Counselling can increase quit rates, but ecigs also help smokers with no intention to quit (accidental quitters) as it's just better way to get nicotine. #endvapeban @PMOIndia @mansukhmandviya @thephfi @icmrdelhi @imaindiaorg @mohfw_India health.harvard.edu/staying-health…

Sweden’s smoking prevalence is down to 5.6%. New Zealand’s smoking prevalence at 22/23 was 6.8%. This is a huge public health achievement. Could NZ catch up to Sweden?

Important blog from THRSP Scholar @amodibecky "There are no current thematic strategies that seek to help women & girls who #smoke. I believe listening to voices of women & girls who smoke is the first step to solving this #publichealth crisis." Blog👇 thethr.blog/the-unheard-vo…

In my country Uganda, women and girls who smoke are considered outcasts, this means that they will face more difficulty in accessing information, accessing safer nicotine alternatives and will be more likely to consume illicit tobacco products. thethr.blog/the-unheard-vo…
