Ep7 Мда треш (exploring Russian tiktok trends)

Fewer young people in the US are vaping this year than at any point in the last decade, government officials have reported.

The latest survey numbers show the teen vaping rate fell to under 6% this year, down from 7.7% in 2023. More than 1.6 million students aged between 11 and 18 reported vaping in the previous month — about one-third the number in 2019, when underage vaping peaked.

Brian King from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the decline was good news but added: "There's clearly more work to do to further reduce youth use."

It is illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product to anyone aged under 21.

King and other officials noted that the drop in vaping hasn't led to an increase in the use of other tobacco industry products, such as nicotine pouches.

Sales of small, flavored pouches like Zyn have increased among adults. The pouches come in flavors like mint and cinnamon and slowly release nicotine when placed behind the lips. This year's US survey shows 1.8% of teens are using them, which is about the same percentage as last year.

The survey involved more than 29,000 students, who completed an online questionnaire in the spring.

Officials from the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention attributed the big drop in vaping to recent age restrictions and more aggressive enforcement against retailers and manufacturers, including Chinese vaping companies who have sold their e-cigarettes illegally in the US for years.

Use of the most popular e-cigarette among teens, Elf Bar, fell 36% in the wake of FDA warning letters to stores and distributors selling the brightly colored vapes, which come in flavors like watermelon ice and peach mango.

Nearly 90% of the students who vape used flavored products, with fruit flavors the most popular.

In 2020, FDA regulators banned fruit and candy flavors from reusable e-cigarettes like Juul.

Welcome to learn easy Thai with Kru sumon.  

Today we will learn how to speak Thai from a short conversation during a phone call.  This is a conversation between A and B. 

A : สวัสดีค่ะ  ขอสาย คุณแมรี่ ค่ะ
(sa-wad-dee kha , khor saai khun Mary kha)

B: รอซักครุ่ค่ะ ... ขอโทษนะคะ คุณแมรี่ ไม่อยุ่ค่ะ ให้โทรกลับมั้ยคะ
(ror sak khroo kha.  Khor tote na kha. Khun Mary mai yoo kha. Hai toe glap mai kha?)

A: ไม่เป็นไรค่ะ เดี๋ยวโทรมาใหม่
(mai bpen rai kha.  Diao toe maa mai)

This is a situation where A made a phone call and B picked up the phone. A is asking for Mary.
B. told A to wait and then inform that Mary is not in. 
B asked if A want Mary to call her back.
A said No.

From this conversation , we learn that :

When you make a phone call , and ask for some one. You will say
ขอสาย ...................  (khor saai ……………)
followed by the name of person

or you also can add one more word here 
ขอสาย .................. หน่อย  (khor saai……….. noi)
put Noi at the end to soften the sentence.


when you want someone to wait, you will say
รอซักครู่  (ror sak kroo)
= wait a moment , please

When you want to say “Sorry”, you will say
ขอโทษ  (khor tote)  = sorry

When you want to ask if the listener want the person to call him or her back, you will say
ให้โทรกลับมั้ย (hai toe glab mai?)  = Do you want (the person) to call you back?

If you want to refuse this question, you will say
ไม่เป็นไร  
Actually ไม่เป็นไร means , that’s fine. It doesn’t matter. I am ok.

When you want to say I will call back later, you will say
เดี๋ยวโทรกลับมาใหม่  (diao toe glab maa mai) = I will call back later.
