What happens when Phillip Morris says it’s going to lead the way to a smoke free world? It keeps selling cigarettes. Excellent analysis in @bmjtobacco-control.bsky.social tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/earl...

PMI’s 2025 results for cigarette shipments debunk ‘smoke-free world’ rhetoric

Some multinational tobacco companies claim they are ‘transforming’ by adopting harm reduction goals or, in the case of Philip Morris International (PMI), declaring a commitment to a ‘smoke-free’ futur...

Philip Morris International's data reveal it is dismally failing to 'unsmoke the world'. Decline in shipments of smoked tobacco products was minimal from 2020-2025 & key target missed by a wide margin. @janethoek.bsky.social @bmjtobacco-control.bsky.social tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/toba...

Important analysis in @bmjtobacco-control.bsky.social. Tobacco control advocacy is essential for achieving human rights. Excellent work by @brittakm.bsky.social and @ash.org Kelsey Romeo-Stuppy

Tobacco Control Research Group@tcrgbath.bsky.social · 11mo ago

New commentary by TCRG's @brittakm.bsky.social and Kelsey Romeo-Stuppy from @ash.org argues that recognising #tobaccocontrol advocates as human rights defenders would provide them with better protection and align tobacco control with global human rights standards. 👉 Read: doi.org/10.1136/tc-2...

“Tobacco control has always been about defending the right to health, life, and dignity. Yet the advocates who lead this work often face threats without the recognition or protection afforded to other defenders of human rights.”

American Public Health Association: “Legislators and officials at all levels of government who are interested in protecting their constituents should demand Kennedy’s removal.” That’s what I call leadership 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 www.apha.org/news-and-med...

Responding to US executive orders and Trump 2.0: ideological language bans and attempts to suppress science will not obscure the tobacco epidemic’s foundations of exploitation and inequity

The second Trump administration in the USA is going beyond even the most pessimistic fears of many in the global health community. Chaos has been the defining characteristic of its early weeks,1 with ...

Agreed. In 1967 Senator Robert F. Kennedy said “The cigarette industry is peddling a deadly weapon…cigarettes would have been banned years ago were it not for the tremendous economic power of their producers.” Will Robert Kennedy Jr curb Big Tobacco influence, rather than research and staff numbers?

An investigation by The BMJ shows the extent of the fossil fuel industry’s involvement in medical research, leading to fresh calls for academics and publishing companies to cut ties with such companies www.bmj.com/content/387/...
