Anthony mason is off. Were in good hands. Adriana diaz is still here. Always good to have you right here at the table. Well begin with this Hurricane Dorian gaining strength in the atlantic and millions of people in florida being warned to be ready for the impact. The storm rolled over the Virgin Islands yesterday, hitting st. Thomas with wind gusts of up to 100 miles an hour. Puerto rico, were happy to say, escaped with no serious damage. Thats good news. Dorian is likely to become a major hurricane in the coming days and reach the southeast coast early next week. Florida is already under a state of emergency. Chief weather caster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs tv is tracking dorian. Lonnie, good morning. What are the latest changes . The latest changes we now think it is going to become Even Stronger than initially thought. It is forecast to move even slower than we originally thought. If you take a look at the latest information we have a category 1 storm, winds at 85 Miles Per Hour right now 175 miles north of puerto rico, 375 miles to the eastsoutheastf thturks and caicos. Where does it go from here . Its a cat1. We think it may stay over open water until it gets to the u. S. Coast line, a cat2 sometime thursday with 100mileperhour winds. It is a cat3 sometime friday with 115mileperhour winds. Then here we go. Up to 120 saturday. 125 on sunday. Holding the 125mileperhour status as it approaches the coast line of florida. If it gets to 130, youre talking about a category 4 storm. Do not focus on the skinny red line. All right . Yes, this is the highest probability but when you take a look at all of the models combined, this is why the cone stretches from savannah, georgia all the way down to the southern portion of florida, anywhere within that area is the possibility for a landfall. So we got to keep our eyes on this one. Certainly that state of emergency declared in florida is merited and georgia is even watching things, adriana. Thank you so much. People along floridas east coast are rushing to load up on water, food, and emergency supplies. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is there ahead of the storm in coco beach. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning. I was just looking at the people on the beach. Its a beautiful morning here. We got out of puerto rico on the last flight out of town and i just confirmed with fema that theyre now relocating teams that had been sent to puerto rico and moving them here to florida. The official i spoke to just a moment ago said, listen. If we learn nothing else about dorian in the caribbean it is that it moved around so much we couldnt really be sure where it was going to go until less than 12 hours before landfall. So theyre going to preposition teams in tallahassee, two teams in atlanta, have them ready to move up and down the southeast coast. As dorian gets closer. When dorian hit the u. S. Virgin islands it brought with it heavy rain and winds. Can barely hold the camera. Reporter the storm caused widespread outages but no major damage. It is now strengthening and could be a major category 3 storm by the time it makes landfall in florida on labor day. We just get ready. Thats it. Puerto rico dodged a bullet as the storm changed course at the last minute. Floridians are being told, dont take a chance. Im not that concerned but it is better to be safe than sorry. I went through andrew and lost my house so that made me ready. Floridas goverr ron desantos is asking people to stock up with seven days worth of supplies. Have a plan. Be ready. Listen and well get more resolution and certainty over the next 24 to 48 hours. Im not watching the weather. Im not going to obsess about it. Im leaving. Im going to pray my way through it because god is in control. I know that. Here in Central Florida there are hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans who had been watching what was happening on their beloved island and were happy to see they didnt really get much of a hit at all. Now theyre getting ready for the storm moving here. Gayle, the big news in puerto rico, everybody breathing a sigh of relief. They thought it was going to be a big deal and it turned out to be, thankfully, a big old nothing. Sometimes a big old nothing is good. Im trying to figure out where the people are on the beach there, david. Why would you come to the beach knowing a hurricane is coming . I dont get it. Hey, you got 72 hours. Get ready. All right. Thank you, David Begnaud. Always good to see you. In our next hour well ask the president s acting Emergency Management director if fema will have enough resources to respond to Hurricane Dorian. Amid a nationwide spike in severe lung illnesses milwaukees Health Department issued an alert telling people to stop using those ecigarettes immediately. There are now 16 confirmed cases of chemical pneumonia in wisconsin. Health Officials Say all of the patients reported using e cigarettes or vaping marijuana. Nationwide the centers for Disease Control says it is looking into nearly 200 possible cases reported in 22 different states of severe lung disease that may be tied to ecigarette use. And the company that dominates the e cigarette market, juul labs, is unveiling what it calls the strictest age verification standards for products in stores anywhere. Juul is often blamed for the surge in youth vaping. That includes 3. 6 million young people, more than that who have tried e cigarettes in just the past year. In a survey last year conducted by an antitobacco group found nearly threequarters of under age users were able to buy juul products at stores. In an interview only on cbs this morning juuls ceo kevin burns reveals the new requirements for shops selling the companys products. What were moving to is a system where once you ask for our product and you scan the product in the system it locks that system down and can only get released when you hand a valid i. D. To scan that to check for the age that is not expired and is in fact a validish d. To release the transaction. Reporter if this works as intended a person buying a juul will have to have a valid i. D. And there will be a cap on what they can buy at any given time . Correct. Reporter how big an impact do you hope this has on youth vaping . We think it is a contributor. Reduce and improving, reducing the availability of people to get products. When we did a pilot on this we went to four retailers, about 200 stores, secret shopped them before the system, deployed the system, secret shopped them after the system and we saw age verification failure rates from 5 to 20 go to fundamentally zero. Could get it. Nobody under age can get through the transaction process. Reporter the company says it plans to stop shipping products to stores that do not have this technology installed by mid 2021. Well have much more of our exclusive interview with the juul ceo kevin burns in our next half hour including how much blame he thinks juul shares for the problem of under age vaping. A big search is under way for an arizona couple accused of murder after they escaped from a prison van. Blane and Susan Barksdale are wanted in connection with the april murder of 72yearold frank bligh in tucson and accused of intentionally setting fire forhis home. His body was never found. In may they were tracked down and arrested in henrietta, new york but as they were being transported back to arizona on monday police say they overpowered two guards in utah and broke out of the van. They were last seen in a damaged red pickup truck like this with this arizona license plate number. The u. S. Marshals service is offering a 10,000 reward for each fugitive for information that could lead to their arrest. They are considered to be armed and dangerous. Authorities in multiple states are investigating new cases involving potential acts of Mass Violence in schools. 19yearold paul steber was arrested on tuesday after investigators say he admitted to planning a mass shooting at high point university. Police say steber had ammunition and two firearms inside his dorm room. Just this week there have been at least five incidents at schools in separate states where either a threat was made or guns and ammunition were found. One more candidate has dropped out of the democratic president ial race. New york senator Kirsten Gillibrand ended her campaign yesterday when it became clear she would not qualify for the third Democratic Candidates debate next month. That still leaves 20 men and women running for the nomination. Only ten of them, though, have enough voter support to take part in the upcoming debate. Overseas a stark reminder that the war in syria is far from over. We have an exclusive look at what life is like for more than 3 Million People trapped in a Bombing Campaign by syria and its ally, russia. Idlib is the last remaining stronghold of the Opposition Forces of the civil war that began in 2011. Some people are calling for the u. S. To help stop the siege. Holly williams got rare access and is in turkey near the syrian border. Holly, what did you see . Reporter good morning. In idlib yesterday things were normal which means there were war planes overhead, air strikes, and reports of 16 civilians killed including seven children. There is nowhere left to run for many in idlib. They are impotent against the faceless killers in the sky. Our guides told us this hospital was hit by an air strike in the early morning. The regime attacks hospitals like this one as well as schools, markets, and bakeries. For those who survive, it makes things unlivable here and thats the point. This hospital is now the last resort for around 500,000 people. The Syrian Regime and its russian backers are pushing these people to breaking point. We found parts of idlib eerily quiet. Tens of thousands have fled the town of Maaret Al Numan after its market was hit last month. 50 people were massacred, by some reports. Please please stop this reporter but there is no help. And so this family has carved out a makeshift air shelter underneath their own home. Their children take cover here, clutching their teddy bears when the war planes menace from above. And there are new reports this morning of more air strikes in idlib including seven people killed. Gayle . Holly williams. That video very tough to watch. Thank you very much. Fans of the speed race are known as the fastest woman on four wheels say they are devastated by her death in a jet car accident. 39yearold jessi combs was trying to break a speed record when she crashed in the Oregon Desert on tuesday. Dana, people keep saying she was so full of life and lived life really to its fullest. What happened . Reporter well, gayle, they are still investigating the crash right now but combs, who was known widely in this sport of jet racing died doing what she loved. Her boyfriend told cbs news the world lost a brave woman. Breathe in, breathe out. Focus, and go as fast as i can. Reporter doing things typically dominated by men, like racing, and welding, jessi combs broke barriers. Six years ago she set a land speed record for a woman on four wheels. Driving 398 Miles Per Hour with a modified jet engine. But tuesday, in oregon, she crashed while attempting to go more than 500 Miles Per Hour. The jet car that we got crashed and the pilot is fatally injured. Reporter in an Instagram Post sunday about her record breaking attempt combs wrote, people say im crazy. I say, thank you. Motor sports and racing tends to be a male dominated industry. And jessi really worked to be an inspiration to women and girls. Reporter beyond racing combs was alnown as a tv personality from shows like all girls garage and myth busters. Time to bring in the big guns. Jessi was an incredibly competent woman in what is largely a boys club. Former myth busters cohost adam savage. The ways in which she was inspiring to young engineers and really took that position seriously. She wanted to inspire people like her when she was young to try the things that they couldnt believe they would get to do. Reporter an accomplished artist and craftswoman as well as speed demon and daredevil, combs lived her life boldly. People like jessi are rare in the world and we need more of them. And im very sad that shes gone. Very well said. In a post this year combs wrote, im just a girl who likes to ride motorcycles, build rad things out of metal, race anything i can, have great conversations, laugh a lot, weld stuff, break stereotypes, go on adventures, push the limits, and have fun while i do it. She ended that by saying, dont hate me because im awesome. She could write a little bit, too. I like that personality. We do need more like her. Especially for someone who didnt know her. You hear about her and think sure would have liked to have met her. What a fire cracker personality she had. Our colleague had a chance to talk with her boyfriend yesterday. She had so many things she wanted to do and people she wanted to influence that he wants to keep that going for her. Very sad news. Dana, thank you very much. A kentucky woman who volunteered for a group that helped find missing people is now the focus of an intensifying search after she vanished. Andrea knabel disappeared more than two weeks ago.

Juul ceo acknowledges his product is a big part of that problem. One in five high School Students, one in nearly 20 middle School Students say they vaped in the last year. Only on cbs this morning we spoke to kevin burns, the ceo of juul, largest ecigarette company, and asked him whats being con to stop underage vaping. When you think about under anl vaping, youth vaping, whats it look like to you . How big is the crisis . The problem is big. Would you call it an epidemic . Im not going to use the same words that others have used but its big, concerning and needs to be a lot lower than it is today. Crisis, emergency . We need to move with speed and urgency, yeah. Do you have a sense of how big a portion of the underage market you guys are . We dont know specifically on that but im sure, you know, a big portion of the problem is attributed to juul usage of our product. What do you say to those families, those parents about their teens using this product . Ive said this before. Im sorry that their kids are using the product and i have empathy for them, what theyre going through, dealing with their kids, trying to go through any kind of difficulties, especially an addiction to a product that has kninicotine in. When you say sorry, and you have said it before, sorry for what . Was it an accident . Was it a mistake . How did this happen . I said im sorry for the situation theyre in. Again, theres never been you dont think juul caused it . Some people could have used our product, but theres never an intent on the companys part to target youth, to grow our business. Thats been the assertion. Families are suing you, saying you went after their kids as customers. Your campaigns appeal to them and now theyre addicted to nicotine, maybe for life. How do you plan to respond to that . I dont think our campaign was ever targeted to kids. We dont need to target youth to grow our business, to be successful and fill our mission. Part of that mission is now keeping juuls products away from underage shoppers. You have a fix for it, you think . We have a solution, which can work on this. Burns brought us to a San Francisco Convenient Store to show us their new initiative. Okay. Let me scan that. An i. D. Verification system. All right. This i. D. Has expired. I cannot sell it to you at this time. I apologize. It prohibits cashiers from selling juul products to underage shoppers and places limits on the amount people can buy. You have to have a valid i. D. To scan to release the transaction. If little brother walk in with big brothers i. D. And hands it to him and that i. D. Is expired, no go . Wont get a transaction. 40,000 stores have committed to implementing these new standards and plans to stop distributing products to stores that arent compliant by 2021. They call at the strictest verification standards for any age restricted products in stores. When you talk about all youre doing to combat underage use and i think about your apology, im sorry to the parents who find their kids using this product, im sorry for the situation theyre in, it sounds like youre putting the blame on the families and the teenagers. Doesnt the blame reside with juul, at least in part . I dont want to give any impression im blame iing it one families. You have a categorywide issue. We are, in part we need to be part of the solution. We have to take an active leadership role in being part of the solution. This follows previous efforts by juul to counter underage vaping, removing most flavors from stores, shutting down social media accounts and marketing to reach former smokers. Can you say today that you think underage use will go down when the next survey go comes out . Cant say that with certainty, no. There are other factors that come into play. Were the only manufacturer thats taken flavors out of retail. Theres been an influx of counterfeit and compatible products coming into the marketplace. Online is still a challenge as a channel. When the 2019 numbers come out, teen use, which is already at one in five high school kids, could go up again . I think it could go up. Yeah, thats a possibility. Think of that. Another year in which teen vaping numbers continue to go up. A couple of things important to point out there. I had a fake i. D. In high school. This new system they have would have beaten my fake i. D. I wouldnt be able to buy juul. You heard him mention he has a teenage daughter. He has a teenage son, too. His teenage daughter didnt want him to work for juul. Interesting. He brought her around to meet everybody inside and said she had to be convinced that what theyre about actually is Public Health. The big takeaway, he tries to take on all questions for the first time, he believes he can convince the fda and hopefully america that juul is a net good for Public Health in this country. His argument is that they want to provide a product that cigarette users can use to wean themselves off cigarettes but why not make it a prescription product to get juul rather than make it available for everyone and people to start using the product who dont smoke . Its a great question and maybe the fda will push it in that direction. Juul perspective is if you go into a Convenience Store and have the option of buying a cigarette, you want them to have just as much easy access to the juul alternative, if switching can work. Look, millions of lives are at risk and millions of teenagers are entangled in this. The balance of the two will dictate where this goes in the years ahead. You have more. We have much more, yes, we do. In the next hour, much more from our exclusive interview, including what kevin burns says parents are telling him about their kids vaping. The big move that he says was damaging to the companys credibility, getting in bed with big tobacco company. Using door cameras to catch criminals.

Ring said yesterday more than 400 Law Enforcement agencies use its Neighborhood Watch program. That gives police potential access to customers police videos. Jamie yuccas shows us how they could use it. Hey, man, dont do it. Everything from home breakins. Hey, what are you doing . To stolen packages. Stay informed with alerts from your community. Ring also offers the neighbors app which lets customers know when and where a crime happens in their area, working in conjunction with the socalled neighbors portal, now used by 400 Law Enforcement agencies. To request customer video that might help their investigations. Ring ceo jamie siminoff. My goal would be to have all Police Agencies on the portal. Well see a growing sense of people becoming informants on our neighbors, in our neighborhoods. Andrew ferguson is the author of the rise of big data policing. Also potential problems with who gets targeted in those neighborhood apps and that can be very troubling. What can happen, of course, there could be a Police Response and that could impact someones liberty, someones lives. Reporter ring says its customers have complete control over their videos and can choose to give consent to a Law Enforcement request for access. The ring customer will see a request come up. They can either accept the request or opt out of that request and all future requests, and the police will never see if they have done that. Reporter but privacy advocates worry that customers might not always have the final say. Yes, we have a choice, sometimes. But its very easy for police to get a search warrant for that same footage if they believe a crime has occurred. I can tell you, well always follow the laws but well always fight for our customers rights, control and privacy. You know we have security cameras. Reporter jamie yuccas, los angeles.

United states could soon lose status of a country where measles is eliminated. World Health Organization declared in 2000 the disease had been beaten in the u. S. Cdc says an outbreak that started in new york could jeopardize that standing. More than 970 cases have been reported in the state since last year. So far, the u. S. Has reported more than 1,000 cases across 40 states. It could undermine efforts to eliminate measles. Just this year, 12 cases already. Get vaccinated. Yes. Next story, unbelievable video in italy. Volcanic explosion in southern italy unleashed a billowing plume of thick, black smoke more than a mile in the air. Stromboli volcano erupted. No casualty or damages were reported. The blast was stronger than the previous in july which killed a hiker and covered the popular Tourist Destination in ash. This volcano has been erupted since 1932. Continuous eruption, stromboli eruption. One man said it was raining sand and stone, which was pretty hard to imagine. I saw it recently. We happened to be there this summer. It was at night and it was very, very, very pretty. The video is unbelievable. It is. No fatalities. Yes, thankfully. This next story is one i think of female empowerment that i love. U. S. Womans soccer star carli lloyd said she is seriously considering an offer to play for the nfl as a kicker, that would make her the first femnfl player in history. Its honestly gotten me thinking a little bit. I think from a kicking perspective, thats what i do for a living. I dont see why not, you know, women can kick. Kind of considering the offers and well see what happens. Last week during a Philadelphia Eagles practice, lloyd nailed a 55 yard field goal. Look at that. She was approached by at least two nfl teams to kick in preseason games today. Unfortunately, lloyd has a soccer game tonight, but she is not ruling out accepting future offers. First thing that popped in my mind is what would she be paid . Good question. Our wonderful producers and i crunched some numbers. In 2015 she made 356,000 in salary and endorsements. On the lower end of pay for kickers is just under a million. Wow and she made it thats why shes considering it. Yes. She made it look so effortless. Thats whats so cool about it. She didnt hesitate. Just one kick. It was flawless. Go, carli. Women can kick. Women can kick. Better than men. Go carli. Our next story is a rock star on the journey of a lifetime. Singer mike posner hit the road again after a scary snake bite almost caused him to lose his leg. We told you about this story in april when the artist began a walk across america in new jersey. His goal, reminding people of the importance of living in the moment. But earlier this month, while trekking along the flats of colorado, he was bitten by a rattle snake miles from the nearest town. About about ten minutes later, the ven emstarted to go through me, and thats when my whole body kind of went tingling. It was sort of like the looney tunes opening where the circle gets smaller and i felt like darkness was coming in. Im grateful that i still have my leg, that i still have my life. After six days of hospitalization and two weeks of rehab, mike is back on his feet. He actually wanted to start right where he was bitten. He launched that here with jamie yuccas, gave a shout out to the rattle snake. Thank you very much. Ahead, how fema is preparing for dorian. Oming up. Is not just the flu. Its meningitis b.

News updates throughout the day on your favorite platforms, including our website, its kpix. Com. Good morning. Here at 7 57, lets start with a look at the travel times. They are all in the red unfortunately. Youre going to need a little bit of extra time. Its been a rough morning on the roadways. For those of you head out of the Altamont Pass, 42 minutes. Same on the east shore freeway. 74 minutes coming out of the south bay. The bay bridge toll plaza backed up to the maze and the 880. You can see on emilys live Traffic Cameras the cloudy start to the day. Cloud cover for the coast, the bay, and inland. Heres the Treasure Island camera. And the gray skies out there. So as we head through the afternoon, Cool Temperatures because of strong on shore flow. Daytime highs one to six degrees below average for this time of year. Low 80s concord and san jose. Upper 60s San Francisco. We warm up as we head to the weekend and labor day. Into good morning. Its thursday, august 29, 2019. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Ahead Hurricane Dorians latest track and the acting administrator of fema shows us how the agency is helping People Get Ready in florida. Plus, we ask juuls ceo if his product is safer than cigarettes. And a woman who is helping neighbors eat when they cant afford food. Great story. First, todays eye opener coming at you at 8. Hurricane dorian is gaining strength. The atlantic and millions of people in florida are being warned to be ready for the impact we think its going to be stronger. Its forecast to move slower than we originally thought. Thats a bad combination. Dorian in the caribbean moved around so much we, couldnt be sure where it was going to go. In italy yesterday scenes were normal, which means there were air strikes and reports of 16 civilians killed, including seven children. They are still vegetable that crash, but combs, who was known widely in jet racing, died doing what she loved. This is the residential street where her family believes Andrea Knabel was headed. She never made it, which is why you find this poster looking for her all over. One fan appears to have really had a really good time at the u. S. Open. Keep your eye on the woman at the top left corner of your screen. He was changing his shirt during the game. Going to take a picture of lopez. I feel so bad for her that she got caught. Look at her. She is like, yeah. Wait, wait, let me get my phone. Hold on. Ola at one point she is raising her eyebrows. I know. I think she was shooting the tennis court. Yes. No. She was interested in the foul line there. Youre right. She is going to get a hard time from friends. She liked it. I know. Im gayle king with tony dokoupil. You are leaving your shirt on, right . Do you have your camera ready . I actually do. Anthony mason is off. Adriana diaz is here. We are going to begin request this. Dorian is building into a major hurricane. Powerful winds and heavy rain damaged st. Thomas and other parts of the u. S. Virgin island yesterday. Puerto rico, which had been in dorians path, escaped the storm with minimal damage. Dorians eye is now north of puerto rico, moving towards the southeastern u. S. Florida is under a state of emergency. Lonnie quinn is here. Lonnie, where and when can we expect the storm it hit the coast . With the latest information is looks like its more sort of a labor day event. It looks like its going to be a very big storm. Its rapidly intensifying. The Current Conditions right now from the National Weather service this is the absolute latest information, a category 1 holding sted day 85mileperhour winds. Its focus to get bigger a lot faster. You can see what were talking about. Number one, what lies ahead of it . Super heated water. I will show you what i mean. Water at 79 degrees maintains a hurricane. If its warmer than 79 degrees that hurricane can start bubbling up. Look at this. This hurricane is going to travel over water that is 85 to 90 degrees. So thats one thing thats going to aid in the intensification. The second thing, there is no dry air around it. Yesterday it was surrounded by when you look at water vapor, the dry air is this red area you see right here. All this red that you can see was around the hurricane. Well, its no longer there. Its now on the back side of it. You see that pool of dry air . Its on the wrong side. Its not going to help to shrink this hurricane. Its going to get bigger. Then the forward speed slows down. The slower it goes, the more it sits over that warm water and with grow big aernd bigger. Right now 13 Miles Per Hour. You get to saturday up to 125 Miles Per Hour moving at 11 Miles Per Hour. Sunday its up to 130 Miles Per Hour. Now its moving only nine Miles Per Hour. And monday its holding on to that 130 Miles Per Hour as far as the wind paid but traveling forward at only five Miles Per Hour. So inland flooding is going to be a big problem here as well. A very major hurricane, a land strike somewhere around florida. Thank you. Peter gainer is the acting head of the federal Emergency Management agency. He joins us from femas headquarters. Good morning. Last night floridas governor has issued a state of emergency for the counties that are in the hurricanes path. What resources do you have on the ground there and what do you suggest people do to prepare . So we have been working with the governor and local officials starting as early as yesterday. I had a phone call with the governor later today. Our team is on the ground in florida and around florida making sure that the governor and local officials have everything they need to prepare for landfall of dorian. Now, earlier this summer you told congress that fema was short 2,000 people. Do you have enough staff to handle this if it makes landfall . We have plenty of staff. Its just not fema. Its our federal, private partners. You can see behind me here in washington, d. C. The National Response coordination center, the majority of these staff are from other federal agencies and we have plenty of people to respond to dorian or any other hurricane or threat we may have this atlantic hurricane season. Fema acknowledged in the past that they were not prepared for Hurricane Maria two years ago. What has the agency earnlearnedm those mistakes, do you think . We have learned a lot. Again, no threat or disaster is the same. So if i just go back to dorian landfalling in puerto rico, u. S. Virgin islands, one of the things we do differently is we have six times the commodities on island. Things like water, food, generators, and we have significant staff footprint on both the u. S. Vi and puerto rico. And our engagement with local officials and state officials i think is really one of the things were most proud about to make sure that there is no need that goes unnoticed or unaddressed when it comes to these major storms. And a quick question about funding. Yesterday we reported that more than 150 million that was going to be in your budget is instead going to be shifted to the border. Do you have enough money to afford that kind of loss . We do. Right now in our Disaster Relief fund we have 27 billion. The 155 million is really less than 1 . You know, we live with risk every day in this business. We assess that risk to be minimal. We are supporting the acting secretary and our partners in dhs with the emergency on the border, and we are fully confident that we have, again, enough money to deal with disasters from 2017 and 18 and deal with what we have in front of us for 2019. Peter guaner, thank you. You are welcome. Have great day. Good luck. Thank you. Only on cbs this morning, the ceo of the ecigarette giant juul responds to the companys critics. People say juul is toxic. Is it . The product or the company . Interestingly you would ask. The product. We toxicology test all of our products. Interesting indeed. Ahead, why he tells tony he could not answer all our questions about the safety much more news ahead.

Thunberg will protest outside the United Nations tomorrow and speak at a u. N. Climate change summit next month. Im so smitten with this little girl. I keep reminding myself shes only 16 with what shes doing. She told our Roxana Saberi in london shes an introvert. Look what shes doing. Shes inspiring a generation.

What are you doing . Big steve . Thanks, man. There he is. Get to know geico and see how much you could save on homeowners and renters insurance. Onle only cbs this morning, the ceo of juuls labs is expressing concern over vaping. Juul markets itself as an alternative to cigarettes and its job is to improve the lives of 100 million smokers and its goal seems to be paying off. Cigarette smokers has declined. According to a report this month by wells fargo, ecigarette sales by juul is the major reason for this decrease. Ceo kevin burns told us why he thinks thats great news. Is it true you track cigarette sales every friday and compare them to juul sales . Every monday at 9 00 a. M. Page three on the neilsen report. Thats the first thing i look at. You want to see them going down. Going down. You think juul is killing the cigarette. I think its absolutely contributing to the decline in cigarettes. You see a high decline of smoking. Were at three times the historical average in terms of the decline rate of cigarettes smoked new state. You think its safer. Im not going to comment. Cigarettes are here, the patch in the middle, and juul is here . Lets just say theyre the number one cause of death in the world. In 2020 may you have to file with the fda and prove to them you are a net good for Public Health. Correct. Thats taking into account underage use and taking into account the potential benefit for adults. Do you think you can meet that threshold that juul is a net good for Public Health . We think so. You feel confident . Yeah. We think so. The da will be the finally ash terror, but we think so, yes. The fda limits what it can say about if Public Health benefits. At one point following our change of product safety we had to break from our interview to determine what they could and couldnt say. The study youre going to file in ten months, what the do they tell you about the health and safety of the vapor when you develop it. Were restricted. We do toxicology testing on all of our products. People say juul is toxic. Is it . The product or company . Interesting you would ask. The product. We toxicology test all of our products. When you say the longterm effects of vaping are not known, thats true. Thats true. Thats a true statement. We think we have a product thats legal today, has tested for toxicity and does not present a risk based on the guidelines of the category today to the American Public. Fair to say if you knew this to be a toxic or dangerous substance, you wouldnt be selling it . I cant imagine that we would have the data support that were selling a product thats damaging to the American Public and we have that data that wed continue to sell that product. The reason i ask is the cobako industry doesnt have the greste record when its to telling the people the truth of what theyre selling. Could the same be true . Sure, sure. Theres a lot of association that comes with that in terms of the nicotine business. Sure, i understand that. Our job is to create the right kind of protocols, do the right kind of test, make sure its peer reviewed, deliver it in a transparent fashion and over time create some credibility. It ooh going to take a while to build that credibility. Did it hurt to take billions of dollars from altria . Certainly it hurt us in the health and scientific community. Certainly it hurt us. Why do it . We had lots of internal debates on this in terms of the pluses and minuses associated with this. This was not, you know, something where there was, you know, no downside in terms of perception or affiliation or ability. We understand that. The downside is public trust . No. I think theres a lot more pluses tore. Listen, my most most of my ration al fale for this is they going to help ak settle rate our mission. I have access to retail that i wouldnt have otherwise, access to research i wouldnt otherwise, access to 17 million smoker database i wouldnt have otherwise, that i can target smokers and talk specific le to those who are adult smokers. So theres a lot of pluses in terms of fulfilling our mission that go well beyond any financial contribution. Do you ever run into parents who think youre just a bloodsucking vice industry. I see perrinets all the time not fans of the company, not fans of folks who work for the company. What do they say to you . We cant talk on camera. Really. Its an emotional topic, and i understand that. The Research Shows its not only former smokers. Some people are starting juul and theyve never been on nicotine before. Whats your advice to people . Dont vape. Dont use juul. Dont start using nicotine if you dont have a preexisting relationship with nicotine. Dont use the product. Youre not our target consumer . And kevin burns even went on to say making money is not his number one priority right now. Its getting through that fda process. Youre skeptical. He thinks he can convince the Health Officials and company theyre a net good for health. I can see why hes being criticized and heavily attacked. You gave him a lot of time to tell his story and he didnt shy away from anything. I applaud that, especially during this time. No, absolutely. By the way, juul is going to help pay Convenience Stores to install that age verification technology. Yes. Theyre trying to do something. Theyre trying to make a difference. Yes. Good morning. It is 8 25. Multiple families displaced in contra could say sa county after a grass mire near marsh creek road. The cause of the fire is under investigation. And crews in napa county investigating a late night house fire the aa vacant home. Now a suspect is under arrest for starting it. It happened just after 11 00 in american canyon. No one was hurt.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Its time to bring you some of the stories we call talk of the table. People often tell me this is their favorite part of cbs this morning. Theyre curious to see what youre going to choose. Ill go first. Im talking about a remarkable apology from apple which is apologizing this morning for listening to a recording peoples comments to sera, the digital assistant. They say they were doing it for training purposes and to improve the device. The apology is really frank for a corporate apology. It says let me see if i can find it. I feel like gayle this morning with my papers. We realize we havent fully been living up to our high ideals and for that we apologize. People can opt out now from having this happen, but they hopia will let it happen to improve the service. Nothing better than saying were sorry. People accept it if they think youre sincere. It sounds sincere. I wish we would have to opt in versus opt out. Good point. You know. Ill get back to you on that. Do some original reporting, as always. I have a lovely story. Theres a 6yearold boy in iowa named hayden williams. He moved to a new house. He was afraid of what he was worried about, bad guys being in his new room, because he used to share a room with his sister. His mom took him to the local to cops about whether there were bad guys at home and then officer schwartz showed up at his house and looked in his room for bad guys. Found none there. Reassured him. When he went to school, officer schwartz showed up and he was so excited. I like that. Very nice. You could go door to door, right down the block. There are a lot of kids who are afraid of the bad guys. It shows once again what Police Officers do. We hear so many stories that are often negative about Police Officers. I believe the majority of cops out there want to do a. Job, want to engage with the public, and do that on a daily basis while risking their lives for strangers. I love that. Bravo, officer schwartz. Mine is about the dogs. You have heard of copycats. How about a dog that likes to copy, too . What you talking about, gayle . Take a look at this video. They show chiffon a picture, and she imitates the pose. Okay, thats pose number one. Watch chiffon. You can see chiffon looking at the picture. And then posing. But this is one that really gets me. Heres chiffon taking a look. Running back. And posing. Wow. Every time i see that, that cracks me up, because chiffon doesnt i dont know if chiffon is a boy or girl. Shes a girl. Thank you, betsy. This is chiffon with mom and dad, too. Just so cute. They look like little stuffed animals. I couldnt get enough of how shes looking and then posing and taking it all in. That is adorable. And goes to show how smart dogs are. Exactly right. Very smart. I do have an update. Users will have to optin on the apple listening device. Apple is listening to you as well. They might have heard your recommendation. Tony was serious. I knew it was on the page somewhere. I was trying to find it. Anyway, lets return to our esexclusive interview with kevin burns. He acknowledged we dont know the longterm effects of vaping. When you were considering this job, you took it in 2017, as i understand it, your daughter, 16, didnt want you to take it. Why . 15 at the time. She was worried, she did not know much about the product and the company. And she was worried what the Company Focus was and what the product was. She was a teenager at the time. She was already familiar with it. Didnt that tell you something . My teenage daughter doesnt recommend the 1. 1 billion smokers around the world. She has no exposure to smokers. We live in a community with very few smokers and a small smoker rate. For me, i looked at the opportunity to have a huge impact on the number one source of preventable death in the world, which is getting people off cigarettes. I said thats a massive Public Health opportunity. And our dr. Tara narula is here to break down what we do know about ecigarettes. Doctor, good morning. A lot to chew over in this conversation. What jumped out to jow . I think what jumps out to me is the issues with the lung disease that were seeing, that we reported on last week. We talked a lot about the effect of ecigarettes on the brain in the youth population, the cardiovascular taekts and a lot of these are intangible for parents and kids to wrap their mind around. Theyre long term problems. When you see a child intubated on a ventilator, this becomes very real and very scary. This is a wakeup call for every parent listening to the story to get up and have a conversation with their kids, today, tomorrow, this weekend, about vaping. You can argue the merits for smokers to help them quit, but nobody is saying that this has value or benefit in a youth population. So you see this as a call to action for parents. What should they know about the toxicity . What do you want them to know . I think they need to know i spoke to dr. Chapman yesterday innnesota, they said theyre seeing this pattern of inhalation injury that looks similar in all of the kids presenting, kids who previously had no lung disease, who were healthy, ages 15 to 23, who suddenly have shortness of breath, chest pain, and within days to a week are ending up on oxygen, on a ventilator. Many have been discharged but the question is what are the longterm ramifications going to be to the lungs. Parents dont even know their kids are vaping. The story in the news thrk parents are shocked as their child is in a medically induced coma that their kid is even vaping. We can no longer avoid this. It needs to be part of our understanding. We need to know the facts about what the problem are so we can explain that to our kids. We need to know what it looks like. Like a little usb thing. Like a pen, a usb. A lot can be easily concealed. Parents need to be on the lookout for that and have frank, open conversations with their kids starting very early, as early as kindergarten. Some of the teens who have gotten sick have reported using thc in these vaporizers. Is that part of the problem, that products that are not necessarily juul products, that are not necessarily nicotine are being put into these devices . That could be part of the problem, but we dont know. Theyre all on this right now because theyre seeing this flood of cases throughout the country, and we really do need to figure out what exactly it is. But in the meantime, the reality is whatever it is, it needs to be something thats avoided in a youth population. So that device on the table, that juul belongs to linda who is in hair and makeup who did my amazing wave this morning. Who is not a teenager. Who is an adult, an adult smoker who is now midway to switching, and shes trying to use juul to help her. She says she heard the reports of the lung illness, the coverage of it, and it makes her worry and it pushes her back toward cigarettes. Theres kind of two messages, the teen message and the adult message. What is the message to adults . Should they switch, should they not . I think we need more research. We said this before, and were getting more research. There was a study that came out in february looking at ecigarettes versus traditional nicotine replacement therapy. It may be that down the road we have proof that these are actually beneficial. But right now, as far as what is recommended, it is not one of the recommended ways we have the gum, the patch, other medications, counseling. But i dont think anybody can say that it doesnt potentially have value for current smokers. But thats one issue as you said. And what i really want to focus on when i think we really need to focus on is the youth population. What about all the people, when young people do things, they off do them together. What about teenagers who might be around vapors inhaling that vapor . Are there any secondhand risks . Because these have only been out for 11 years really on the market, not only do we not have longterm research on what the effects are on you, down the road, are you going to develop cancer, problems, we dont have research on the secondhand effects. It would make sense logically if youre inhaling something Something Else is using you could be exposed to what what the chemicals are. You said your concern is about the teenagers. It does seem like people like the juul mr. Burns, that they are now trying to dial it back on how they were marketing to teenagers. They say they never were marketing to teenagers but thats hard to believe when you look at some of the advertising but it seems like theyre dialing back and making it difficult for teens to get it. Thats a great thing. Unfortunately, were five or six years into this problem, so until juul is able to implement what its trying to do, until the fda has this, parents and schools need to be on the front lines. Parents need to recognize signs their children are using. For instance, are they going outside or do the bathroom during family gatherings. Do you smell a sweet odor oin their clothes or room that theyre trying to conceal with air freshener. Are they complaining of being thirsty, having nose bleeds, being irritable. Or you find something in their room that you dont know what it is, or cords or chargers. One thing parjts want to hear is the people responsible for the early juul ads, kevin burns tells me none of those people work for the company anymore. On the question of have they turned a pamg, they have changed the team. Theyre taking steps. Thank you so much for all that insight and all those tips. Tara is riled up.

And not having what they want to eat. As a mom, it makes you feel really sad that they dont want to eat ramen noodles or they dont want to eat the soup you got, but they have to because you dont have anything else to feed them.

Just of kind of provides a little bit of hope for people and not just in the sense that theres something there, but that other people care.
