POPSTry an e-cigarette to quit smoking "The nicotine is delivered to the lungs within 7 to 10 seconds," said Scott Fraser, Vice President of SBT Co. Ltd., the Beijing-based firm that first developed the electronic cigarette technology in 2003 and which is now controlled by Golden Dragon. "It feels like a cigarette, looks like a cigarette, it even emits vapor. In many ways, it is like an actual smoking experience, and that's what makes us different," he told Reuters.

POPSPoisoned By Sugar-Free Gum? First off, I can't stand the taste of any of the "fake" sugars. Even if someone doesn't tell me what I am eating is "sugar-free", I can always tell by the first bite (and there won't be a second). Secondly, when I have made the mistake of consuming such items that are not labeled properly (some coffee creamers are not, I had to go on the web to find a creamer I used daily had fake sugar in it, since it didn't say so on the label, I thought I was just being paranoid about the taste). I started doing research on the creamer when I realized that right after my morning coffee I was lethargic, nauseous, and was in bed with migraines EVERY DAY. As soon as I cut that creamer, as well as other hidden fake sugars in my home (including Splenda and Ace-K), I stopped being nauseas and I only have migraines after a hard night at work and then, only once a month. I am even more scrupulous now about labels. I chew old-fashioned "Juicy Fruit".

POPSHabits May Be Good For You "Not everyone is comfortable with the arrangements. Some critics complain that public health professionals are becoming too cozy with companies ultimately focused on their bottom lines. Others worry that these advertising techniques may be manipulative. But what Dr. Curtis learned in Ghana suggests that saving the world may be as easy as hawking chewing gum, or, to use a more contemporary example, as simple as training Americans to spray perfumed water on couches that are already clean."

POPSFriendly Vending Machines...History
"The earliest vending machine was described by Hero of Alexandria in the 1st century ad. A coin dropped into this early vending machine struck a lever, causing a valve to open, which would allow a certain amount of holy water to flow out of the machine. During the 18th century, simple vending machines were used in England and the American colonies to dispense snuff and tobacco. The first chewing gum dispensers were placed on New York City train platforms in 1888. By the time World War II ended in 1945, vending machines dispensing a variety of merchandise could be found throughout the United States. Currently, vending machines can be found not only in the United States, but throughout the world. In the United States, vending machines mainly supply food and are found in hotels, transportation terminals, and institutions. In Europe and Japan, where they are used to supplement the services of retail stores after regular business hours, they carry more varied merchandise."
