching that limit, though neither he nor the administration has confirmed when his tenure will end.Musk's recent political involvement also took a hit when his preferred candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court lost, despite significant financial backing and a campaign visit. Tesla's 13% drop in quarterly sales adds further pressure. Trump praised Musk's contributions but acknowledged his corporate obligations, suggesting a graceful exit is likely rather than a public fallout.DGE had once shared leadership between Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, but Ramaswamy left to run for Ohio governor. While Musk boasted about aiming to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars, critics say the group's progress has been overstated. Despite speculation, Trump hasn't committed to keeping DGE operational post-Musk, indicating the administration may be moving to a new phase of governance.Musk could be headed for a Washington exit after turbulent times at Trump's DOGE | AP NewsPresident Donald Trump announced a new agreement with law firm Milbank, marking another chapter in the growing divide among U.S. law firms over how to handle pressure from his administration. According to Trump's Truth Social post, Milbank initiated the deal, which includes a commitment to provide $100 million in pro bono legal services for causes like veterans' support and combating antisemitism.The agreement comes amid a broader Trump administration effort to punish firms that have opposed or challenged his policies. Several law firms—such as Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block—have filed lawsuits seeking to block executive orders they claim were retaliatory and violated constitutional protections of free speech and due process. Federal judges recently issued temporary blocks on parts of those orders.In contrast, other firms including Paul Weiss, Skadden Arps, and Willkie Farr have opted for settlement-style deals with the administration to avoid similar sanctions. Milbank's chairman, Scott Edelman, reportedly described the agreement as aligned with the firm's values and praised the productive talks with the administration.This situation underscores a growing rift in the legal community: some firms are resisting what they see as political coercion, while others are choosing cooperation to preserve their standing with the federal government.Trump reaches agreement with Milbank law firm | ReutersPresident Trump announced a sweeping new tariff policy during a Rose Garden press conference, unveiling a "reciprocal" trade strategy aimed at countering what he described as decades of unfair treatment by U.S. trading partners. Holding a copy of a government report titled Foreign Trade Barriers, Trump declared that the U.S. will now impose tariffs that are approximately half the rate other countries charge American exports—but with a minimum baseline tariff of 10%, and many rates going significantly higher.Countries hit with new tariffs include:* China: 34%* European Union: 20%* Japan: 24%* South Korea: 25%* Switzerland: 31%* United Kingdom: 10%* Taiwan: 32%* Malaysia: 24%* India: 26%* Brazil: 10%* Indonesia: 32%* Vietnam: 46%* Singapore: 10%Trump also confirmed a 25% tariff on all foreign-made automobiles, stacking on the above-referenced rates, effective at midnight, and pointed to motorcycle tariffs as a key example of longstanding trade imbalances. He argued that U.S. manufacturers face rates as high as 75% abroad, while the U.S. imposes just 2.4%.The president justified the move as necessary to protect American jobs and industry, singling out countries like Canada and Mexico for benefiting from U.S. subsidies and defense spending. Detroit autoworker Brian Pannebecker spoke in support, calling Trump's actions a hopeful step toward revitalizing shuttered factories.While Trump emphasized that the tariffs fall short of full reciprocity to avoid overwhelming allies, he made clear the era of what he called “economic surrender” was over. The announcement included plans to sign an executive order formalizing the new tariff regime, which boosted U.S. stock futures as markets reacted positively to the aggressive trade stance. Oh no I'm sorry, I got that wrong: stock futures tanked.  This is a public episode.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Monserrat Conde from the University of Oxford. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Monserrat Conde from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford. In the March podcast Monserrat Conde discusses the findings of the recent systematic review of electronic cigarettes and subsequent smoking in young people and an evidence and gap map. The systematic review aims to assess the evidence for a relationship between the use of e-cigarettes /vapes and subsequent smoking in young people under 30, and whether this differs by demographic characteristics. There is very low certainty evidence suggesting that e-cigarette use and availability are inversely associated with smoking in young people (i.e. as e-cigarettes become more available and/or are used more widely, youth smoking rates go down or, conversely, as e-cigarettes are restricted, youth smoking rates go up). At an individual level, people who vape appear to be more likely to go on to smoke than people who do not vape; however, it is unclear if these behaviours are causally linked. Monserrat discusses the differences in the information coming from the population studies compared to the individual level studies and notes that most studies are from high income countries, in particular from the US. To see the full review: https://doi.org/10.1111/add.16773 This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and Interventions for quitting vaping review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches. Our literature searches for the EC for smoking cessation review carried out on 1st March 2025 found 1 new study (DOI: 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2024.112271), one new ongoing study (ACTRN12625000179437) and two records linked to studies included in the review. Our literature searches for the interventions for quitting vaping review carried out on 1st March 2025 found 2 new ongoing studies (NCT06832098, ACTRN12625000143426) and four records linked to studies included in the review.

A man accused of coercing a teenage girl into having sex in exchange for vapes has been charged. The Oakland County Prosecutor says 24-year-old Darren Bradford was known to sell vapes to high school students on Snapchat. He's accused of telling a 15-year-old girl that he wouldn't sell to her unless she had sex with him. WWJ's Tony Ortiz and Tracey McCaskill have top news stories. (Photo: Getty Images)

It's an understatement that U.S.-China relations have been tense in recent years. Policymakers and industry leaders have elevated concerns around China's trade practices, including currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, and allegations that China is directing or enabling fentanyl to flood into the U.S.Trade and public health are increasingly linked, as COVID revealed the vulnerability of medical supply chains when U.S. overreliance on China led to delays and shortages of masks and personal protective equipment. Another issue that's getting more attention from lawmakers and parents is the prevalence of Chinese-made, counterfeit electronic cigarettes or “vapes” throughout the U.S. Politicians from Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL) to President Trump himself have raised the alarm. At the same time, American manufacturers have bemoaned the slow and stringent regulatory process they have faced at the FDA, which they say has enabled China to flood the market with cheap, sketchy alternatives. With a new FDA administrator set to take the helm, key questions remain. How did we end up in this situation, and what are the lessons not just for public health, but for other areas where the U.S. is looking to tighten up its trade policy. Is it possible for the U.S. to maintain the ideal of a relatively free market without adversaries exploiting that freedom?Evan is joined by Joel Thayer, President of the Digital Progress Institute.
