This #VolunteersWeek, we want to say a special thank you to our incredible volunteers. They play a vital role in our mission to transform lung health across the UK 💜

Our Policy and Public Affairs Officer Gareth Brown was on BBC Radio Scotland Drivetime talking about the disposable vapes ban. Listen to the interview here, 1 hr 19 in: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

On #WorldNoTobaccoDay we’re calling for the money needed to help fund Stop Smoking services to come from a levy on the tobacco industry. These services are vital to creating a smoke-free future for the UK, and Parliament could do this right now by amending the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

We welcome the ban on the sale of disposable vapes which is vital in stopping young people who have never smoked from vaping. But the ban on sales is only the first step.

“We are pleased that Edinburgh along with Dundee and Aberdeen made the bold move a year ago to ban the most polluting cars from their city and it's a step in the right direction to help improve the air that we all breathe." @josephaluk.bsky.social www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

It has been a year since the implementation of the Low Emission Zones in Dundee, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Air pollution impacts all of us, but is particularly dangerous if you have a lung condition. LEZs benefit all of us. Find out more: www.asthmaandlung.org.uk/clearing-air...

In supporting @who.int's #WorldNoTobaccoDay campaign in Scotland, we and @asthmalungscot.bsky.social are speaking out against the predatory tobacco and nicotine industries' marketing tactics promoting tobacco and nicotine products to create a new wave of addiction. #TobaccoExposed bit.ly/4jpExfE

Today we met with Public Health Minister @jennimintomsp.bsky.social to discuss the new Long Term Conditions Framework. The Minister made clear how important lung health is to her, and we hope we can work to ensure that needs of people with lung disease are reflected in the final document

📻 Thanks to BBC Radio Scotland yesterday for highlighting our survey that shows only 1 out of 3 people living with asthma in Scotland are getting basic care. #WorldAsthmaDay Listen again: t.co/e71P8lwJSV

We very much welcome the announcement by the First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social that Scot Rail peak fares will be scrapped. This will encourage people out of their cars and onto public transport helping to reduce air pollution.

The next speaker at the #CPGonLungHealth is @nasuwtscotland.bsky.social sharing the Scottish data of their recent research into vaping at school www.nasuwt.org.uk/article-list...

The second presentation at the #CPGonLungHealth is Karen Franklin from @FeNObyNIOX talking about the BTS SIGN NICE guidelines for asthma @emmaharpermsp.bsky.social

Our first speaker at the #CPGonLungHealth is @profjdchalmers.bsky.social . He talks about the world leading work that has been led from his team in Dundee. It’s a condition that doesn’t get the focus it needs and it is incredible what has been achieved in the last 14 years @emmaharpermsp.bsky.social

We started the #CPGonLungHealth with the AGM. @emmaharpermsp.bsky.social and Alexander Stewart MSP were elected as co-conveners, with @markruskell.bsky.social as deputy convener

Today the #CPGonLungHealth is meeting. We have a busy agenda with the AGM, a talk presentation from @profjdchalmers.bsky.social and another from Karen Frankland
