New ITC study @TC_BMJ: why do those who smoke also vape in Korea? From 2016 to 2020, goal-oriented reasons decreased (to quit smoking: 49%—>36%, to cut back: 53%—>35%), but NON goal-oriented reasons increased (curiosity:28%—>63%; enjoyment:9%‚>27%). tinyurl.com/5c8yjyj2

… finally, check out our paper supporting the end of the sale of menthol cigs in the United States: bitly.ws/3dXTk... Taken together, our research suggests that banning the sale of menthol cigarettes in the US would lead to quitting among >1.3 million people who smoke!

This review features several ITC papers! Learn more about the impacts of Canada’s menthol cigarette ban via bitly.ws/3dXQe (by @gfong570 et al); & read about what is needed to move towards menthol cigarette bans via bitly.ws/3dXKw (by @cnkyriakos et al)...

@FDATobacco's menthol cigarette ban will have greater benefits among those currently most harmed by menthols: young people, women, & racial minorities, esp Black Americans. New article by Chung-Hall, Craig, @cnkyriakos, @gfong570 tinyurl.com/59jh5trb

Our findings were based on the evaluation of Canada’s menthol cigarette ban, which led a 7.3% greater quit rate among those who smoke menthols, compared to those who smoke non-menthols (a great comparison group). tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/32/6/7…

@FDA’s menthol cigarette ban would lead 1.3 MILLION adults who smoke to quit, including nearly 200,000 African Americans who smoke daily. @Washingtonpost’s Editorial board cited our study: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

This new paper from @AlexCLiber and colleagues examined country differences and trends in noticing vaping campaigns among youth. From 2018-2020, increasing numbers of youth in the US and Canada reported noticing vaping campaigns. @RTI_Intl @ITCProject doi.org/10.1093/her/cy…

New year, new paper 🚨 Noticing #vaping campaigns/messages increased among @ITCProject youth from 2018 to 2022. Increases were most pronounced in the US, followed by Canada, then England, and most youth perceived campaigns to negatively portray vaping. tinyurl.com/39xh77u6

Individuals & orgs around the world are still calling on NZ Govt to stop the repeal of smokefree laws. A new ITC report shows strong support for the Smokefree Aotearoa 2025 goal & its key policies among adults who recently quit smoking - read more at aspireaotearoa.org.nz/resources/awar…

139 health, human rights etc organisations in 53 countries call on NZ Govt to stop repeal of smokefree laws. "Repealing ... will have only one winner – the tobacco industry – & will firmly establish an ethos of putting corporate profit over public health." ash.org/139orgs-to-nz/

The new coalition govt in #Aotearoa #NewZealand plans to repeal the smokefree law, including reducing nicotine in cigarettes to make them non-addictive. HUGE projected declines in smoking in NZ will be forsaken (tinyurl.com/2frnamxe) so that the govt can cut taxes (seriously!)

The new NZ coalition govt plans to repeal the long-planned and highly endorsed Smokefree Plan, which includes limiting nicotine in cigs to make them non-addictive. Guess who would benefit from repeal. Please sign this petition: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/put-… via @actionstation
