From the blog of Dr. Lynne Eldridge: I’m one of those fanatics who’s been standing on my soapbox saying that we need to look at causes of lung cancer beyond smoking.
But it’s a fairly lonely position. Does the general public understand that the majority of people who develop lung cancer now are non-smokers?
Doing research on never smokers, who have lung cancer does not line the pockets of Big Pharma, nor does it aid the anti-smoking movement. Until there is money to made no one cares.
Crack. Fizz. Gulp. Ahhhhhh. Is there a drinking experience more classically Australian than ripping the ring-pull off a beer? "The visceral pleasure from that first crack of a beer can is identical to popping a champagne cork," says wine and drinks writer Mike Bennie. "There's also huge appeal in the tinnie's nostalgia factor."
The Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill (‘Tobacco Bill’), which is open for comment until 9 August 2018, imposes draconian new rules and restrictions on the sale and use of tobacco products, and controversially places electronic delivery systems (e-cigarettes or “vapes”) under harsh regulation.
The Milwaukee Bucks will designate as non-smoking not only the new Fiserv Forum but also the entire 30-acre arena district. This ban includes e-cigarettes.
