‘I jumped at it’: Australia’s new CDC chief on trust, misinformation and never being surprised by a health threat

Zoe Wainer’s parents started the country’s first public abortion clinic. Now she is making history too, as the inaugural head of the Australian Centre for Disease Control

The Guardian

'Whether the UK will achieve a “smokefree generation” is not guaranteed. The legislation will need to be backed by effective enforcement, sustained investment in local public health services and continued support for smoking cessation once it becomes law.'

'Even so, it represents a significant step forward. The policy is grounded in prevention, supported by public opinion and informed by decades of tobacco control research and practice. If enforcement and cessation support keep pace with legislative ambition, the UK has reason to be cautiously optimistic that this could mark the beginning of a long-term endgame for tobacco.' #smoking #vaping #tobacco #health #healthcare #healthlaw #UKpol #UKlaw

‘Landmark’ bill preventing future generations from buying tobacco a step closer to becoming law

People born before 1 January 2009 will never be able to buy tobacco under legislation that has passed the House of Lords.

Doctors.net.uk

Delighted to see the Tobacco and Vapes Bill 2024-2026 (UK) pass through the House of Lords - overcoming much Big Tobacco interference, obstruction and contestation. Baroness Gillian Merron for Labor commented on this landmark bill: 'Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death, disability and ill health and tobacco claims around 80,000 lives every year. While tobacco remains the greatest threat, this legislation is about protecting future generations from the harms of not only tobacco but nicotine addiction.'

Here is my submission on the bill - https://eprints.qut.edu.au/260960/
