In Mexico, Smoking On The Beach Could Now Cost You $500
Smokers in Mexico will find fewer places to light up under strict new anti-tobacco measures the country rolled out this month. Changes to a tobacco control law went into effect January 15, expanding on existing rules to prohibit smoking in public places. The measures now include no-smoking laws for any workplace and outdoor locations where people gather, such as public squares, parks, beaches and sports stadiums. In those locations, people are prohibited from consuming any tobacco or nicotine product, according to an announcement from the Mexican government. According to Diana Cedillo, deputy director of National Office of Tobacco Control, smoking in prohibited areas could draw fines of up to $550.

Duolingo Language Learning App
Launched in 2012, the gamified language app has transformed from a PhD project into a 500-person public company now on a mission to make profits. The app, which views sites like TikTok and Netflix as its competition, now boasts ~15M daily users, up 51% YoY, and 3.7M paid subscribers. Barring any unexpected fiscal blowback over its highly controversial redesign, revenue this year is projected to surpass $365M, up 45% YoY. The company is now expanding through in-app purchases, subjects like reading and math, and a $49 online English test accepted at 4K+ institutions that made ~$25M last year.

The Data Examiner – (Notable) Remarks:
** A week of reporting from Israel and the West Bank has left me feeling that the prospect for a two-state solution has all but vanished. But no one wants to formally declare it dead and buried – because categorically ruling it out would have enormous ramifications. So, diplomats, politicians and liberal Jewish organizations pretend that it still has a faint heartbeat. I do as well. But we all know that the two-state option is not in hospital. It’s in hospice. Only a miracle cure could save it now. Alas, though, just because the two-state concept is vanishing doesn’t mean the one-state solution – with Israel alone controlling the West Bank, Jerusalem and pre-1967 Israel forever – automatically becomes the easy default. Not at all. —- Thomas L. Friedman
** The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters. —- Elon Musk
** Where there is no work, there is no dignity. —- Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis)

How Social Media Has Power:
There is plenty of research showing social media’s growing impact on people, communication, and society. For instance, Pew Research Center reports most U.S. adults use YouTube, with Facebook cited as the second-most network – with TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat highly-used for adults under the age of 30. Globally, Smart Insights shows over 57% use at least one form of social media – with many using it for news.
