tobacco

The trial against Meta increasingly resembles that of tobacco. Zuckerberg has sworn things that his internal documents contradict

by

Mark Zuckerberg has been testifying under oath in Los Angeles in what is already considered the largest trial in history against a social network. And each session leaves uncomfortable headlines for Meta. What is happening. A Los Angeles court judges whether Instagram is a platform designed to hook minors. The plaintiff, a 20-year-old woman identified as KGM, alleges that she became addicted to Instagram when she was nine years old and that it ruined her mental health during her adolescence. It is not the only case, since behind this trial there are more than 1,600 plaintiffshundreds of families and more than 250 school districts with similar complaints against Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snap. These last two reached a financial agreement before the trial began. Meta and Google are still in. Tobacco. The parallel that is most repeated in the American media is that of the tobacco companies in the nineties, since the companies that knew about the damage caused by their products hid it and paid for the consequences decades later in court. Here the accusation holds that Meta designed features like the infinite scroll‘likes’, push notifications… All with the deliberate objective of maximizing the time that users spent in the app, including minors. The company’s internal documents are being the heaviest ammunition in the trial. What those documents say. During cross-examination, the plaintiff’s attorney, Mark Lanier, was presenting emails and internal messages from Meta before the jury. One of the most striking: a researcher from the company itself wrote in an email that “Instagram is a drug… we are basically traffickers,” according to shared the Financial Times. Another document, from 2018, estimated that in 2015 there were four million users under the age of 13 on Instagram, which was equivalent to approximately 30% of all American children between 10 and 12 years old. Zuckerberg had declared before Congress that minors under that age could not use the platform. Where the testimony squeaks. Zuckerberg insisted before the jury that Meta never aimed to maximize the time users spent in the app, that the company focuses on long-term “value” and “utility.” The problem is that the accusation brought to the table emails of his from between 2013 and 2022 in which this increase in screen time appears explicitly as an internal goal. He also presented documents from Adam Mosseri, director of Instagram, with specific objectives: reaching 40 minutes of daily use in 2023 and 46 minutes in 2026. Zuckerberg responded that these data are “milestones” to measure results, not objectives in themselves. lyou filters. One of the most tense moments of the statement came with questions about Instagram filters, you know, the ones that users can apply to their face through the camera. In 2019, Meta temporarily suspended them to study its impact. 18 experts consulted by the company itself concluded that they caused well-being problems, especially among adolescents, with effects linked to body dysmorphia. Zuckerberg decided to lift the restriction as well. At the trial he explained that he preferred “to err on the side of giving people the opportunity to express themselves” and that the restrictions seemed “paternalistic” to him. The prosecution also showed the jury an email from Margaret Stewart, then vice president of product design at Meta, warning that, although he would comply with Zuckerberg’s decision, he did not believe it was “the right decision given the risks.” Between the lines. What makes this trial especially delicate for Meta is not only what Zuckerberg says now, but the distance between that story and what has been revealed over time through internal documentation and emails. The accusation opts for a strategy in order to show that the company knew about it, that it discussed it internally and that it still prioritized the growth of its platform. What is at stake? Goal. An unfavorable ruling in Los Angeles would not only be an economic blow, as it would set a precedent for thousands of similar lawsuits that are waiting in courts across the country (and around the globe, perhaps). For now, there are similar cases planned for this summer in Northern California, focused on the impact on schools, and another trial already underway in New Mexico where the state attorney general accuses Meta of failing to protect minors from sexual predators on its platforms. “For the first time, Meta’s CEO will have to sit before a jury, under oath, and explain why the company launched a product that its own safety teams warned was addictive and harmful to children,” counted Matt Bergman, attorney representing hundreds of plaintiffs. And now what. The trial is expected to last until the end of March, according to they count from Bloomberg. Meta maintains its defense on two fronts: that science does not prove that social networks are addictive and that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act exempts them from responsibility for the content that users publish. The prosecution, however, insists that the case is not about content, but about deliberate decisions about how the application is built.

YouTube tries to escape a historic trial that compares it to Facebook and tobacco

by

YouTube’s lawyers made their argument clear: they are not a social network and They are not addictive. Those statements came as part of those initial statements in the important trial to which they have been subjected both to them and to those responsible for Meta. What happens in this legal process could pose important changes in the future of these platforms. “We are more like Netflix than Facebook”. YouTube’s lawyers indicated in their initial defense that YouTube is an entertainment platform more similar to Netflix than a social network like Facebook. They also gave examples of its usefulness: people use their videos to learn how to cook, knit, or become pop stars. They don’t design it for subject users to infinite scroll“We’re not trying to get into your brain and rewire it. We’re just asking you what you want to see.” The accusation: YouTube and Instagram are addictive. A 20-year-old California woman identified as KGM has accused these platforms of create addictive applications that harm mental health. She claims to have been one of the victims, in fact. It is a recurring theme and almost even unofficially acceptedbut there are no legal sentences that confirm and punish what is happening. And when there could have been mysterious previous agreements arrived to those processes. That has led to a lawsuit involving Meta, Snap, TikTok and YouTube. The moment is delicate and very striking. The CEO of Instagram throws things out. Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, He assured in his appearance that the platform has security protocols for teenagers. Although it admitted that social media can be harmful, the company is careful and tests features that will reach young people before launching them. He further noted that people can be addicted to social media in the same way as they are to a television show, but that was not the same as being “clinically addicted.” Tipping point for social media. The trial is especially significant because it occurs precisely at a historical moment in which various countries are implementing (or planning to implement) age verification systems so that minors cannot access social networks. States want to regulate and control social networks on the Internet, so the first step is to define what a social network is. This is what this judgment is about: putting some on one side and others on the other. YouTube certainly stands on a very thin line here, and will undoubtedly try to evade the problem with arguments such as those put forward. Social networks wash their hands. Even though there are scientific studies that suggest that there is a behavior similar to that of other addictions, technology companies have always avoided that discourse or They have tried to remove iron. It is somewhat ironic considering that they make the most of the functioning of our brain (hello digital slots). Companies point in The New York Timesthey not only argue that this scientific evidence does not exist (or is not conclusive), but they point to federal laws—the well-known Section 230— that protect them: we are not responsible for what users publish online, they say. A case that can set precedents. There are thousands of pending lawsuits very similar to this one, but this case has become the spearhead of all those efforts that want to punish social networks for “hooking” users. KGM’s lawyer argued Monday that she had become trapped in YouTube and Instagram because those apps were like “digital casinos.” It’s already over with tobacco. Meta documents displayed at trial mentioned how its employees compared its tactics to those used by companies in the tobacco industry. That is very dangerous, because the lawsuits against those companies in the 90s led to multimillion-dollar settlements for those companies. Are you a social network or not? The argument used by the prosecution was the same one that is being used now: the platforms “sell” a harmful product knowing that they are doing so. History could repeat itself now, and that would condemn platforms that fall within the definition of “social network.” And precisely what YouTube is trying to avoid is that: not falling into that definition.

Extremadura has silently taken over 99% of an unexpected crop: Spanish tobacco

by

These are not good times for tobacco cultivation. At least in the European Union, which has seen how in recent decades its weight has been decreasing in the fields. If at the beginning of the 90s I harvested 400,000 tonsat the end of the last decade that figure was already at 140,000. In Spain the situation is not much better: in 2024 The production volume (and hectares) was much lower than just ten years ago. That does not mean that tobacco does not continue to play a relevant role in part of the Spanish agrarian map. In fact there is a region that stands out for its contribution at national and European level: Extremadura. Only there it is concentrated 99% of the crop and the transformation of tobacco in Spain, which leads the sector to boast an economic impact of 126 million. Tobacco “made in” Extremadura. In Spain it is impossible to talk about tobacco without also talking about Extremadura. This was recently claimed by the sector in a report of AFI that leaves an eloquent figure: the cultivation and the first processing of the tobacco leaf generates in the region 69 million euros of added value, more or less 99% of the national total. The percentage is so overwhelming that the industry itself emphasizes that Extremadura is “the main producing center in the country and the first producing region at the European level.” If the focus is expanded, the Tobacco Roundtable estimates that the sector has a total impact of 126 million in the community and generates hundreds of jobs. To be more precise, it speaks of more than a thousand of direct positions, a figure that rises to 2,000 contracts full-time if indirect and induced workers are included. X-raying the sector. The Tobacco Table is not the only one that highlights the overwhelming weight of Extremadura. The Ministry of Agriculture itself recognizes that, according to data from the 2020 Agrarian Census (the latest available), the region brings together 94% of the 1,052 farms that exist in Spain. The activity focuses mainly on the north of the province of Cáceresin the regions of Campo Arañuelo, La Vera, Alagón, Talayuela and Navalmoral de la Mata. Beyond Extremadura. The agricultural map is basically completed with Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha and Navarra, although they dedicate many fewer hectares to tobacco. In 2024 Extremadura allocated 6,121compared to the 19 in Castilla y León, the 18 in Castilla-La Mancha and the three in Navarra. global photography of the sector is, however, much more complex. In the Canary Islands there is an outstanding manufacturing hub, in Cantabria there is the Entrambasaguas factoryfrom Altadis, “the main industrial production center on the peninsula”, and the Community of Madrid also benefits from hosting the headquarters of the Spanish subsidiaries of the large multinationals in the sector. In general, the Tobacco Table estimates that the sector contributes to the national GDP with 1,825 million eurosa figure that would exceed 3,700 if the total impact is included. Tobacco taxes are another source of substantial income for the State. The group speaks of around 6,700 million collected through the Tax on Tobacco Products, although the total fiscal contribution of the sector would be very high and would exceed 10,100 million euros annually. Getting perspective. Extremadura plays a prominent role on the Spanish (even European) tobacco map, but in reality our country accounts for a tiny part of the sector worldwide. Although the Spanish contribution represents about 19% of the total of the European Union, which usually places our country among the main producersrepresents 0.5% of global production. Your footprint It is very far from the big ones manufacturing powers like China, India or Brazil. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Spain would occupy 36th place among tobacco producers by area. Its 8,450 hectares (2021) are in fact nothing when compared to China (1,014,553), India (431,146) or other producers in America and Africa. better times. After years of regulation and awareness campaigns, the European industry is not going through its best moment either. In 2018 the EC calculated that around 140,000 tonnes of tobacco were grown in the Union as a whole, a far cry from the 400,000 at the beginning of the 1990s. The cultivated area has also been reduced. Nothing surprising if we take into account the increasingly complex scenario facing the sector and the collapse of consumption. In fact Extremadura exports about 74% of the tobacco leaf he collects. The MAP data They also note the drop in production (and cultivated area) in recent years in Spain, although performance improves.

We have been wondering for years if we can put an end to tobacco once and for all. Maldives is convinced that yes

by

We live in 2025 and, as you have surely noticed, there are people who smoke. Many people, in fact: according to estimates that we handle, more than a billion people will smoke in the near future. And it is a bit infuriating because it not only shows the inability of our societies to put a stop to a habit that kills seven million people every year. But it shows that we don’t want to solve the problem either. The best example is what is happening in the Maldives. What is happening? Well, as just approvedfrom November 1, 2025, no one born on or after January 1, 2007 will be able to buy or consume tobacco in the Maldives. It’s something about what is being talked about for a long time: given the difficulties in prohibiting tobacco (due to the large mass of smokers there are), a large generational ban is proposed. Obviously, it is not an isolated event. In recent years, Maldives has hardened (and a lot) its tobacco policy. It has banned all electronic cigarettes, raised tariffs and increased fines for everything related to this product. It’s not a new idea. On the contrary, there was a plan like this in New Zealand (which ended up repealed) and in the UK They have been discussing it for years. However, the Maldives has become the first country to implement a nationwide generational ban. It is, therefore, the end of the road of a long social controversy about how to put an end to the tobacco industry once and for all: an imperative measure (on a health level), questionable (on an ethical level) and, until now, unviable (on a political level). That is why the Maldivian experiment is so interesting: because it is a gamble with a health, legal and tourism impact that we are only now going to begin to understand. Although that doesn’t mean we go blind. There are incontestable realities: when we talk about tobacco we are not only talking about the economic burden derived from health (cardiovascular diseases, COPD, cancer…) but also the social burden derived from the dependence of consumers and its negative effects on their quality of life (sleep disturbance, anxiety and other psychological problems). We must not lose sight of the fact that in the Maldives, for example, around half of men smoke. A radical measure that has been highly disputed for years. During the processing of the idea in UK the controversy was enormous. And it is logical: a priori, it is a measure that attacks one of the basic foundations of any rule of law, equality before the law. In this case, a social model is created with “differentiated rights” depending on the year of birth. Nobody doubts the savings and improvement in public health that it would cause; but many people believe that the proportionality of the measure, the loss of tax revenue and the difficulty of execution They turn it into a toast to the sun. Europe is not talking about any of this for now, but everyone is looking at the Malvinas… if it works, it will be a conversation we will have to have.

Using aerial balloons to smuggle tobacco is common in Eastern Europe. And then the airports have a problem

by

The airport of Vilnius, Lithuania, has been forced to close its doors throughout the night from last Tuesday to Wednesday due to the massive entry of hot air balloons loaded with cigarettes smuggled from Belarus. The closure, which lasted from 11:00 p.m. until 6:30 a.m., has affected around 4,000 passengers and caused the cancellation of 30 flights. The worst thing is that It hasn’t been the first time that the airport is facing this situation. What has happened. Dozens of weather balloons used by smugglers to transport tobacco from Belarus crossed Lithuanian airspace overnight. According to Vilmantas Vitkauskas, head of Lithuania’s National Crisis Management Center, called it “the most intense raid of the year.” Incoming flights had to be diverted to other airports, including Warsaw and Kaunas, while two land border crossings between the two countries were also temporarily closed for the same reason. Why do they use balloons? Smugglers take advantage of the fact that tobacco is significantly more expensive in the European Union than in Belarus. Using these hot air balloons, they send thousands of packages of illegal cigarettes across the border without having to go through customs controls. The images spread The media shows large balloons floating between the trees with cigarette packs hanging below. It’s not the first time. On October 5, just two weeks before, Vilnius airport had already had to suspend operations for hours for a similar incident. On that occasion, 25 balloons crossed Lithuanian airspace, affecting around 6,000 passengers. According to official data published this month, a total of 966 balloons entered Lithuania last year and more than 500 have already done so so far in 2025. Neighboring Poland has recorded more than 100 similar incidents this year, according to its border police. The Government’s response. Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė has announced the call for an urgent meeting of the National Security Committee to address the problem. “It is not normal that so many balloons cross our border and that we have to intercept them to keep them away from our strategic installations,” he declared. Ruginienė has urged authorities in Minsk to cooperate to prevent future incidents, calling on Belarus to take “a responsible approach towards these events, regardless of our political relations.” A security issue. The commander general of the Lithuanian Border Guard, Rustamas Liubajevas, confirmed that hundreds of balloons could have crossed the border last Tuesday and that four suspects have been detained. The Lithuanian authorities have been authorized to shoot down these balloons since last year. Although these incidents are directly linked to smuggling, violations of Lithuanian airspace are a particularly sensitive issue: the country is a member of NATO and the EU, and in July suspected russian drones They crossed its territory from Belarus, one of them carrying explosives. Vilnius is located just 32 kilometers from the border with Belarus, Vladimir Putin’s main ally in Europe.

The Government has approved its draft reform of the tobacco law

by

Anti -tabaco legislation in Spain has been pending review years. Almost 15 years have passed since the last major reform and the government carries At least 2023 working in a parked measure “In a drawer“Until the end of that year. Now, the draft reform of the tobacco law has gone through the Council of Ministers. What can we expect. The future norm, which You will still have to go through the legislative filterwould include the prohibition of smoking on terraces, as well as new measures to Regular vapers and electronic cigarettesand more restrictions to avoid the consumption of tobacco among minors. The project modifies the 2005 Anti -Tabaco Law, a standard that has already suffered an important reform 15 years ago but that has not been adapted to the new trends and forms of consumption. The new standard is part of the Comprehensive Plan for the Prevention and Control of Smoking 2024-2027. Tobacco in terraces. Throughout these last months, one of the aspects of the bill that more attention has generated It has been the prohibition of smoking on the terraces of the hospitality premises. If the last great reform of the Anti -Tabaco Law prohibited tobacco in almost all of the closed public spaces, the new standard will go one step further by restricting consumption in open and semi -raised spaces such as bars and restaurant terraces. This not only affects bars and restaurants terraces, but also including exteriors of health, educational, university and social centers, and children’s or cultural or sports areas. Vapeo, electronic cigarettes, and more. One of the most anticipated aspects is the incorporation to the law of new ways of smoking and consuming tobacco that have rooted in society. According to the Ministry of Health In a press releasethe new regulation defines and regulates more specifically the so -called “tobacco -related products.” The list of these products includes electronic cigarettes, with or without nicotine; Nicotine sachets for oral use; And devices for Consumption of heated products. They also include “herbal products, used to smoking, vaporizing or inhaling”, which includes for example Shishas and also the plantless plant mixtures. In the press release, the Ministry Point out That these products “although they do not always contain tobacco or nicotine, are linked to the act of smoking or inhaling, in addition to increasing the risk of smoking conventional tobacco.” If the rule thrives, these products will be applied to the same “same legal restrictions as (al) conventional tobacco”. Sale prohibited, prohibited consumption. Another important change is in the consumption of tobacco by minors. Until now the restrictions focused on avoiding the sale of tobacco. The new standard becomes consumption to minors, analogous to how it was proposed to do With alcohol. Observatory for smoking prevention. The reform includes other relevant points, such as the creation of the Observatory for Smoking Prevention. The new standard also changes regulation around the or advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco products (and related products), incorporating new restrictions.

The counterculture gen Z does not smell like tobacco or drinks, but to coffee and early dinners

by

Swallow at seven in the afternoon, or even before, it was until recently a gesture associated with tourists from northern Europe or retirees who surprised the waiters for their punctuality. But that costumbrista postcard is transforming. A new generation, the Z, has turned early dinner into an act of modernity: they reserve a table at six, they ask for mocktails instead of cocktails and, in parallel, they reinvent up to the holidays with coffee. CENING EARLY. According to a report from The TimesLondon restaurants record a growth of reserves at 18:00 of 11% compared to last year, and the new national average hour for dinner is 18:12. What was previously an empty shift is now full of young people looking for tranquility, trains on time and an environment where conversation is heard better than background music. A trend that was already settled in the United States. According to The Wall Street Journalrestaurants serve 10% of their customers between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., twice as much as in 2019. Broadway advances functions at seven in the afternoon and cinemas have replaced night premises with Matinés. Even in New Orleans, where the holidays used to start at one in the morning, the concerts now end before eleven. Why is this hurry for dinner? What began as a postpandemic anomaly has become a structural change. “Those who telework usually start and end before, which naturally leads to dinner earlier,” explained Professor Lucia Reisch, from the University of Cambridge, In The Times. The confinement broke routines and allowed many rethinking the schedules. The idea of getting home at nine o’clock after dinner began to lose attractive. For restorators, this cultural turn opens a new front. Chef Joe Laker, at his local Counter 71 of Shoreditch, London, has summarized it in the same medium: “Many of our guests now live further than before. They want to have dinner early so they don’t have to run to take the last train.” Its £ 50 menu at six in the afternoon is not only a gastronomic change, but a symbol of accessibility: haute cuisine without the requirement of a late closure. Well -being before bustle. The movement is not explained only by logistics. There is an increasing awareness that eating late affects the body. According to Voguethe Z generation is popularizing the intermittent fasting in its 12/12 version, with an ideal dinner range between 17:30 and 19:00. Dr. Joseph Antun has explained it as a circadian issue: “That period of time to digest before the nightlife is activated.” Early dinner is not only digestive: it is preventive. “Going out to eat is becoming a way of socializing without sacrificing other objectives,” said Linda Haden, from Luminina Intelligence, In The Times. That translates into visible habits: More shakes and less cocktails at the tables, Skincare routines Before sleeping and morning training without hangover. Less alcohol, more coffee. Generation Z, As Business has stressed Insiderit relates distantly to alcohol. They prefer “sober” experiences and functional drinks. It is no accident that raves are also mutating. As we have explained in Xatakain cities like Madrid or Barcelona, the Coffee Raves triumph: morning parties in cafes converted into clubs where young people dance with cappuccinos in their hand. What at other times was synonymous with rebellion – excess, Blackout, hangover – is now replaced by an equal countercultural act: stay lucid, dance at dawn and connect with others without substance. “I didn’t want to give up the fun to leave, but I didn’t want to continue turning around something that became ill,” said Lauren Branc, founder of The Oracle Project, In a report on these parties. A consumption with conscience. The background of this transformation is broader than a schedule change. According to a Capgemini report73% of consumers of generation Z prioritize sustainable products, compared to 64% global. Early dinner is just one more piece of a lifestyle where health, planet and pocket are taken care of. In other words, rest, diet, sport and money management have become pillars of everyday life. Eating before is, in that sense, strategic: less expense in posterior glasses, more hours of sleep and more energy the next day. Table for six. “Senter at 18:00 indicates the end of the working day. It is not just about eating, but about recovering time,” Analyst Peter Backman has detailed to The Times. In that seemingly simple gesture – the table at six in the afternoon – generation Z is reformulating the relationship between work, leisure and health. The early dinner, which was once associated with Nordic and retired tourists, now becomes a symbol of modernity. It is not just a menu or clock change: it is a reflection of how young people rewrite their ways of socializing, taking care and projecting the future.

Health has just confirmed that the new tobacco law goes after the terraces. And it is not the only environment that wants smokeless

by

Terrazas, Marquesinas, University Campus, Teaching Centers, Sports Facilities and Labor Vehicles will be some of the new environments where smoking will be prohibited. At least that’s what the Ministry of Health seeks, that is working to reform the current anti -tabaco legislation, with the objective of “protecting public health and” denormalizing tobacco consumption in shared spaces. ”The plan is part of a broader strategy that seeks to reduce the impact of smoking, a threat that, according to Minister Mónica García, causes 30 % of cancers. A commitment that had been paused for years. The measure is not new, but so far it had not left the drawer. In 2021 a draft had already been written With proposals in this line, also including an increase in tobacco taxes and a stricter regulation of vapeo. That plan, prepared with the recommendations of scientific and medical societies, was two years paralyzed until Minister Mónica García, who took possession in November 2023he boost him again. Click to see the message of the Minister of Health in X Social consensus has changed. The idea of ​​prohibiting smoking on terraces was one of the most controversial when it began to consider, but public acceptance data has evolved over time. A survey of The Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (SEMFYC) pointed out in 2022 that 72 % of the population would agree to expand these smokeless spaces, including part of the smoking citizenship. Although without mentioning a specific survey, Health has pointed out that the measures raised “are backed by a majority of citizens.” New devices, same regulation. One of the most relevant changes posed by the reform is Normative comparison of electronic cigarettes and tobacco devices heated with conventional tobacco. In practice, that implies that these products will have the same restrictions of use in public spaces, without exceptions. The text that develops this aspect already It has been sent To the European Union for its evaluation, within the usual procedure. The challenge: convert the draft into law. For now, the reform is in the elaboration phase and must overcome several filters. First, the approval in the Council of Ministers, and then a parliamentary process where the support of other political forces will be needed. Everything can change in that process. Even so, the ministry insists on the importance of progressing quickly. A national strategy for 2030. The fight against smoking is part of a more ambitious national strategy. The objective shared with the Spanish Association against Cancer is clear: achieve the first generation of young Spaniards free of tobacco by the year 2030. For this, in addition to expanding smokeless spaces, Health plans to promote the unique packaging, finance treatments to quit smoking from the National Health System and advance measures that hinder the access of young people to tobacco. Not only physical health: also mental health and equity. Exposure to tobacco smoke does not affect all people equally. The Ministry puts the Focus on vulnerable groupsas minors or pregnant people, and raises this reform from an equity approach. Every person, argues healing, has the right to safe environments no longer to be involuntarily exposed to smoke.
