Misperceptions about the value of cutting down and low-rate smoking for reducing the risk of tobacco-caused harm are pervasive, especially among those who currently smoke at a low rate or only occasionally, find Emily Brennan et al. academic.oup.com/ntr/advance-...

Dr Sharon Cox sharing the findings of the SCeTCH trial, which offered e-cigarettes to smokers experiencing homelessness to help them quit. Results can’t yet be shared on social media, but a very impressive effort by a fantastic team… watch this space! #EcigSummit @sharoncox.bsky.social

Prof Ken Warner: smoking has virtually disappeared among US adolescents… why aren’t we celebrating? Daily smoking has fallen from 1 in 4 high school seniors in 1997 to 1 in 143. #EcigSummit

Dr Katie East outlines why we should care about misperceptions of the harms of vaping vs smoking. Adults with inaccurate perceptions are less likely to quit smoking and more likely to relapse. Perceptions don’t seem to be affecting patterns of youth vaping… #EcigSummit @katieeast.bsky.social

It is possible to counteract incorrect harm perceptions using evidence based academic social media posts!

Well done @sharoncox.bsky.social and the entire Scetch project team for such an important trial addressing the incredibly high rates of tobacco smoking amongst people experiencing homelessness
