Excited to share this story about Dr. Amanda Palmer about her new JAMA Network Open article I shared earlier today hollingscancercenter.musc.edu/news/archive...

MUSC's Board approved creation of a new cancer hospital for MUSC Hollings Cancer Center yesterday: web.musc.edu/about/leader...

This JAMA Network Open paper showed: "As young children spend most of their time at home, reducing in-home cannabis smoking could substantially reduce their exposure to the toxic and carcinogenic chemicals found in cannabis smoke."

This paper showed "a substantial proportion were aware of and had already experimented with...menthol-mimicking cigarettes...may serve as a substitute for menthol cigarettes and reduce the public health benefits of a menthol cigarette ban in promoting smoking cessation"

This JAMA Network Open showed "Despite state and federal implementation of T21, our findings suggest that retailers are not consistently checking IDs, and underage sales of tobacco products are occurring often. "

Does cannabis use when people smoke make it more likely to quit smoking? These US FDA PATH data suggest it makes it more difficult to quit smoking

Interesting article in Nicotine & Tobacco Research by Natalie Walker These are important thoughts - "How do we measure success?"

Interesting article in JAMA: "A strategic vision is critical for . . . public-private partnerships, advancing convergence science, and prioritizing workforce development . . . [and] role as a global leader in innovation, setting the foundation for a healthier . . . future."

This is a really important Perspective In the New England Journal of Medicine regarding a key Supreme Court case regarding FDA authority over e-cigarettes

Important paper in JAMA Network Open showing "while a range of effective smoking cessation aids are available in England, many people tried to quit using less effective forms of support or none at all"

Excited to receive Notice of Award from the National Cancer Institute with my long-standing colleague and Co-PI Dr. Lisa Fucito at Yale for a study testing varenicline vs placebo to quit e-cigarette use

This is a slightly older paper from the Nature suite of journals but informative

This is a great study in @jama.com about #ecigarettes

As the Biden administration winds down, the FDA has submitted a proposed rule that could significantly lower the amount of nicotine in tobacco products and potentially prompt more people to quit smoking.

Is everyone using Blue Sky now instead of Twitter/X for academic medicine posts????
