So, so, so, so pleased about this! Honestly, sometimes it can feel like you’re howling into the void when you repeatedly say smoking kills regardless of what else people have got going on. The more we recognise this, the greater chance we have of saving lives. 🙏@SSA_Addiction.
Congratulations to @Sharon_ACox, who has been named the winner of this year’s Impact Prize for her work to address health inequalities in smoking cessation interventions

As smoking rates come down it’s important to look at where the people who smoke the heaviest (ns 🚬) are. Prevalence tells us the % of people smoking, 🚬 smoked tells us something else, both are needed to target finite resources… so this is what we looked at - led by Sarah 👇🏼.
Our new paper provides up-to-date evidence on cigarette consumption across Great Britain. 🟡~28.6 billion cigarettes are smoked each year. 🟡There are persistent disparities across socioeconomic groups, regions, and nations.

Important study, and raises the point that at the very least when people who use heroin and other drugs say they want to quit, we should not talk them out of it. Better still, provide support. Thanks to @danlewer for leading.
📷.We did some life table modelling among people who use heroin. Tobacco smoking causes as many premature deaths in this group as illegal drugs. Yet public health policies overlook smoking: New research with @Sharon_ACox and @TattanBirch

@jkelovuori You had me at @SwitchFinder and @Sharon_ACox. These are no ordinary myth busters. Rather, they are among the most well respected experts in tobacco harm reduction research. How could I not know about this? No idea, but lol it's your fault. Thanks, JK!.
