A new study on the impact of juul ecigarettes on users health. And it shows juul Vape Products are very different than other ecigarettes. Andria borba joins us now with what makes juul vapes so much more addictive. It comes down to the amount of nicotine inside those vape pods. Inside those juuls that makes them so much more addictive according to ucsf researchers. Reporter inside a lab at the university of california San Francisco, one study produced two discoveries. The first that vaping is no different than cigarette smoke on your arteries. If you look at the amount by which the blood vessel function goes down, its roughly the same, whether theyve smoked a cigarette or taken a cycle of ecigarette vaping or juul vaping. Its roughly the same. Reporter and that San Franciscobased brand juul is particularly potent. Packed with five times as much nicotine per hit as other ecigs. Dr. Matthew springer led the study on rats in the lab, delivering vape snoke through this machine. The rats exposed to the juul had a lot more nicotine in their blood than the rats exposed to the regular cigarettes. Reporter he says the increased nicotine levels and Delivery System on the juul are even more highly addictive. Juul has a lot more nicotine. This is one of the things that makes juul hook kids. Reporter Humboldt State student says many of the vapors she knows claim its healthier, something she disagrees with. I think its really sad people are still doing it and they dont know what theyre putting into their bodies. Reporter dr. Springer says the bottom line is this. Just breathe clean air. Thats the takehome message. Reporter in a statement to kpix 5, a juul spokesperson says the goal in designing the amount of nicotine in the pods was to help smokers quit cigarettes. Providing a similar nicotine experience was a priority given the fact that early yen education ecigarettes failed on this respect and did not convert a significant number of adult smokers from cigarettes. Late last year another ucsf study linked vaping with a significant increase in the occurrence of chronic lung disease. Live in San Francisco tonight, andria borba, kpix 5. We just got word today that juul labs is shuffling its leadership ranks.

Climate scientists are keeping a close eye on the wildfires burning in australia. Kit do on the never before seen phenomenon thats been fuelling them. The Meteorology Department here at san jose state says some of the things happening in australia right now have never before been seen in human history. Youre looking at video of the australian fire shot from a commercial airliner. A weather phenomenon that up until now was rare and unusual. Its called a pyrocumulonimbus. Its a fire generated thunderstorm. Its when a fire gets so big and theres so much heat release, that the air mass from the fire actually rises vertically into the atmosphere but really, really deep, unlike most smoke plugs. As a result, they could be seen from space. If they look ominous here, this is what its like to fly through one. Whats more, they also spawn fire tornados, along with lightning and heavy down drafts that carry embers for miles and cause spot fires far away from the main fire line. Craig clemens, head of san jose states fire weather lab, says their numbers and intensity are unprecedented. To have so many at one time is unique. This is probably the largest outbreak of pyrocumulonimbus on earth. Reporter at this rate theyll have to wait for a few more months until fall or winter rains douse the flames. Which begs the question, is this related to Climate Change . Im 100 sure its a factor. Reporter dr. Allison bridges says it will take months to make a Firm Determination but all signs point to one thing. Theres been a lot of effort to ascribe severe extreme weather events to Climate Change and theyre all coming up with the same answer which is that there is a connection. So i dont know why this would be any different. Reporter in san jose, kit do, kpix 5. A new problem popping up at the site of a large homeless camp in santa rosa. John ramos on the pest control issue thats complicating the issue. Reporter this video taken from a sonoma sheriffs helicopter shows the ghostly infrared images of rats scurrying around the homeless encampment. Angry neighbors see it as one more burden being created by the homeless, but the campers arent exactly thrilled by it either. Theres lots of rats. There is. It isnt sanitary really. Reporter kelly lives here and says many of the campers try to keep their areas clean but there are also those who continue to create a rodent breeding ground by hoarding trash and clutter. Why do they do that . I dont know. Some people think treasures, other people just have a problem collecting things. I dont know. Reporter a Pest Control Company was supposed to begin placing rat traps and spreading bait to keep females from breeding. But campers say there was no sign of them as of this morning. Instead members of the Clean River Alliance were out collecting the trash that attracts the rodents, including this huge pile that wasnt created by the homeless at all. But by someone who used the encampment as a dumping ground. They actually broke down one of the posts out here, drove through illegally on the trail, and dumped a load of trash here at the end of the trail. Thats how it is here. This trash was dumped by someone else. But the homeless will be seen as the reason its here at all. Volunteers who come to the trail to hand out sandwiches and Second Hand Clothing say the campers are not just the source of the problem but also its biggest victims. It just took the trail for all of us to see it. I also think it had to come into our faces. We had to see this for someone to do something about it. Officials are beginning to take action. 11 portable toilets have been brought in and the garbage is going to be hauled out three days a week. Experts say as long as you have large piles of trash, youre going to have rats. In santa rosa, john ramos, kpix 5.
