Did it feel like sports betting ads dominated the Super Bowl this year? Well... our data show that ad levels are *even higher* on any given Sunday. That could be a major public health problem. (w/ @jencornacc.bsky.social rnacc.bsky.social & Chris Louis). link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This is a key step toward the broader vision outlined by FDA: leveraging the tools of product regulation to shift the market away from combustible cigarettes and—for adults who still want to use nicotine—enable access to properly regulated, non-combustible alternatives such as pouches and e-cigs

So infuriating. Tobacco industry meets directly with administration (something most countries prohibit), and administration further delays rule it had promised (in court!) to finalize months ago. Just incredible that this is still happening in 2023. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2023/...
