Podcast:Philip Teresi Published On: Sat Aug 29 2026 Description: The Fresno City Council voted 6-1 to create a new Tobacco Retailer Licensing Program, requiring businesses that sell tobacco products to obtain a city license and undergo compliance inspections. City leaders say the goal is to crack down on illegal tobacco and vape sales, particularly products that target youth. A new study led by researchers at Brown University found that older adults who received the Shingrix shingles vaccine had a 24% lower relative risk of being diagnosed with dementia over the following four years compared with similar adults who were not vaccinated.
