1. ‘Poison in Every Puff’ Among Warnings to Be Printed on Canadian Cigarettes

 

“Poison in every puff.” “Cigarettes cause impotence.” “Tobacco smoke harms children.” Those are the warnings that smokers in Canada will soon find on every single cigarette they light, as the country sets into motion a plan requiring tobacco companies to print health warnings directly onto cigarette filters. The labels will appear in English and French, Canada’s official languages, and are intended to blunt the allure of smoking among young people, adults looking to quit and those addicted to nicotine, the government said Wednesday. Smoking is on the decline in Canada, and the country’s health services aim to reduce it even further.

 

[Expression]

▶impotence : 무력함, 발기부전
▶impotent : 무력한 (=powerless), 발기불능의

2.  Job Openings Rose in April, Defying Cooling Trend

 

After three consecutive months of declines, job openings jumped in April, reaching 10.1 million, the Labor Department reported Wednesday in its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. The rate of layoffs decreased. At the same time, the report showed a decline in the rate of workers voluntarily leaving their jobs, suggesting lower confidence in finding employment, and hiring remains at its lowest rate since December 2020. The jump in openings may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to take interest rates even higher. The May employment report, to be released by the Labor Department on Friday, will offer additional data before Fed policymakers meet June 13-14.

 

[Expression]

▶jump : 뛰어 오르다.

▶the rate of layoffs : 정리해고 비율

▶voluntarily leaving their jobs : 자발적 퇴사

3. Amazon to Pay $25 Million to Settle Children’s Privacy Charges

 

Amazon agreed Wednesday to pay a civil penalty of $25 million to settle federal charges that it kept sensitive information collected from children for years, including their precise locations and voice recordings, in violation of a children’s online privacy law. It was the latest legal action in an intensifying regulatory effort to require some of the world’s largest tech platforms to better safeguard their younger users. The case was brought by the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department, which contended that the tech giant had kept voice recordings of young people who used its Alexa virtual assistant service indefinitely.
