“Tobacco control advocacy is not without risks... Tobacco control advocates should be recognised as human rights defenders (HRDs).”

Queensland landlords could soon face jail for ignoring illegal tobacco. What are other states doing? South Australian landlords who turn a blind eye on illegal tobacco can now be fined, while Queensland is proposing bigger fines and even a year in jail.

Dropping #TobaccoTax will not reduce #IllicitTrade. Empowering States and Territories to swiftly shut down retailers engaging in illicit tobacco trade is likely to be far more effective. @coralgartner.bsky.social @chenealpuljevic.bsky.social

Graphic warnings on tobacco products are losing their impact – here are 5 ways to improve them Early versions of graphic warnings on smoked tobacco products aimed to arouse fear. But addressing feelings of regret and shame may be more motivating to quit.

Aotearoa NZ has not changed on-pack warning labels since these were introduced in 2018.

Our latest Conversation op-ed examines how this important policy could be reinvigorated : theconversation.com/graphic-warn...

Balancing fear with hope: A more effective way of promoting smoking cessation? New research from Aotearoa New Zealand shows that adding positive, supportive messages to tobacco packaging could complement graphic warnings and better help people quit smoking.
