Good comments about blatant tobacco industry lobbying.
ashorguk.bsky.social
We are appalled that public service broadcaster the BBC continues to provide a platform for tobacco industry giant, British American Tobacco, to lobby against the Tobacco & Vapes Bill.
So we fixed the headline for them...

Good commentary. As so often with tobacco over the years, we know what needs to be done. The sooner all our state and territory governments act, the better.

Good to see this focus on predatory journals. One further tip to help spot them. Check to see how many dogs are on their editorial boards or have authored articles.

Comments on public health issues from former England CMO Dame Sally Davies - well worth reading, not least concluding questions about “the companies driving poor public health”.

Excellent article. As ever, we need a comprehensive approach - and continuing exposure of direct and indirect lobbying by tobacco companies and their allies.

🚭 Leadership is needed to tackle illicit tobacco in Australia.

A new commentary argues:
- Tobacco market is over-supplied & under-regulated
- Cutting excise isn’t the answer
- Stronger licensing & caps on retailers needed

Hundreds of millions of tobacco deaths since Doll and Hill (BMJ) and Wynder and Graham in 1950. Time for a global consensus to phase out this lethal industry.

Tuesday marks 75 years since the historic September 30, 1950 Doll & Hill BMJ paper confirming smoking as a cause of lung cancer. For 75 years tobacco companies have been selling and promoting products they know are lethal when used as intended.

Tobacco giant JTI is plastering Westminster with ads about illicit trade, in a clear attempt to influence parliamentarians due to debate the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

🚭But the best way to cut illegal tobacco is to cut smoking. That’s what JTI is really worried about.

It should be blindingly obvious that alcohol marketing (like gambling and tobacco) aims to increase sales and target young people, but it seems we keep needing to show it again, and again and again. And again.

"Contrary to some claims that marketing is about market share rather than increasing consumption, the evidence base, comprising 26 studies, suggests that there is a relationship between marketing and consumption"

Leaving aside optics of attending at any time an event hosted by industry that does so much to create misery, transferring billions from the poor and desperate to billionaires, Rachel Reeves’ decision to do so ahead of a budget seriously questions her judgment

Gobsmacking when this advice had such huge influence "Neither the Associate Minister nor the Minister's office staff had been able to confirm who had written tobacco policy notes that were held in the Minister's office in paper form and used for ministerial purposes,"
www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Casey Costello breached rules by giving tobacco industry-friendly document to health officials
But the inquiry has still not revealed who wrote the 'mystery document', which claimed nicotine was no more harmful than caffeine.
