We have published research in @PLOS exploring cigarette affordability in Malaysia between 2009-2019 which finds that cigarettes in the country became more affordable over most of the study years, emphasising the need for stronger tobacco tax policy.

In a piece for the @ConversationUK, @AllenGallagher_ and @philchamberlain argue that in order for the proposed #smokingban to have the most impact, the policy must be protected from being undermined by the false narratives spread by the #tobaccoindustry.

New paper in @GHJournal with @Praveen_Policy and @acarriedo: We know a lot about #tobaccoindustry interference but much less about what advocates do to counter it. Our scoping review brings together the existing peer-reviewed literature. Read more⬇️

Analysis of 15K leaked industry docs by @benoitgomis @AllenGallagher_ @andy_rowell suggests that BAT saw the ITP as a significant threat & worked during the negotiations to influence its content & was broadly satisfied with much of the final text. @TC_BMJ https://t.co/ZGnRL7fHkk

[Tobacco Control Research Group @BathTR]

Illicit #tobacco trade undermines tobacco control measures, such as #taxation, and must be kept to a minimum to ensure life-saving public #health policies achieve their intended goal, write @BathTR's @AllenGallagher_ @dr_lindsaybells & @otago colleagues. https://t.co/IoQeWzIAKe

[Tobacco Control Research Group @BathTR]

The Foundation for a #Smoke-Free World is the latest #research organisation to push #science paid for by the #tobacco industry & to obfuscate the link, write @tess_legg & Prof Anna Gilmore of @BathTR @UniofBath & @miclegend310 of @StopCorpAbuse in @TC_BMJ.

With less than a month to go before the #transition period ends, new research by @UniofBath @BathSofM's @JRBranston, @BathTR's @AllenGallagher_ & Deborah Arnott @ASH_LDN takes a timely look at the potential implications of #Brexit for #UK #tobacco control. https://t.co/ThrN6LV2DB

[Rob Branston @JRBranston]

My new research in @ijdrugpolicy with @ASH_LDN/@AllenGallagher_ on #Brexit & UK #tobacco control. Current rules will cont but with freedom to make changes in #GB (but not #NI) so gov should do more. #nodeal tariffs add £1.77 to a RYO pouch. full paper: https://t.co/FzTfIwagsP

‘Over two-thirds of #illicit #tobacco is genuine product coming from transnational tobacco companies, so they’re continuing to be the key driver of this problem. This is why Track & Trace is so important,’ says @BathTR’s @AllenGallagher_ in @dailymaverick.

[exposetobacco @exposetobacco]

This tallies with independent studies. Analysis by STOP research partner @BathTR concluded that industry-funded data on illicit #tobacco can’t be trusted and ‘serves as a platform for the industry’s lobbying and public relations strategies.’
