Research from Australia finds that messages highlighting climate, pollution & social justice harms of tobacco are perceived as motivating for smoking cessation among people who smoke, especially younger people & those with a tertiary education. https://t.co/jA90GmHnZA

Public health speech for the ages. A complete legal free market for tobacco results in extremes of harm. The repeal of NZ’s legislation will generate short term $ paid for in lives lost
If you watch one thing from the Smokefree Legislation debate today, watch Chlöe Swarbrick's contribution. How anyone with a conscience can vote in favour of repeal after hearing this speech is beyond my comprehension.

Smoking is the biggest cause of cancer & death in the UK. Raising the age of sale of tobacco would be a critical step on the road to a creating a #SmokefreeGeneration. The public support this measure & the Bill should be introduced by @10DowningStreet without further delay.
Question for PMQs today: @RishiSunak When will the Tobacco and Vapes Bill be put to parliament? A new poll shows 71% of the public support the PM’s goal of stamping out smoking [1] — as do leading health organisations.[2] #SmokefreeGeneration

Excellent detailed account about the smokefree legislation in New Zealand, the tawdry story of the decision to repeal it, & the harm to Maori that decision will cause.

Thomas Mayo was the calm champion of the effort in Australia to give Indigenous people a voice in Parliament. After its failure, will he turn up the volume?
