Other editors Youth tobacco data highlights dangerous trend Years of hard work to reduce youth tobacco usage are threatened by a new technology. The use of e-cigarettes has increased dramatically among middle and high school students, according to a recent report, and the trend has sparked concern from public health advocates. In fact, a 2016 report from the Surgeon General calls e-cigarette use among U.S. youth and young adults “a major public health concern.” Those concerns came into even sharper focus earlier this month when the latest annual National Youth Tobacco Survey was released. It found that 3.6 Mississippi voices million middle and high school students were current e-cigarette users, more than double last year, as reported by the Daily Remembering Jeff Cole Journal’s Michaela Gibson Morris.

From Staff and Wire Reports

AUSTIN, Texas — The Mississippi State women’s basketball team’s toughest test of the early season had a familiar result: another rout. Jazzmun Holmes scored 17 points, Chloe Bibby had 14, and Teaira McCowan rebounded her way to a school record to help No. 6 MSU roll past No. 10 Texas 67-49 on Sunday in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The Bulldogs entered the marquee matchup of powerhouse programs braced for a slugfest Holmes after a series of early season blowouts. MSU has made it to the NCAA tour- nament final the last two seasons and Texas has advanced to the Sweet 16 or further each of the last four years. The Bulldogs barely gave the Longhorns a chance to take the floor before they were run- ning them off their home court. “I think my whole team had a presence today,” MSU coach Vic Schaefer said. “From tip to finish we were dominant. We played our game.” MSU earned its first victory against a top-10 squad this season. For the first time in school history, MSU held a top-10 team to less than 50 points. MSU also outscored Texas 48-28 in the paint and forced 22 turnovers. McCowan’s 12 rebounds gave her 1,109 for her career, breaking the school record of 1,108 set by LaToya Thomas. And while the score fell far below their average of 97 points, the Bulldogs were in complete control. MSU (8-0) ended the first quarter with a 10-0 run. The Bulldogs led by 17 at halftime and stretched it to 24 in the third quarter. Even when Texas made a run late in the period, Bibby beat the shot-clock buzzer with a layup and then made a 3-pointer to push the lead back to 20 to start the fourth quarter. Sug Sutton scored 16 points for Texas (7-1). The Longhorns scored their fewest points since they had 48 in loss to Baylor in 2016.
