When tobacco smoke threatens non-smokers
Tobacco smoke contributes to 41,000 non-smoker deaths every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A handful of studies, including one by the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, suggest even thirdhand smoke-chemicals and residue from tobacco smoke that settle on walls, clothes and furniture-might also cause harm, mostly for people in smokers' homes. Some tribes ban commercial tobacco smoking in certain areas. But is that enough to protect children and other nonsmokers?

There's no prize for appropriation
The editor of "Write" magazine came under fire for an editorial he wrote called "Winning the appropriation prize." In it, he encouraged authors to appropriate more; to write more about cultures and people they don't identify with. That sparked a debate on appropriation as other editors and authors from Canadian media weighed in. Are people missing something about appropriation? We'll talk with Indigenous writers from Canada about what appropriation is and how it affects Native people.
