Coming up: a government ban on the flavors used in e-cigarettes.
The e-cigarettes like Juul have reportedly been driven by flavored nicotine formulas such as "grape slushie" or "strawberry cotton candy." Juul itself sells mint, fruit and dessert flavored-nicotine pods. But with the breathing illnesses being reported, the FDA says it's going to develop guidelines to remove all e-cigarette flavors except tobacco from the market. Many of the breathing illnesses being reported also involve marijuana vaping.
But the restrictions announced yesterday by Trump officials would only apply to nicotine vaping products, which are regulated by the FDA."Jersey Shore" star MICHAEL "The Situation" SORRENTINO gets outta federal prison in Otisville, NY, today (Thursday) after serving time for tax evasion. As you may remember, he picked up eight months in prison after he pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion. Word is his "Jersey Shore" friends, Snooki, Ronnie, Vinny and JWoww will be on hand for his release, along with his wife, Lauren, who he married just months before heading to prison.
You may have heard about that North Carolina housewife who reportedly cut off her husband's private part with a pair of rose-bush pruning shears. Fifty-six year-old VICTORIA FRABUTT called cops after the incident to tell them her husband, JAMES, was bleeding from "his favorite part of himself," and that it was a "message against sinning... and fornication."
Deputies who arrived to take the husband to the hospital also found the detached part and put it on ice. There's been no word on whether it was reattached at the hospital. As for Victoria's part, she's been charged with malicious castration and kidnapping, and her bond was increased from $100,000 to $500,000 during her preliminary hearing. -
