00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520
Time for us to spend some time
here in Good Day Health with doctor Jack

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,000
Stockwell. He is the author of
all Things Important at forbiddendoctor dot com,

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,920
where the gaps practitioner that he is
focuses on things that are important for your

4
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:21,640
body. And then Jack Stockwell dot
com is his website because he's a knooka

5
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:27,480
chiropractor dealing just with the things that
can be helped by going to see him

6
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:32,719
as a chiropractor. One of the
most recent podcasts at good day Health dot

7
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,320
com is a focus on drinking raw
milk. And you know how I am

8
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:39,399
on that one, Jack, I'm
all, I'm all for. It's just

9
00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:43,159
I also know how mother nature is
about it too, Yeah, right,

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:51,079
exactly, All right, Let's talk
about the use of menthol cigarettes and things

11
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:58,679
that are being exposed now smoking and
youngsters. Forty percent of middle school and

12
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:06,200
high school students are smoking cigarettes and
they're using these menthol cigarettes. Eighty five

13
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:11,079
percent of Black smokers use menthol cigarettes. It has been quite a the news

14
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:14,640
has been filled lately. And Jack, after we hear this little bit of

15
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,319
information, I want to have you
talk a little more about the horrors of

16
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:23,120
smoking and what it does, especially
if you start young. So first we're

17
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,480
going to listen to Dwight Stone,
though, who has some more on that

18
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,159
in the note I'm d white Stone. Pediatricians have long been sounding the alarm

19
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:34,439
on how the tobacco industry uses flavors
to hook kids on their products. Doctor

20
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:41,079
nia Herd Gerris of the American Academy
of Pediatrics explains young people are uniquely vulnerable

21
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,840
to the highly addictive nature of nicotine, which means teenage experimentation can easily turn

22
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,640
into lifelong addiction. For too long, the tobacco industry has used appealing flavors

23
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:55,079
like menthol to addict young people.
The health of Black communities has also been

24
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,519
impacted by aggressive marketing of menthol products, leading to disproportionate addiction, suffering,

25
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:05,439
and death. Lack of action by
policy makers has delayed final rules to prohibit

26
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,000
mental cigarettes and flavored cigars. These
rules are a chance to address the threat

27
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:14,360
of nicotine addiction, reduce cancer deaths, and save lives. Failing to act

28
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:19,520
leaves young people and Black communities at
risk. The AAP urges the Biden administration

29
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,960
to finalize these rules and eliminate these
harmful products. To learn more, go

30
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,800
to aap dot org slash tobacco.
All right, Jack, let's talk about

31
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,240
this for a moment if we can. That is the use of tobacco products

32
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,000
by youngsters, How it gets started, how it gets stopped, how our

33
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:39,560
parents involved. If you're a parent
and you smoke, your children most likely

34
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,560
will smoke. If you're a parent
and you don't smoke, your children are

35
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,960
most likely not to smoke. Some
are affected by other pressures, like their

36
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:54,159
own peers and that sort of thing. But as they're growing their bodies and

37
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,560
grown. I remember looking at this
when my mother was sick. She was

38
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:04,479
a smoker. Shed I was fifty, I was looking around high school health

39
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,520
classes would take the impact of tobacco
and show youngsters, you know, what

40
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,080
happened when you smoked. I don't
know that they do that anymore. They

41
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,159
ought to, but they probably don't. So. But what's so uniquely why

42
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:24,080
are the younger people more vulnerable to
tobacco nicotine, is that they're more easily

43
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:30,879
addicted to are still developing. For
one thing, the brains, you know,

44
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,319
the brain. The brain really isn't
fully wired until we're about in the

45
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,159
early twenties. A lot of it
occurs up prior to puberty, but even

46
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:44,520
through adolescence, the brain is still
wiring, forming synaptic connections between the various

47
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:51,439
areas of the brain which are all
influenced by nutrition, and smoking will definitely

48
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,919
affect the ability of the body to
absorb certain nutrients as well as you know,

49
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,840
polluting not just the lungs, but
obviously the nicotine gets into the bloodstream

50
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,319
into the brain, and we have
nicotine receptor sites because there's various kinds of

51
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,800
nutrients that have a nicotinic aspect to
it, which isn't the same thing as

52
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:18,519
breathing in nicotine from burning tobacco,
but also the additives that's in the tobacco.

53
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,680
You know, there is evidence to
show that if you were just smoking

54
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:30,279
nothing but pure tobacco, like some
of these American Indian brands, it's far

55
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:34,680
less dangerous than this other stuff,
especially when you're doing menthol and the menthol

56
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:40,000
stuff is in the filter and so
it gives them a better kick. It's

57
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,759
a more pleasurable aspect to the brain. And if you're going to introduce somebody

58
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,160
to smoke and give them something that's
going to be a little more pleasurable than

59
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,879
otherwise. And you know, it's
just out here in Utah, we have

60
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:56,240
a lot. When we get stagnant
air in the winter time, you get

61
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,639
this cloud of yuck. It just
hangs over the valley until some no storms

62
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:03,160
come in and blow it out.
And when that happens, there are warnings

63
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:08,959
all over the TV screen anybody with
the least bit of breathing problems, stay

64
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:13,160
inside, don't be outside breathing this
stuff. But hey, we've done it

65
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,639
better than that. We've concentrated into
a little white tube and breathed it into

66
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,759
our lungs. Here's the description.
Do remember doctor Jack Stockwell Here
