Have you noticed more celebrities smoking lately?

Dr Carmen Lim, Dr Joshua Trigg, and I explored how "cigfluencers" are making smoking cool again and its impact on public health in an Ad Watch for Tobacco Control.

A total vibe. I love anything with well fleshed out characters.
New research shows that "smoking kills more than 24,000 Australians every year, or 66 people per day, which is significantly more than previous estimates..." bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
If you're buying cigarettes in Australia, you'll now encounter regular stick health warnings. #tobaccocontrol #publichealth

Day 3 of #SRNT2025, and the schedule is chock full of science goodness. Looking forward to the latest in nicotine use and addiction research. Loads on #vaping today (related, need good coffee place recommendations for New Orleans).
River front runs FTW. Jazz band and doggos not pictured.

Though this doesn't bode well, "A subsidiary of Reynolds donated $10 million to a super PAC backing Trump."
