I was delighted to co-chair a session on tobacco control at the #UnionConf2024 in Bali last week. My co-chair was Gea Melinda—a bright young tobacco control leader from Indonesia. We need more dedicated young leaders to help realize a #tobaccoendgame in the future.

Beyond the pale: Ottawa is now profiting from the youth vaping disaster it created by giving tobacco and vaping companies a licence to get Canadian kids hooked on nicotine: prn.to/3ClOlI4 Canadian kids deserve 1st class protection from nicotine vaping products.

New MPOWER profile: Europe is the only WHO region with a higher "Monitor" score between 2020 and 2023. All other regions received lower scores for tobacco use monitoring in 2023. These results may be due to reporting challenges during the COVID19 pandemic. tinyurl.com/ya2bawed

I missed this story from a few years back but it's still relevant. Here’s a pull quote: “Cigarettes are just always there, and you’ve always done it. I just pick them up and light them up without thinking about it.” Keith finally quit. 🙂 #nevertoolate independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
