Aust 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.

The latest announcement doesn't tighten existing prescribing or marketing rules for medicinal cannabis. It just reminds health professionals what the rules are. @Cwernlim @UQ_News https://t.co/NP7YHInNgI

🚨 New Study Alert 🚨

📳If you're seeing these content on a near-daily basis, it increases your vulnerability to tobacco use

Our new commentary in @NTR_Journal highlights the multichannel marketing of oral nicotine pouches. While less harmful than cigarettes, addiction risks for youth remain. @TattanBirch
