People have been smoking for at least 7,000 years, but it wasn’t until the 1800s that cigarettes became the smoke of choice, after machines were developed to mass produce them. 200 years later, in 2003, the electronic cigarette was invented in China. Since then, the use of e-cigarettes, also known as vaping, has grown exponentially around the world.

During the State of the Union on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump paid tribute to the late right-wing political advocate Charlie Kirk, who was publicly killed last year … saying there should be no political violence of any kind as Charlie’s wife, Erika Kirk, is seen getting emotional in the audience.
While Trump was honoring those whose stories have impacted our country recently, he took a moment to honor Charlie as the broadcast panned to Erika in the audience — tears filling her eyes as our president describes the fatal last moments Charlie lived.
As we previously reported … the conservative commentator died after being shot in the neck on a college campus in September 2025. Donald Trump was the one who announced his death on social media, shortly after Charlie was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Kirk had died after sustaining injuries from a shooting at the Utah Valley University campus in Orem, UT during a Q&A with students where hundreds of people, including some protesters, had gathered.
Kirk was a devoted ally of President Donald Trump … promoting election fraud misinformation after the 2020 election. He also appeared before a House Committee on the January 6 riots because Turning Point sent several buses to the rally. He pled the Fifth to questions posed by the committee, though his team said they did hand over thousands of documents to the committee.
Charlie is survived by his two young children along with Erika — who has since taken over as CEO of Charlie’s non-profit organization ‘Turning Point USA.’

“American Idol” finalist Dimitrius Graham was arrested in Los Angeles Sunday and booked on a trespassing charge … TMZ has learned.
The head-turning incident was caught on video … and shows Graham being cuffed by officers on an LA Metro train as you hear him yelling out about what is happening to him. The singer — who also appeared on “The Voice” — says he was unable to show his train ticket because his phone died … but was barred from exiting the train to get a physical ticket and instead taken away to the clink.
He reposted the video on his own social media page, and also hopped online to share an update after claiming to be locked up behind bars for 24 hours.
In his video, Graham claimed he lost a veneer and suffered a fractured wrist from the incident … calling the whole ordeal “crazy” — especially over a $1.75 fare he claims he paid.

Graham says he thinks he was “racially profiled,” but doesn’t blame police … theorizing they “wouldn’t be so mad” and ready to attack him if they were paid better or given more vacation days. All in all, the musician says his heart is warmed that people are able to see his story … and reminds followers they have rights, and should know them.
The LAPD tells TMZ … Graham was allegedly acting erratic when officers approached him and then refused to leave the Metro when asked. They add Graham only offered to buy the ticket once he was detained.
As for his alleged injuries … we’re told a use of force report was taken because Graham was complaining of pain … but a supervisor found no wrongdoing. There was also a complaint taken after Graham alleged biased policing, LAPD says.
Graham competed on “American Idol” Season 17 in 2019, when he made it to the Top 10. He also appeared on Season 27 of “The Voice” in 2025 on Michael BublĂŠ‘s team, where he competed for a handful of weeks before being cut after a battle round.
We’ve reached out to Graham for further comment … so far, no word back.

T.I.
T.I. is dragging his beef with 50 Cent straight into the studio — and TMZâs got the first listen to the diss track.
Hit play on this … because T.I. ain’t playing nice, calling 50 a “5-0 dispatcher” — basically branding him a snitch — and clowns him as a keyboard warrior whoâs tough online but nowhere else.
Then it really gets spicy. T.I. raps heâs got “he has paperwork from n**** in prison ya name is in em” … a bombshell claim that goes straight at 50âs gangster brand. Thatâs not light shade … thatâs nuclear!
In case you forgot how we got here — this all started when T.I. accused 50 of “ducking” a Verzuz battle theyâd talked about doing. Instead of locking it in, 50 went the trolling route on social media, firing off jokes and memes, but never actually stepping into the ring.
And with this track, T.I. just turned the volume all the way up. Now we wait for 50 — because if thereâs one thing he doesnât do, itâs stay quiet.
