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.

📊 NEW HEALTH AND CLIMATE RESEARCH First comprehensive study on health and climate change in small island developing states shows lack of climate action is endangering lives and livelihoods - despite island states spearheading international attention on the topic www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Graphic reads: People living in small island developing states are increasingly facing the threat of displacement due to rising sea levels. More than a million people across SIDS are living in coastal areas that lie less than 1m above current sea level. Graphic reads: Rising temperatures are threatening food security in Small Island Developing States. Compared with the period 1981-2010, an additional 2.6m people reported moderate or severe food insecurity as a consequence of drought and heatwave days in 2022. Graphic reads: Small islands continue to spearhead international policy engagement on the links between health and climate change. At the UN General Assembly in 2022, 64% of all climate and health statements cam from leaders of Small Island Developing States.
