Our #Tobacco21 project was years in the making and I'm thrilled to finally see it out! Big Thank you to our partners at @tobacco21 and co-authors @jihjeon0 @AFriedmanPhD @YaleHPM @CenterTobacco @umichsph and #CISNET / @NCICancerCtrl

[JAMA Health Forum @JAMAHealthForum]

Tobacco 21 policies, which raise the legal age for tobacco access to 21, could avert up to 526,000 premature deaths and gain 13.3 million life-years by 2100 if fully enforced. https://t.co/Li1BYszrHk @jamie_tam @yaleSPH @CenterTobacco

So proud to have contributed to this report! And I'm thrilled to see #tobacco and #healthequity highlighted by our @Surgeon_General

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

NEW: Today I’m releasing a Surgeon General’s Report on tobacco-related health disparities in the United States. This report recognizes that while we’ve made remarkable progress reducing tobacco use in the past 60 years, that progress has not been even.

[Nicotine & Tobacco Research Journal @NTR_Journal]

Under a hypothetical federal ecig flavor ban:
✅more than half - would continue vaping
✅21% and 42% of exclusive vapers vs dual use would use combustible tobacco
✅Quitting all products - 34.5% and 17.2% of exclusive vapers vs dual use

This supplement issue provides new estimates by #CISNET of smoking behaviors with detailed historical data by race/ethnicity, by educational attainment, by family income, and for each of the 50 U.S. states and Washington, District of Columbia.

[Center for the Assessment of Tobacco Regulations @CenterTobacco]

All-cause mortality RRs associated with smoking by race/ethnicity and educational attainment are also available for the first time. Finally, the supplement issue presents comprehensive smoking histories for Brazil, showing the application to resource-limited settings:

Collectively, these data aim to offer insight into future U.S. and global smoking disparities and accelerate research on tobacco control policies that advance health equity. This effort will allow tobacco simulation models to account comprehensively for population diversity.

Brian King says, importantly, that he and @FDATobacco no longer refer to there being a youth vaping "epidemic." He appropriately stresses there's still great concern. But this is a clarion call to the health community, @Surgeon_General, @CDCTobaccoFree to follow suit. #SRNT2023
