Had a chat with a colleague yesterday about how we will manage the overwhelming amount of covid research when conducyreview articles in the future. So a review article on, let’s say, public health campaign messaging, could quickly become about covid messgaing due to the huge number of recent publications. 🧐

Tobacco Control

okay more new user tips

content warnings are extremely important here

they're ingrained in our culture

they're not censorship, but rather consent

they allow someone to decide if they wanna engage with your post, and if so on what terms

they're a courtesy, and you have legiterally no reason to not use them as much as possible

they're one of the best features mastodon has

think of it like a subject line or a title for your post

you're MORE LIKELY to get "engagement" if you use them right

📚New paper out today! We looked at 11 different social media platform policies on #tobacco promotion and found some concerning gaps. Especially around sponsored/influencer content and age gating. Open access in Tobacco Control! #academic #AcademicToots #publichealth https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/early/2022/11/03/tc-2022-057348
Tobacco promotion restriction policies on social media

Tobacco promotion is prolific on social media, with each platform setting their own restrictions on tobacco promotion and sales. We evaluated the policies related to tobacco product promotion and sales on 11 sites that are popular with youth in May 2021: Discord, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, Tumblr, Twitch, Twitter and YouTube. Nine of the 11 sites prohibited paid advertising for tobacco products. However, only three of them clearly prohibited sponsored content (ie, social influencers) that promotes tobacco. Six platforms restricted content that sells tobacco products and three tried to prohibit underage access to content that promotes or sells tobacco products. Although most platform policies prohibited paid tobacco advertising, few addressed more novel strategies, such as sponsored/influencer content and few had age-gating to prevent youth access. There is a pressing need to regulate tobacco promotion on social media platforms.
