The @WHO just sent a strong message that it will not abide the tobacco industry using one pandemic to deepen another.

@MedicagoInc would do well to expedite any discussions around PMI selling-off its share.

Industrially produced trans fat is generally found in fast food, bakery items, processed foods, and in foods prepared in hotels and restaurants. Intake of trans fat-laden food is a major cause of blocks in the arteries of the heart.

How did Bangladesh perform to prevent #TobaccoIndustryInterference? The #GlobalTobaccoIndex 2021 states the country ranked higher, and its 2040 tobacco-free goal is reportedly at risk.

In #Bangladesh, “the proposed tax in the current budget is completely in favour of the #TobaccoCompanies as if it is prepared by the tobacco company or with close consultation with them…” according to S. Shimul and A. Hussain of The Financial Express BD

@NaveenRoy001 Our brains are incredibly agile machines, and it is hard to think of anything they do more efficiently than recognize faces. Just hours after birth, the eyes of newborns are drawn to facelike patterns. An adult brain knows it is seeing a face within 100 milliseconds, wow.

@Gustaax1 The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water so the distance from the planets sun and therefore temperature are important. If a planet is as small as Mars - (half the size), its weakgravity means that it cant hold on to air molecules

@6gab666 Technology is moving at such a breakneck speed that it is enough to make your head spin. It can be difficult. With each new technological marvel come consequences. Much of the research conducted has shown the extent of the damage being done to our health by technology.

@DiAndreadippi98 All this leads to an interesting question. What if, to secure our airports and national landmarks, we need to learn more about caricature? After all, it's the skill of the caricaturist-the uncanny ability to quickly distill faces down to their most salient features-that.
