Some sweet-flavored cigarettes banned.

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act singed into law by President Obama banned the sales of candy-flavored and fruit-flavored cigarettes.

Flavored cigarettes are widely considered appealing to first-time smokers. I am very glad they are banned because I fully appreciate the dangerous role flavors play in nicotine addiction. In fact, the role of flavor in nicotine addiction is the center question of my grant application awarded early this month. Now flavors are banned, I’ll need to come up with some new ideas. Wait, they did not ban other flavors, right? Like Menthol?

I drove a 4 yr old boy to daycare this morning. The conversation in the car is totally different than driving my 5 yr old to kindergarten. The boy speaks both English and Chinese but somehow it feels he is much more mature in English. More big kid sounding talk in English and more little kid sounding talk in Chinese.
