Aiming to recoup costs, it began emptying its vast underground reservoir of the gas in the 1990s and has now put the whole federal helium system up for sale. Early next year, the government plans to unveil bids from potential buyers of the Amarillo, Texas, facility, which includes a distribution pipeline and the porous rock formation containing the remaining stores of helium—a substance used in everything from MRI machines to quantum computers to party balloons.

The impact of tax increases on tobacco use among medical faculty students
Conclusions: Only half of the smokers were affected by tax increases, and only one-fifth of those quit smoking. Some of the users had switched to rolled tobacco and smuggled products. Those with high economic status are less affected by taxes than those with poor economic status. Tax increase changes attitude but are not enough for effective tobacco control unless reinforced by other prevention and control strategies. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)
