Flies that were exposed to that blue light showed damage to retinal and brain cells.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eyeglasses with blue light blocking lenses, and phones, laptops, and other devices can be set to block blue emissions to help prevent aging, and damage to brain cells and retinas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Story 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is nearing the end of 2019, and a constant trend we\u2019ve seen throughout this year is juuling. Many teenagers that juul think that&nbsp;it is a healthier alternative compared to cigarettes. Doctors are now giving tips for students who are struggling to quit juuling. Here\u2019s what some have to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Dr. Jaspers, director of the Center for Environmental Medicine, said a Juul is not any less harmful than conventional cigarettes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says, \u201cI think they just don\u2019t understand how much nicotine is in these devices,\u201d \u201cThey have no idea that there is probably three times as much nicotine in a Juul as there is in a cigarette.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>approximately two-thirds of Juul users between the ages of 15 and 24 do not know that Juul always contains nicotine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what a student from morningside college had to say about juuling-\u00a0\u00a0quote<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>one of the most important first steps for kids to stop juuling is for users to identify the triggers that prompt them to use their Juul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>identify alternative stress relievers to avoid relying on an electronic cigarette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also apps designed to help people modify their behaviors. the Truth Initiative, recently launched an app that could help college students looking to stop using these products<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, you really have no idea what juuling can do to you and your body in 20-30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Story 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of trends, another what seems to be college trend is maintaining that year-round glow- or in other words- tanning beds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A New York lawmaker wants to make the age to use tanning beds 21 and up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the state of New York, minors as young as 17 years old are allowed to tan indoors with written consent from guardians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to stats from the American skin care foundation, more than 419,000 cases of skin cancer in the US are linked to indoor tanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who first use a tanning bed before age 35 increase&nbsp;their risk for melanoma by 75%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quote \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is time to raise the minimum age to use indoor tanning beds in order to keep the next generation of New Yorkers safe from these cancer-causing products,\u201d wrote the senator of New York regarding this issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than tanning beds, there are healthier alternatives like tanning body oils, lotions, or spray tans that give you the same exact tan without the UV radiation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it be harmful blue light rays, juuling, or a frequent tanning bed user, each of these so called \u201ctrends\u201d has a harmful impact. There are many other healthier alternatives to each of these trends mentioned here tonight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>tonight we are going to be focusing more on recent so called \u201ctrends\u201d that have been effecting young teens and college kids Story 1 Did you know blue light exposer from things such as your phone affect aging, brain cells and retinas?&nbsp; Long period exposer to blue light, such as that which radiates from computer &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/2019\/11\/04\/article-3-draft\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;article 3 script &amp; mp3&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1068,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1068"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions\/124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.morningside.edu\/amb036\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
