Alcohol causes cancer. Too few of us who regularly drink understand that. The minimum requirement should be a warning on products. That the industry objects shows how it’s in their commercial interests to play this information down and keep customers in the dark www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Alcohol should have labels warning drinkers of cancer risks, charities say
Health organisations have written to Keir Starmer urging him to force drinks producers to include warnings

'Brand advertising' 'Alibi marketing' 'Surrogate marketing' 'Brand sharing' - whatever you call it, this is a way for adverts to create brand awareness even if no harmful products are shown. Check out this @oha-updates.bsky.social blog looking at the implications for future policy development:

Minister Gwynne said ‘Prevention is better than cure. If we can reach people earlier and help them stay healthy, this extra investment will pay for itself several times over in reduced demand on the NHS and by keeping people in work. ‘ 👏

Food related taxes ‘a win–win situation for both state budgets and for effective improvement of public health, and consequently also for reducing health care and societal costs’ But - any £ raised shld increase access and affordability of healthier food for those on lower incomes

Such a brilliant ep. - in a world of distorted science & ambiguity - this chat on a complex topic leaves no room for doubt on the direction of travel for tobacco & vapes. My take: air our ambitions publicly - people are often as ambitious as us on #publichealth and there, MPs will follow…
