We commend Takahiro Tabuchi, Koichiro Takenobu and Kota Katanoda for standing up against tobacco industry influence of science in Japan. Their statement in Nicotine & Tobacco Research follows on from revelations in Dr. Braznell’s recent paper on #scienceforprofitdoi.org/10.1093/ntr/...

We applaud the Union for International Cancer Control for pulling out of the World Cancer Series due to the event organiser's #tobaccoindustry links. Public health organisations can work together globally to stop the industry from interfering in efforts to protect public health from its products.

Great to see the Institute for Public Policy Research's new report which calls for a polluter pays approach on unhealthy product industries. This approach would fund prevention and incentivise businesses to move away from selling unhealthy products. Read more: www.ippr.org/articles/our...

“The government could raise an additional £700 million a year while having the additional benefit of maintaining current high retail prices, which disincentivise smoking.”
