Flavored cigarettes ban reduces the number of young smokers in America.
Dr. Matthew Rossheim and co-researchers at George Mason University’s College of Health and Human Services, in the United States, analyzed the effects of the 2009 national ban on flavored cigarettes products on teens and young adults. Using the 2002-2017 data from the US National Survey on Drug Use and Health, they found that the prohibition decreased smoking in the 12-17 age group by 43%, and by 27% among young adults aged 18-25. The researchers suggested that a more comprehensive ban on all flavored tobacco products would lead to promising results. Many thanks for the study, Dr. Matthew Rossheim and co-researchers. In God’s radiance, may the day soon come when governments throughout the world ban all harmful substances for a flourishing world.

Hallo nice friends, I’m Olivia the vegan Great Horned Owl. Are you becoming a better person every day? I’ll bet you are, if your lifestyle is vegan! Here is a tip on how to make mask-wearing more comfortable for your ears. You can keep the ear loops of your mask away from your ears, while maintaining a suitable mask position, by simply using a rubber band and paperclip. First, try securing the strings from your mask to the back of your head using a paperclip. This will avoid placement of the bands directly on your ears. Alternatively, if you find that the strings are fastened too tight, you can extend the ear loops by attaching rubber bands to each end, and then using the paperclip to secure it. Stay safe! Love you for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet for all humans and us all co-inhabitants. Thank you for watching. And now, the weather around the world.
Plastic bag sales greatly reduced in United Kingdom after implementation of bag charge.
Sales of single-use plastic bags in England have plummeted since the 2015 introduction of a 5 pence charge per plastic bag in large supermarkets across the country. In the last year alone, major retailers Asda, Marks and Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, the Co-operative Group, Tesco, and Waitrose collectively sold 322 million fewer bags than in the 2018-2019 period. The average consumer in England now uses up to four plastic bags a year from the main retailers, compared to 140 bags annually in 2014. Furthermore, since the introduction of the charge, £178 million has been donated to charity. The United Kingdom is a Shining World Wise Leadership Award and a Shining World Leadership Awards for Animal Protection and Kindness laureate. Congratulations, United Kingdom! We are so happy to hear of your eco-friendly success. May we all continue to move towards a cleaner and sustainable future, in Heaven’s joyous splendor.

Teenagers return wallet they found with large amount of cash.

Wayland Police Chief Mark Garnsey was so proud of the integrity of the two young men that he named them Wayland Police Citizens of the Day. Heaven’s blessings, Logan Mishoe and Austin Nichols, for your honest actions to ensure that the wallet was returned to its rightful owner, and our gratitude, Police Chief Mark Garnsey, for honoring their goodness.

VeggieVictory, founded by Bola Adeyanju and Hakeem Jimo in 2013, is Nigeria’s first vegan meat company.

Mr. Joshi commented that Africa’s increasing population brings “huge demand for protein which is healthy, sustainable and plant-based.” Congratulations, Bola Adeyanju, Hakeem Jimo, VeggieVictory, and investors on your auspicious plans!

Kind-hearted man has rescued thousands of animals in India.
Vikas Luthra, entrepreneur and founder of nonprofit Furever Friends Foundation (FFF), has saved approximately 20,000 animals since 2012, including dogs, cats, monkeys, birds and reptiles. With the help of volunteers, FFF rescues and rehabilitates stray animals in India. Mr. Luthra has already developed a foster care network of 150 members tending to distressed animals, and is now using his veterinary assisting experience to train others in animal rescue. The organization has plans to start an ambulance service with surgery and life support facilities for animals. Despite being visually-impaired and working through a serious kidney condition, Mr. Luthra continues to work selflessly to “make this life worth living for the extraordinary beings – animals.” You are a true hero, Vikas Luthra. Our prayers are with you, Furever Friends Foundation and all involved. In Heaven’s all-embracing care, may we each in our own capacities be good to our beloved animal friends. Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Thankfully present the Shining World Compassion Award to Vikas Luthra with a humble contribution of US$10,000 to further your benevolent efforts. May Heavens forever shield you and those assisting your compassionate work.”

“OK, say the last few words then.”
“... and this is called energy.”
