Don’t be fooled by flavours.
Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can quickly get you hooked.
They also produce tiny particles that can travel deep into your lungs, along with toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde and heavy metals.
E-cigarettes can harm your lungs and heart.
Don’t let e-cigarettes take over your life.

Today on #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we’re exposing Big Tobacco companies and their tactics to hook a new generation.
From candy flavors and flashy packaging to products designed to look like toys, tech and lifestyle accessories, these companies continue to market addiction as something fun and modern.
The truth? These products are designed to addict young people and increase profits. #TobaccoExposed #WNTD2026
Every fall, Culex pipiens mosquitoes, the primary carriers of West Nile virus in the United States, are supposed to take their cues from the waning daylight and go dormant for the winter.
Now, a new backyard study finds that the glow of a floodlight may be enough to delay that shutdown, giving the mosquitoes more opportunities to bite.
The research suggests artificial light at night powerfully disrupts mosquitoes’ ability to go dormant—raising the possibility that as cities grow brighter, disease transmission seasons could extend.

"Due to the rise in vaping by pre-teens and teens, these kits are of great use. Students seem to believe that vaping is a 'safe' alternative to cigarettes. These kits can help dispel that myth to our students."

Fascinating @MIT research to reduce Lyme disease by using CRISPR gene editing for "heritable immunization" of wild mice - making the mice and their offspring immune to Lyme infection. #Ticks that feed on these mice will no longer carry #Lyme bacteria.

"Near Earth’s surface, CO2 traps heat that would otherwise escape into space, helping drive global warming. But conditions change dramatically higher in the atmosphere...CO2 behaves less like a blanket and more like a cooling system." 🌎
