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. 🔗: tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/earl... @ncysur.bsky.social

A group of five young female celebrities pose closely together at a crowded party. They hold a bouquet made of dark purple calla lilies, blue flowers, and cigarette packs, with cigarettes also inserted into the bouquet. Two of the celebrities have unlit cigarettes in their mouths.

Australian data reveal diff pathways into vaping, from quitting smoking to curiosity-driven use, with higher psychological distress and substance use in some groups. Evidence like this is critical for developing more targeted and effective vaping policies. 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

ABC asked me to comment on a growing number of clinics using cryptic language and abstract cannabis imagery to bypass advertising laws and it’s getting bolder. Regulators can’t keep pace, and many ads are now clearly illegal. We need real accountability to protect consumers. tinyurl.com/wfx94u76
