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

Guinness, Smirnoff, Johnnie walker, etc mislead consumers about the cancer and other risks of their products, in the same way that Marlboro etc did. They just have managed to get away with it for longer.
"Diageo, the maker of Guinness, Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker, has launched a new global responsible drinking campaign: ‘The Magic of Moderate Drinking’."

At the @MCA_med symposium, @JHolmesSheff discusses whether no/low alcohol drinks can improve public health.
He makes the point that it could increase health inequality with more advantaged groups using these products more.
Holmes says they could also be a policy distraction.
