Have you noticed more celebrities smoking lately?

Dr Carmen Lim, Dr Joshua Trigg, and I explored how "cigfluencers" are making smoking cool again and its impact on public health in an Ad Watch for Tobacco Control.

Australian data reveal diff pathways into vaping, from quitting smoking to curiosity-driven use, with higher psychological distress and substance use in some groups. Evidence like this is critical for developing more targeted and effective vaping policies.

Understanding substance use in CALD populations is essential for equitable prevention and harm reduction in Australia. What does the evidence say and what are we missing?

Well done Yan Yee for getting this important work out in @ijdrugpolicy.bsky.social

ABC asked me to comment on a growing number of clinics using cryptic language and abstract cannabis imagery to bypass advertising laws and it’s getting bolder. Regulators can’t keep pace, and many ads are now clearly illegal. We need real accountability to protect consumers.
