New heated tobacco devices are not a safe alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes or using electronic cigarettes, according to a new study.
This study directly compared the lung cell damage caused by e-cigarette and cigarette use to this new type of device, which heats solid tobacco to create a nicotine vapor that the user inhales. The conclusion? The heated tobacco vapor from these new devices was highly toxic to healthy lung cells — just like cigarette smoke.
Prime Timers will feature a St. Patrick’s Day theme at its luncheon on Tuesday, March 5. The festivities begin at noon at St. John Mennonite Church, Pandora.
The menu will feature corned beef and cabbage with red potatoes, green beans, mixed green salad with maple dressing, rolls and dessert. Rachael Lewis, orchestra director for Bluffton Schools, will entertain with Irish fiddle tunes and hymns.
