Teens face higher death risk with more teen passengers
A Johns Hopkins led study using 1990s fatal crash data finds 16 and 17 year old drivers bear rising fatality rates as passenger numbers grow.

Supreme Court blocks FDA bid to regulate tobacco as drug
The 5-4 ruling says Congress did not authorize FDA to regulate tobacco as a drug, undermining Clinton era rules to curb youth cigarette sales. Justice O’Connor notes tobacco poses a major public health threat, but Congress precludes FDA jurisdiction over tobacco products. The decision halts ID checks, vending limits, and ads rules while states already ban sales to those under 18. Philip Morris welcomed the ruling, while cancer groups lamented the setback.
