USA Today: E-cigs in Luggage Can Be Fire Hazard-FAA

Imagine tucked deep 
In the luggage
Buried in the hold 
Of the plane
An electronic cigarette,
Under pressure,
Decides to heat up 
Over a large, uncharted
Body of water
FAA doesn't think 
It's a good idea either...

USA Today: Beijing Prepares Tough Tobacco Controls For China

China announced a ban 
on indoor smoking 
beginning June 1, 2015.
I'm assuming that, since 
a million Chinese die of 
smoking related diseases
every year, Beijing is 
trying to stem that tide.
China is kind of following 
the blueprint of Russia's 
recent anti-smoking policies.
Sounds like China is 
beginning to take its air 
pollution problem seriously.
