Good comments about blatant tobacco industry lobbying.

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.

Dropping #TobaccoTax will not reduce #IllicitTrade. Empowering States and Territories to swiftly shut down retailers engaging in illicit tobacco trade is likely to be far more effective. @coralgartner.bsky.social @chenealpuljevic.bsky.social

Queensland landlords could soon face jail for ignoring illegal tobacco. What are other states doing?
South Australian landlords who turn a blind eye on illegal tobacco can now be fined, while Queensland is proposing bigger fines and even a year in jail.

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.

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.
