Movies Anywhere Follows Netflix’s Lead In Sharing Crackdown
In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses made huge changes–some to survive, some to earn consumer goodwill. Streaming services went in big on features that would let people watch movies and TV shows together. Now, as Netflix prepares for a big crackdown on password sharing, Movies Anywhere is pulling back on is sharing options as well, the company announced.
If you’re someone who still buys their movies on disc, you probably know what Movies Anywhere is. The codes for digital movies that come packed in with each of those discs are generally for Movies Anywhere–a way for studios to keep physical movie releases relevant in an increasingly online world. One of the coolest features of Movies Anywhere has been Screen Pass, which lets a Movies Anywhere user share up to three movie passes per month without having to share login info. That feature, however, is going away.
“As the experience continues to evolve, we want to notify you that effective May 1 users will no longer be able to use the Screen Pass feature to send a Screen Pass,” the announcement says. “For Screen Passes sent prior to May 1, recipients will still be able to accept and finish watching the movie before their passes expire. As of June 1, the Screen Pass feature will no longer be supported.”

Urgent vape warning as cops crackdown on underage users – here’s how to keep your kids safe
PARENTS have been given an urgent warning about vapes and cops crack down on underage users.
Police in Callington, Cornwall, have forcefully reminded locals that you have to be 18 to buy any nicotine product, including vapes, and that buying them for children is illegal.

The force is asking residents of the town to make sure that they are aware of the rules around the devices, amid reports that youngsters are getting their hands on them,
PC Jess Floyd said: “Whilst vaping products can appear attractive to young people with the array of colours and flavours, they still contain harmful and addictive substances and we encourage parents and guardians to have a frank and open conversation with any young people at home.
“There is a wealth of information online to help with this.”
PC Floyd added: “We have and will continue to confiscate any cigarettes and vapes from anyone under 18.
“This is then followed up with contact to parents/guardians. I would like to remind people that this is not an isolated issue just to Callington.”
It comes after popular brand ELFBAR were forced to recall some of their vapes from supermarkets after they were found to contain 50% more than the legal limit of nicotine.
The e-cigarettes are now under investigation by Trading Standards UK.
Retailers Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco have removed the watermelon ELFBAR 600 from its shelves
ELFBAR apologised and said the error was due to some of their products being fitted with larger tanks meant for other markets internationally.
One vape user, who got hooked on them when he was 11, recently revealed the impact they had on his health.
Sydney Prew said that he loved the e-cigarettes as they tasted like sweets, but has been left with a smoker’s cough and depression.
Meanwhile, a recent study found that vaping could put healthy young people at a higher risk of developing a severe disease.
Data from Action on Smoking (ASH) previously revealed that the number of kids vaping has increased.
The number of children that admitted to trying the products has risen from 14% in 2020 to 16% in 2022.
It also revealed that the proportion of children vaping is rising, up from 4% in 2020 to seven per cent in 2022.
The products are increasingly marketed at kids, with it previously having been reported that manufacturers were using enticing colours and packaging to lure in a younger audience.

Calls to double the price of e-cigarettes to crackdown on dangerous vaping
DOUBLE the price of vapes and sell them in plain packs like cigarettes to deter kids, say campaigners.
Anti-smoking crusaders want an extra £4 tax on disposable e-cigarettes like Elf Bars, which are sold for less than a fiver.

The vapes are popular with children thanks to their bright colours and fruity flavours, said Action on Smoking and Health.
Deborah Arnott, chief executive of ASH, said action is “urgently needed” to crack down on youth use.
It comes as Tesco, Morisons and Sainsbury’s have removed the Elf Bar 600 series from shelves after it was found to contain illegal levels of nicotine.
Ms Arnott said: “Smoking is much more harmful than vaping and smoking remains the biggest threat to our children’s health.
“But vaping is not risk-free, and in the light of the recent increase in children vaping, government action is urgently needed to tighten regulation and increase enforcement.”
She added: “Children who vape mainly use cheap disposables, which can be bought for under a fiver.
“They could easily be made less affordable in the March Budget with the introduction of a specific tax for single use disposable vapes.
“In one simple step this would reduce both child vaping and the vast quantities of single use vapes being thrown into landfill.”
Around 3.2million people in the UK use e-cigarettes.
Around half of adults aged 18 to 24 that vape using disposable devices last year, up from only 2.8 per cent in 2021, according to ASH.
Research suggests e-cigarettes are significantly less dangerous to people’s health than regular cigarettes, reducing the risks of illnesses like cancer and heart disease.
However, data on how long-term use impacts the body is sparse.
ASH’s call comes as councils also put pressure on No10 to crackdown on vape use in teens.
The Local Government Association said e-cigarettes should be kept “out-of-sight and out-of-reach” in stores.
It said vapes should only be sold in plain packaging and kept behind the counter in shops.
