The American Lung Association is all-in, on a bill to raise the age to buy tobacco and vape products in Wisconsin. The bipartisan legislation would raise the age to 21, and the Lung Associations Donna Wininsky said that would put it on an equal footing with alcohol. These are both things that can alder brain chemicals and are addictive. And we would prefer to not have teenagers using them.. Research shows that people are far less likely to start smoking once theyre 21. Its close to a 90 percent rate, that if someone hasnt started using tobacco products by the time they turn 21, the chances are just very, very slim that theyre going to pick it up afterword.. Wininsky is skeptical of claims by the vaping industry that its products are not meant for teenagers to use. I dont think an industry names and flavors products like bubble gum and cotton candy and chocolate and all of the other flavors that both the tobacco and the vaping industries use, unless they are intentionally ...

In 2015, the American Lung Association received a competitive award from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) National Center for Environmental Health to track asthma guidelines-based care in state Medicaid programs for the 23 CDC-funded National Asthma Control Program states. As part of this project, a group of key stakeholder organizations was convened to discuss key components of guidelines-based asthma care coverage for state Medicaid programs. This document defines benchmarks for asthma guidelines-based care for seven different criteria, which, if covered, together encompass key elements of the NAEPP EPR-3 guidelines, Community Guide and other relevant guidelines. Throughout the document, common barriers to care are cited as an impediment to guidelines-based care.. To conduct this review, ALA conducted its own primary research (publicly available) to determine state Medicaid program coverage for comprehensive asthma guidelines-based care. This research includes reviewing ...

On September 12, 1906, what would later become known as the American Lung Association of Washington was organized at a meeting of the State Medical Society in Spokane. The purpose of the Washington Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis was to raise awareness about the causes and treatment of tuberculosis, construct institutions in which cases of tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases could be treated, and promote the formation of local associations at the county level. Responsibility for developing the role of the Washington Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis in the promotion of community health was given to Dr. William R.M. Kellogg. He was named secretary of the organization at its founding.. In the next two years, despite having contracted tuberculosis, Dr. Kellogg focused on extending the organization from Seattle north to Everett, where anti-tuberculosis programs were directed primarily towards children. The result of these efforts is the ...

The Smoke Free Illinois Act (410 ILCS 82; Public Act 095-0017) is a comprehensive anti-smoking law that took effect in Illinois on January 1, 2008 (2008-01-01), and bans smoking inside most buildings and vehicles used by the general public, used as a place of employment, or owned by the government or other public body. It also requires no-smoking signs, bans smoking within 15 feet (4.6 m) of openings in the targeted buildings, and requires at least 75% of rooms in each hotel to be non-smoking. It replaced the more limited Illinois Clean Indoor Air Act (410 ILCS 80). On January 11, 2007, Illinois State Senator John J. Cullerton introduced comprehensive legislation that would make Illinois workplaces and indoor public places smoke-free. Similar legislation was also introduced in the Illinois House of Representatives as House Bill 246 by Representative Karen Yarbrough. The American Lung Association and the American Cancer Society of Illinois joined more than 450 other organizations in applauding ...

Chief Justice John Roberts today denied an attempt to block, or stay, a contentious air pollution rule for power plants.. Robertss order represents a big win for the Obama administrations climate agenda. Last year the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the EPAs Mercury and Air Toxics Standards is illegal, sending it back to the DC Circuit Court and instructing the agency to consider the costs the regulation would impose on utilities.. Roberts decision also follows the Supreme Courts 5-4 ruling last month to grant a highly unusual emergency stay of the Clean Power Plan, which limits carbon emissions from power plants.. Last week a group of 20 attorney generals let by Michigan asked the Supreme Court to stay the mercury pollution rules. The Environmental Defense Fund and other environmental groups, along with 15 states and health advocacy organizations such as the American Lung Association, opposed the stay application.. The DC Circuit Court unanimously rejected requests for a stay in December. ...

Russ noted that African American and Native American communities have been especially hard-hit by menthol cigarettes.. On Friday, Courtney Clark, a public health and psychology student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, took part in an American Lung Association press conference designed to draw public attention to the issue.. In a statement, Clark said: Menthol has been marketed to the African-American community for over 50 years, and as a result, nearly 90 percent of African-American smokers use menthol products. We can sit idly by and hope this malicious targeting by Big Tobacco ends, or we can take initiative to make sure that kids dont have easy access to these deadly products.. Russ said she shares the concern that minority populations have been subjected to targeted menthol cigarette marketing campaigns, but she stressed the proposed ordinance is not intended to be a paternalistic measure. Russ noted that both the Duluth Human Rights Commission and the Indigenous Commission have ...

The University of Tennessee Health Science Centers Christopher Waters, PhD, professor and interim chair of the Department of Physiology in the College of Medicine, has received a $1.7 million award from the National Institutes of Health for his project titled ASK1 and Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury. The study will examine the therapies associated with ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), specifically looking at the protein ASK1, in the hopes of reducing lung injury during treatment.. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating disease that is commonly caused by infection or injury to the lungs. According to the American Lung Association, there are approximately 200,000 cases of ARDS each year in the United States and very few therapeutic options are currently available. The treatment of these patients with supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation is necessary to sustain them. However, research has shown that while both mechanical ventilation and hyperoxia can ...

The 20 Best Air Purifiers Did you know that indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air? According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) information, our indoor air may be 2-5 times more polluted than the air outside. Indoor air pollutants can cause asthma attacks, as well as itchy eyes, sneezing, and runny nose. Radon and tobacco smoke can cause even more dangerous health effects, including lung cancer, according to the American Lung Association. The good news is that you can make your indoor air healthier by filtering out allergens, odors, and other pollutants from your space […]. Continue reading→ ...

MCS was first proposed as a distinct disease by Theron G. Randolph in 1950. In 1965, Randolph founded the Society for Clinical Ecology as an organization to promote his ideas about symptoms reported by his patients. As a consequence of his insistence upon his own, non-standard definition of allergy and his unusual theories about how the immune system and toxins affect people, the ideas he promoted were widely rejected, and clinical ecology emerged as a non-recognized medical specialty.[13] In the 1990s, an association was noted with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Gulf War syndrome.[49] In 1994, the AMA, American Lung Association, US EPA and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission published a booklet on indoor air pollution that discusses MCS, among other issues. The booklet further states that a pathogenesis of MCS has not been definitively proven, and that symptoms that have been self-diagnosed by a patient as related to MCS could actually be related to allergies or have a ...

Chemical sensitivities have been tied to a number of childhood abnormalities, from behavioral issues and over-all temperament to skin disorders and chronic allergies. According to the American Lung Association, chemical exposure in the home can also lead to asthma and even lung disease. The threat of chemical exposure in the home is very real, and can affect children and adults alike.. Things that might make your child more susceptible to chemical toxicity include genetics, a compromised immune system, a lower metabolism, nutritional issues, and stress. Oftentimes, symptoms will arise that are difficult for medical professionals to diagnose and these may be indicative of chemical sensitivities. Unfortunately, chemical sensitivity is not fully understood by the medical community because it is difficult to replicate the symptoms in a laboratory environment and chemical sensitivity manifests in a myriad of ways.. If you suspect that your child may be suffering from chemical sensitivities, it is ...

Today kicks off the official ozone season, when higher ozone concentrations can make air unhealthy to breathe. The season of smog begins April 1 and lingers until October.. Last year many Texas counties got an F for high ozone levels by the American Lung Association: Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Galveston, Harris, Hood, Montgomery, Orange, Parker, Tarrant, Travis and more. Houston was ranked the 7th most ozone-polluted city in the country, with Dallas-Fort Worth not far behind, ranked at 13th.. Whats different this year? In Texas, there are more people, more cars, and more industry. Mixed with hot summer days, this may mean higher ozone concentrations, which can translate to more asthma, more bronchitis, more emphysema and more complications from cardiovascular disease.. In other words, we need to be more vigilant than ever about keeping ozone levels low. Along those lines, here are some simple steps that we can all take to do our part:. ...

Yellow oblong pill 44 533 The KGB Agent answer: Not Medical Advice: An oval yellow pill with the imprint 44 533 on the front is 20mg/400mg of Mucus relief DM dextromethorphan guaifenesin (made by Nash Finch Company). Mucus relief DM dextromethorphan guaifenesin is a respiratory combination that is used for cough, and expectoration. There is a low risk of abuse with this drug. This medication may pose a risk to an unborn fetus. NBC News reports that many over-the-counter cough medications contain guaifenesin, and while many may turn to these during this nasty flu season, the American Lung Association warns that there is no evidence at all that it helps, and the American College of Chest Physicians suggests not using any cough syrup.
