There are many people out there that enjoy a cigarette out on the terrace or on their balcony or even in their home. However, there are many smokers who want to quit badly, but they have no idea how to stay away from the nicotine. They have tried numerous things such as nicotine gum, nicotine patches and cold turkey quitting, but then the stress comes and next think you know, the smoker has gone through a pack of cigarettes in a day. This is where vaping comes in; it comes in fun flavors such as root beer, cotton candy, and peach iced tea. It also does not smell terrible like cigarettes. You can choose the amount of nicotine that goes into the vape, so you can keep lowering the nicotine content until you smoke no more cigarettes. I am not saying that you will not have the craving from time to time, but there is a good chance you can quit smoking for good.

We all grew up knowing that one kid who had an inhaler with them during gym class. Some of those kids had grown out of asthma, but others still have the condition. In health care we always hear about the serious illnesses such as cancer, stroke, and heart attacks, we tend to forget about asthma and the amount of deaths that are caused by an asthma attack. Around 1,000 asthma patients die each day from an attack. Globally, it affects 339 million people world wide, to break it down further 7.7 percent of adults have it and 8.2 percent of children have it. One of the reasons for the deaths that occur is because patients are not taking in the proper amount of medication. This is where the smart inhaler comes in. The smart inhaler uses Bluetooth in order to notify the patient of when to take their medication. It also "collects data and gathers information to help guide care." This device is still new in the health care system and right now the device gives actuation of when a patient has taken their inhaler. It records a time and date stamp.

I am not going to sit by and let someone take down one of the greatest sitcoms in history. Recently, I read an article on Facebook that basically tore Friends apart. However, the author mentions that it is the whitest show and I did not realize this until it was pointed out. However, there were characters from different backgrounds such as Emily who was English, and Julie who had an Asian background. Charlie was also a character of color, so really I feel that this author of the Insider article had only watched a few episodes here and there; also the guy that went up against Joey for the part of Nick the boxer was also not white. When Rachel and Phoebe were taking the self-defense class, the instructor was once again not white. However, they could have put some people of a visible minority in the series. Yet, they still had love interests and other characters in the show that were not all white. Charlie played a major role in Friends near the end of the series. So, no the show is not only about spoiled rich people, there are many different characters that show up in the show. They had a diversity of cultures in the mesh. It was not all American.

September hit and now all of the leaves are turning into their colors of orange, gold, red, and yellow. This means that Halloween is just around the corner. The easiest costumes to make are usually with makeup. Simple costumes are usually the cheaper and faster option for Halloween. So, here is a list of easy DIY Halloween costumes.

Now, that streaming videos and shows is more popular than watching actual television, big companies such as Disney have found that they can make more money. It is true they can and they will, for I myself will fall to be a victim of getting Disney+ after it launches. On November 12, 2019 it will launch and the starting price will be $8.99 and I am assuming those are in USD. Here are some shows that will appear on Disney+.

Sit-coms have been altered, and there is no longer a laugh track. Instead there is some awkward comedy and some hilarious moments, for example, Brooklyn 99 is legendary. We all love watching Friends over and over again, and seems no matter how many times I watch it, I am still laughing at the jokes. However, what if we are simply misinterpreting How I Met Your Mother. The story is told from the narrator's point of view, Ted Mosby, who is a helpless romantic living in New York city, finding the love of his life. All of his friends he has are all seen from his point of view. We might find the characters unrelatable at times. But maybe this is what the writers wanted? How so, you ask? Well, think about it, Barney is so unrealistically horny, and he wants to have no real relationship and just have sex. Much like Joey Tribiani from Friends, except the difference is that Barney takes all challenges, and basically has sex with anything or any woman that moves. Maybe this is just how Ted sees Barney, when realistically Barney is really just Joey Tribiani, but takes his game to the next level. Then, how perfect Marshal and Lily are—they are also probably not that perfect, again this is just how Ted Mosby sees them. Then, how perfect Robin is—she is always perfect in each and every episode, it feels like she has not once screwed up. Once again, this is all coming from Ted's perspective. It is not how the television wanted to show them. It was how Ted saw all of his friends. When he tells some of the stories, he sometimes has to go back and tell it again, or starts telling another story that is linked to another episode. That's what makes the show relatable. It is how Ted tells the stories, and how he sometimes can't remember certain aspects, so he just makes it up as he goes. Even Barney's apartment, his television was probably not the whole wall, but it was just really big, bigger than anyone has seen, however, Ted probably saw it as a whole wall television. The life-size stormtrooper could actually be real. It is just the characters that are romanticized to how Ted Mosby sees things. Since everything is told from his perspective, then all the characters and everything that happens is not from the audience's perspective, but from Ted Mosby's, and I think that is why some people do not find it relatable.
