[Cancer Research UK Policy @CRUK_Policy]

1/🚭 CRUK-funded research from @StirUni is out! It explores the factors that affect the accessibility of vapes, like packaging, displays, flavours & retail environment. The Tobacco & Vapes Bill, if implemented, would enable the UK Govt to take action in these areas.

🧵Reflecting on @imperialchepi event on UPFs:

Key themes: health risks, policy options, implementation hurdles.

Big Q: Do we have enough evidence to act? Many think so, but I’m more cautious.
What’s the tipping point for robust policies?

A great overview of very impressive work by the UCL team throughout this year on tobacco and e-cigarettes ⬇️

Timely and impactful in the year of the Tobacco & Vapes Bill 🙌

[Sarah Jackson @DrSarahEJackson]

As we approach the end of 2024, I thought I'd compile some of our key findings from the Smoking Toolkit Study this year.

We've looked at *lots* of interesting things relating to smoking and vaping.

NHS England announce launch of generic varenicline 3 years after Pfizer’s Champix recall 🥳

Excellent news! Large clinical trials consistently find it to be one of the most effective smoking cessation treatments.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Join the upcoming exciting primary prevention webinar focused on translational future opportunities. It has a stellar panel which would be chaired by David Crosby (CRUK's Head of Prevention & Early Detection Research). Not one to be missed!

I've really been looking forward to the launch of this Blueprint:
❓Which obesity policies have the best evidence?
❓Which ones are most cost effective?
❓Which ones would have the most impact?

Timely, balanced and user-friendly, you'll want to bookmark this!

[Nesta @nesta_uk]

New analysis: it is possible and affordable to halve obesity by the end of the decade, if governments implement the most effective high impact, low cost solutions.

Today we launch Nesta's blueprint for halving obesity: https://t.co/ls4JsslsD0 @camillahmturner @Telegraph

@GilesYeo @LBC Great points made re prevention and treatment together and still needing to make tough decisions on food environment policies! 🙌

New paper alert!
UK toddlers consume 47% of their calories from UPFs and the more UPF toddlers eat the higher their intake of sodium and free sugar.

How can we improve stop smoking services❓

[Kimberley Neve, RNutr @KLNeve]

What a refreshing headline!
'The right calls it the 'nanny state' - I call it standing up to rich corporations and protecting people's health'.

Also - since when did a nanny not just want what's best for those she cares about?

[Liv Cheek @Olivia_Cheek]

As smoking is one of the leading drivers of health inequalities, seeing how stop smoking services could be adapted to improve uptake in low socioeconomic groups is important if we’re going to reach #SmokefreeForAll.

Proud to have contributed to the study 👇 looking at just that.

Some good news from last week as we heard that the UK Government will press ahead with Oct 2025 implementation of TV & online advertising restrictions on foods high in fat, salt and sugar.

We've been campaigning to #EndJunkFoodAds since 2016, and many of our supporters have taken action to help make this happen.
