Heading to Edinburgh for pleasure (not work) next week (Weds to Sat). If any of the gang from @SPECTRUMRes fancy a catch up/coffee, it would great to see some friendly faces - drop me a message.
Snippets of messages sent to my phone this morning from friends and family:
"Don't bother turning on the TV."
"Don't look at the news. For the next four years."
"Never underestimate the capacity for human stupidity."
"Terrifying"
"WTF"
"Ouch"
Emojis including: ☹️😭🤮🤯😡

New SARG research commissioned by @P_H_S_Official and published today has found that increasing the price of the cheapest tobacco products through minimum pricing could help to reduce smoking rates and improve health in Scotland sarg-sheffield.ac.uk/minimum…
Modest estimates are that even a 60p minimum price would lead to 16,327 people stopping in the next ten years, plus 1,467 fewer hospital admissions, prevent 285 deaths, and add an additional 6,792 years of life to the Scottish population by 2034.

ALT A graphic with an image of Dr Duncan Gillespie of University of Sheffield that says: "Not only would a 60p minimum price for tobacco add nearly 7,000 years of life to the Scottish population by 2034, but it would also save the NHS million of pounds over the next decade by reducing hospital admissions. This is a powerful reminder that small policy changes can have a direct impact on public health."

After 21 years of remarkable leadership, our CEO Deborah Arnott has officially retired. Her tireless work has reshaped tobacco control, accompanied by substantial declines in smoking prevalence. We thank Deborah for her incredible impact and wish her the very best in retirement.

I'm giving a talk for Sheffield Skeptics in the Pub on the evening of the 16th September about alcohol and health. It may feature the odd graph or two.
Feel free to come along if that sounds like your kind of thing.

Alcohol-free beer making up 8% of total beer production in Germany is actually pretty remarkable. It's more like 1-2% in the UK (of sales not production). Reasons for cautious optimism or at least curiosity about potential public health benefits as this market continues to grow.
Go figure: Alcohol-free beer made up under 8% of total beer production in Germany despite having doubled in volume over the last ten years. @destatis_news
