Mar editorial: “the end of the tobacco epidemic will be brought about by leadership & action by both civil society & governments, not the tobacco industry touting a narrow focus on its expanding product range hyped as solutions to the problems it causes” tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/33/2/1…

@Mark_Butler_MP deserves credit for his efforts to address vaping, given latest AIHW data showing exponential increase in usage unrelated to smoking cessation. A social media campaign is great, but the govt needs to persist... via @CroakeyNews croakey.org/greater-effort…


One of many superb articles in the January issue

Research from Australia finds that messages highlighting climate, pollution & social justice harms of tobacco are perceived as motivating for smoking cessation among people who smoke, especially younger people & those with a tertiary education. bit.ly/4b7X4ua @SarDurks

Public health speech for the ages. A complete legal free market for tobacco results in extremes of harm. The repeal of NZ’s legislation will generate short term $ paid for in lives lost

If you watch one thing from the Smokefree Legislation debate today, watch Chlöe Swarbrick's contribution. How anyone with a conscience can vote in favour of repeal after hearing this speech is beyond my comprehension. stuff.co.nz/politics/35019…

Smoking is the biggest cause of cancer & death in the UK. Raising the age of sale of tobacco would be a critical step on the road to a creating a #SmokefreeGeneration. The public support this measure & the Bill should be introduced by @10DowningStreet without further delay.…

Question for PMQs today: @RishiSunak When will the Tobacco and Vapes Bill be put to parliament? A new poll shows 71% of the public support the PM’s goal of stamping out smoking [1] — as do leading health organisations.[2] #SmokefreeGeneration

In the face of overwhelming evidence of the harms caused by smoking to the population as a whole and to #Māori in particular, the recent decision by the government in #Aotearoa to repeal new anti-smoking legislations is reprehensible, writes Amohia Boulton bmj.com/content/383/bm…

Excellent detailed account about the smokefree legislation in New Zealand, the tawdry story of the decision to repeal it, & the harm to Maori that decision will cause.

Thomas Mayo was the calm champion of the effort in Australia to give Indigenous people a voice in Parliament. After its failure, will he turn up the volume? nyti.ms/47HUs3Q
