His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Supervisors Matt Haney and Hillary Ronen announced a deal Tuesday reconciling their dueling plans to reform the city’s fragmented mental health care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trio introduced the agreement outside of City Hall, following months of often tense negotiations on ways to overhaul the treatment of residents grappling with homelessness, mental health and substance abuse issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, Breed announced she was backing her own comprehensive health care plan — called Urgent Care SF — geared towards some 4,000 homeless San Franciscans suffering from mental illness and substance abuse, an initiative she placed on the March 2020 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Ronen and Haney also announced last month they had filed paperwork to put their own proposal — dubbed Mental Health SF — on the same ballot. That more sweeping plan pushed for systemic change to the city’s mental health system, a proposal Breed criticized as too broad and costly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"mental-health-sf\"]Under the new deal, both sides are pulling their respective measures from the ballot, avoiding what promised to be a long, costly fight in the coming months. Instead, the new plan — still called Mental Health SF — is now being introduced as legislation to the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People didn’t want to see competing ballot measures — a bunch of politics that actually would’ve delayed the solution,” Haney said on Tuesday. “What we’ve put forward here with Mental Health SF is the vision and the framework and the accountability structure to have a system that actually works, because the one we have right now is disjointed, disconnected and is failing our city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement incorporates Breed’s original demand to prioritize treatment for the city’s most vulnerable population. But it also retains Ronen and Haney’s push to create an Office of Private Insurance Accountability to make sure residents with mental health needs, including those with insurance, receive adequate care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new program would also include a 24-hour drop-in center with access to psychiatrists and medication for anyone who needs it, regardless of insurance status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am so excited for the future of mental health in San Francisco because I know this is the right way to do it,” Breed said. “We have to start looking at mental health in a whole other way than we did in the past.

That more sweeping plan pushed for systemic change to the city’s mental health system, a proposal Breed criticized as too broad and costly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Instead, the new plan — still called Mental Health SF — is now being introduced as legislation to the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People didn’t want to see competing ballot measures — a bunch of politics that actually would’ve delayed the solution,” Haney said on Tuesday. “What we’ve put forward here with Mental Health SF is the vision and the framework and the accountability structure to have a system that actually works, because the one we have right now is disjointed, disconnected and is failing our city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement incorporates Breed’s original demand to prioritize treatment for the city’s most vulnerable population. But it also retains Ronen and Haney’s push to create an Office of Private Insurance Accountability to make sure residents with mental health needs, including those with insurance, receive adequate care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new program would also include a 24-hour drop-in center with access to psychiatrists and medication for anyone who needs it, regardless of insurance status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am so excited for the future of mental health in San Francisco because I know this is the right way to do it,” Breed said. “We have to start looking at mental health in a whole other way than we did in the past.

"content": "\u003cp>E-cigarette maker Juul Labs announced Thursday it will suspend sales of most of its flavored products — including mango, fruit and cucumber — which are widely considered an on-ramp to vaping for teenagers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move comes as the industry faces immense scrutiny. Several states have instituted bans on flavored products, and the Trump administration has signaled that a\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/09/11/759851853/fda-to-banish-flavored-e-cigarettes-to-combat-youth-vaping\"> federal ban may be in the works.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juul Labs’ new CEO K.C. Crosthwaite said the company is focused on “earning the trust of society” and is working to “combat underage use while providing an alternative to adult smokers,” according to a \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.juul.com/juul-labs-suspends-sale-of-non-tobacco-non-menthol-based-flavors-in-the-u-s/\">company release\u003c/a> announcing the change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when an estimated 25% of high school seniors in the U.S. say they’ve vaped within the last 30 days, the company is also under pressure to limit marketing and advertising to youth.[aside label=\"more e-cigarette coverage\" tag=\"e-cigarettes\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juul’s move to suspend flavors comes the same day that a small nonprofit group, Center for Environmental Health, announced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ceh.org/news-events/press-releases/content/ceh-settles-juul-worlds-largest-e-cigarette-provider-signs-first-legally-binding-agreement-restricting-marketing-children-teens/\">legally binding agreement\u003c/a> of its lawsuit with the company that will limit Juul’s marketing to kids and teens in specific ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, Juul cannot advertise at sporting events or concerts that allow people under the age of 21 to attend. The company may not pay for or permit company employees to appear at schools. And, the company can’t use models in their ads that are under the age of 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to NPR, a Juul spokesperson wrote, “We agree that no youth should use JUUL products and we are committed to combating underage use.” The statement goes on to say that this “settlement affirms voluntarily responsible marketing practices that JUUL Labs has had in place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company says it does not market to youth. “Our products exist solely to help adult smokers find an alternative to combustible cigarettes,” the spokesperson concludes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Center for Environmental Health CEO Michael Green says the settlement can help hold Juul accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t trust them, we think that their entire model is based on addicting a new generation of young people,” Green says. “The fact that [the agreement is] court-enforceable means that we are going to watch them very closely — and if they violate it by one inch we can go back to court and we can force them to stop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement is enforceable only in California — and only for a finite period. Public health experts say it’s a step in the right direction, but more action from federal regulators is needed to rein in the epidemic of teen vaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tobacco industry has a long history of making loud, public pronouncements and then failing to follow through,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.lung.org/about-us/our-leadership/paul-billings.html\">Paul Billings\u003c/a>, the senior vice president for advocacy at the American Lung Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Billings says the federal government needs to remove flavored e-cigarette products from the market. And he says the Food and Drug Administration, the agency that has regulatory authority, needs to act. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“FDA has been dragging its feet for more than a decade,” Billings says. “It’s past time for FDA to enforce the law to provide oversight over e-cigarette products.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As concern over the vaping-related lung illnesses has grown this year, there has been renewed focus on the wider epidemic of teen vaping. And many Americans seem to be in favor of federal action — according to the results of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/other/issue-brief/data-note-vaping-and-e-cigarettes/\">new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to banning the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, 52% [of respondents] were in support of a ban,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/person/liz-hamel/\">Liz Hamel\u003c/a>, director of public opinion and survey research at KFF. The poll also found that about half of respondents also support a ban on sales of all e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some anti-smoking advocates say Juul’s voluntary suspension of its flavored products may have minimal impact, given that the company plans to continue to sell mint- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin Koval, CEO and president of Truth Initiative, said in a statement that those two flavors are among the most popular among youth. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also know, as does the tobacco industry, that menthol has been, and continues to be, the starter flavor of choice for young cigarette users,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mikebloomberg.com/news/mike-bloomberg-statement-on-todays-juul-announcement/\">In a statement\u003c/a>, Michael Bloomberg, former New York City mayor and philanthropist, called Juul’s move to suspend flavors “too little and too late.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg Philanthropies launched its \u003ca href=\"https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__fightflavoredecigs.org_&d=DwMFAg&c=E2nBno7hEddFhl23N5nD1Q&r=jYlnX1OnItymBcYNYHda_Q&m=9NqFOgYvRR4y0R6-Jb50J76nsEUqcpmRz1mfp4W6U9U&s=B3lbzaD6jBYNJfnIKH9YIrTkFxZdyxH_k4RrE52CSfg&e=\">“Protect Kids: Fight Flavored E-Cigarettes”\u003c/a> initiative last month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Juul’s decision to keep mint- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes on the shelves is a page right out of the tobacco industry’s playbook,” Bloomberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is evidence that vaping has hooked millions of teenagers on nicotine, a very addictive compound that may be \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/10/10/768588170/how-vaping-nicotine-can-affect-a-teenage-brain\">harmful to the teenage brain.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some evidence also suggests that teens get addicted to nicotine faster by vaping than by smoking cigarettes. Stan Glantz, a professor of medicine at UC San Francisco who has studied tobacco, says one reason may be the use of the nicotine salts in the newest generation of vaping products. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It allows kids to inhale a much higher dose of nicotine per puff,” Glantz says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that can make it harder to kick the habit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Several states have instituted bans on flavored products, and the Trump administration has signaled that a\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/09/11/759851853/fda-to-banish-flavored-e-cigarettes-to-combat-youth-vaping\"> federal ban may be in the works.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juul Labs’ new CEO K.C. Crosthwaite said the company is focused on “earning the trust of society” and is working to “combat underage use while providing an alternative to adult smokers,” according to a \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.juul.com/juul-labs-suspends-sale-of-non-tobacco-non-menthol-based-flavors-in-the-u-s/\">company release\u003c/a> announcing the change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when an estimated 25% of high school seniors in the U.S. say they’ve vaped within the last 30 days, the company is also under pressure to limit marketing and advertising to youth.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The company may not pay for or permit company employees to appear at schools. And, the company can’t use models in their ads that are under the age of 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to NPR, a Juul spokesperson wrote, “We agree that no youth should use JUUL products and we are committed to combating underage use.” The statement goes on to say that this “settlement affirms voluntarily responsible marketing practices that JUUL Labs has had in place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company says it does not market to youth. “Our products exist solely to help adult smokers find an alternative to combustible cigarettes,” the spokesperson concludes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Center for Environmental Health CEO Michael Green says the settlement can help hold Juul accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t trust them, we think that their entire model is based on addicting a new generation of young people,” Green says. “The fact that [the agreement is] court-enforceable means that we are going to watch them very closely — and if they violate it by one inch we can go back to court and we can force them to stop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement is enforceable only in California — and only for a finite period. Public health experts say it’s a step in the right direction, but more action from federal regulators is needed to rein in the epidemic of teen vaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tobacco industry has a long history of making loud, public pronouncements and then failing to follow through,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.lung.org/about-us/our-leadership/paul-billings.html\">Paul Billings\u003c/a>, the senior vice president for advocacy at the American Lung Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Billings says the federal government needs to remove flavored e-cigarette products from the market. And he says the Food and Drug Administration, the agency that has regulatory authority, needs to act. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“FDA has been dragging its feet for more than a decade,” Billings says. “It’s past time for FDA to enforce the law to provide oversight over e-cigarette products.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As concern over the vaping-related lung illnesses has grown this year, there has been renewed focus on the wider epidemic of teen vaping. And many Americans seem to be in favor of federal action — according to the results of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/other/issue-brief/data-note-vaping-and-e-cigarettes/\">new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to banning the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, 52% [of respondents] were in support of a ban,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/person/liz-hamel/\">Liz Hamel\u003c/a>, director of public opinion and survey research at KFF. The poll also found that about half of respondents also support a ban on sales of all e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some anti-smoking advocates say Juul’s voluntary suspension of its flavored products may have minimal impact, given that the company plans to continue to sell mint- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin Koval, CEO and president of Truth Initiative, said in a statement that those two flavors are among the most popular among youth. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also know, as does the tobacco industry, that menthol has been, and continues to be, the starter flavor of choice for young cigarette users,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mikebloomberg.com/news/mike-bloomberg-statement-on-todays-juul-announcement/\">In a statement\u003c/a>, Michael Bloomberg, former New York City mayor and philanthropist, called Juul’s move to suspend flavors “too little and too late.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg Philanthropies launched its \u003ca href=\"https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__fightflavoredecigs.org_&d=DwMFAg&c=E2nBno7hEddFhl23N5nD1Q&r=jYlnX1OnItymBcYNYHda_Q&m=9NqFOgYvRR4y0R6-Jb50J76nsEUqcpmRz1mfp4W6U9U&s=B3lbzaD6jBYNJfnIKH9YIrTkFxZdyxH_k4RrE52CSfg&e=\">“Protect Kids: Fight Flavored E-Cigarettes”\u003c/a> initiative last month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Juul’s decision to keep mint- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes on the shelves is a page right out of the tobacco industry’s playbook,” Bloomberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is evidence that vaping has hooked millions of teenagers on nicotine, a very addictive compound that may be \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/10/10/768588170/how-vaping-nicotine-can-affect-a-teenage-brain\">harmful to the teenage brain.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"labelTerm": {},
"content": "\u003cp>Only two years ago, electronic cigarettes were viewed as a small industry with big potential to improve public health by offering a path to steer millions of smokers away from deadly cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That promise led U.S. regulators to take a hands-off approach to e-cigarette makers, including a Silicon Valley startup named Juul Labs, which was being praised for creating “the iPhone of e-cigarettes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today Juul and hundreds of smaller companies are at the center of a political backlash that threatens to sweep e-cigarettes from store shelves nationwide as politicians scramble to address two separate public health crises tied to vaping: underage use among teenagers and a mysterious and sometimes fatal lung ailment that has affected more than 1,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New restrictions at the local, state and federal level are poised to wipe out thousands of fruit-, candy- and dessert-flavored vapes that have attracted teens. But experts who study tobacco policy fear the scattershot approach of the clampdown could have damaging, unintended consequences, including driving adults who vape back to cigarette smoking, which remains the nation’s leading preventable cause of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This could take us from potentially the single biggest improvement in public health in the United States toward a public health disaster in which cigarettes continue to be the dominant nicotine product,” said Jonathan Foulds, an addiction researcher and tobacco specialist at Penn State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foulds and many other experts continue to view e-cigarettes as a potential “off-ramp” for smokers, allowing them to continue using nicotine — the addictive chemical in cigarettes — without inhaling all the toxic byproducts of burning tobacco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they warn the vaping backlash could do irreparable harm to the public perception of e-cigarettes, while ignoring the riskiest products that are most likely to blame for the recent outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal investigators say that nearly 80% of people who have come down with the vaping illness reported using products containing THC, the high-inducing chemical found in marijuana. They have not traced the problem to any single product or ingredient. But investigators are increasingly focused on thickeners and additives found in illegal THC cartridges sold on the black market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration specifically warned the public not to vape THC or purchase any vaping products off the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>THC vapes are separate from the legal, nicotine-filled e-cigarettes being targeted by President Donald Trump and politicians across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic governors in New York, Michigan, Washington, Rhode Island and Oregon have followed the president’s plan to ban flavored e-cigarettes nationally with their own state-level flavor restrictions. Massachusetts’ Republican governor has gone even further, placing a four-month moratorium on sales of vaping products of any kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem here is we have convinced adult America that vaping is as dangerous as smoking — and nothing could be further from the truth,” said Kenneth Warner, professor emeritus at the University of Michigan’s school of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E-cigarettes generally heat a flavored nicotine solution into an inhalable aerosol. There is little research on the long-term effects of inhaling the chemicals in vaping, such as vegetable glycerin.

Doctors diagnosed her with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, or COPD, and told her she needed to quit cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than 25 years previously, Adams had smoked clove-flavored cigarettes. When the government banned those in 2009, she switched to flavored cigars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always liked the flavors better than regular tobacco,” Adams said.\u003cbr>\nAfter her medical emergency, Adams tried a series of e-cigarettes at a local vape shop before settling on a large, refillable device that allowed her to switch between flavors like blueberry, watermelon and peach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as I’m concerned, flavored vaping juice saved my life,” Adams said. “It gave me the option of continuing with my nicotine but without destroying my lungs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Michigan stores pull their flavored products to comply with the state ban, Adams has been researching out-of-state suppliers and even do-it-yourself kits for mixing flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some public health advocates fear less motivated ex-smokers will simply return to cigarettes. Even with the success of Juul, e-cigarettes remain a tiny slice of the U.S. tobacco market, accounting for $8.6 billion in sales compared to $95 billion for cigarettes, according to Euromonitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Industry analysts point to early indicators that e-cigarette sales are beginning to flag amid the bans and negative headlines. E-cigarette sales slowed by 11% over the four weeks ended Sept. 22, according to retail data tracked by Nielsen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trend “could result in improved combustible cigarette” sales “as vapers potentially return” to smoking, Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog told investors in a recent note.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly the opposite of what public health officials have been trying to achieve, noted former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who stepped down in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As FDA chief, Gottlieb outlined an ambitious anti-smoking plan intended to shift most of the nation’s 34 million smokers away from cigarettes and toward less risky products.

But experts who study tobacco policy fear the scattershot approach of the clampdown could have damaging, unintended consequences, including driving adults who vape back to cigarette smoking, which remains the nation’s leading preventable cause of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This could take us from potentially the single biggest improvement in public health in the United States toward a public health disaster in which cigarettes continue to be the dominant nicotine product,” said Jonathan Foulds, an addiction researcher and tobacco specialist at Penn State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They have not traced the problem to any single product or ingredient. But investigators are increasingly focused on thickeners and additives found in illegal THC cartridges sold on the black market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration specifically warned the public not to vape THC or purchase any vaping products off the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>THC vapes are separate from the legal, nicotine-filled e-cigarettes being targeted by President Donald Trump and politicians across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic governors in New York, Michigan, Washington, Rhode Island and Oregon have followed the president’s plan to ban flavored e-cigarettes nationally with their own state-level flavor restrictions. Massachusetts’ Republican governor has gone even further, placing a four-month moratorium on sales of vaping products of any kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem here is we have convinced adult America that vaping is as dangerous as smoking — and nothing could be further from the truth,” said Kenneth Warner, professor emeritus at the University of Michigan’s school of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E-cigarettes generally heat a flavored nicotine solution into an inhalable aerosol.
