Cancer prevention must be made more inclusive esp for low income & disadvantaged where smoking related cancers hugely over represented. Best way do that is make easier for smokers to switch to tobacco harm reduction eg vaping @gerrystimson.bsky.social @chancethegardener.bsky.social

💯% right! Australia just after performative changes at this stage. Want ⬇️violence? Then ⬇️cigarette taxes! Want smokers shift from illegal ➡️legal cigs? Then ⬇️cig tax
Nope. Illicit sellers won't bother getting licenses. They'll adapt to whatever regulatory changes the govt makes - most likely by staffing stores with expendable mules and limited stock, and simply re-open for business once inspectors have moved on.

Importance of this study strengthened by fact that countries where safer nicotine products other than vaping became popular smoking rates also plummeted eg snus in Sweden. Cig sales fell >50% in 7 years in Japan after heated tobacco products were introduced @jgitchell.bsky.social
