Hello everyone! 🚭

How's it going?

For many people, tobacco is part of daily life: whether as a smoker, ex-smoker, or someone affected by second-hand smoke. Despite anti-tobacco campaigns and regulations, smoking remains a major public health issue.

Do you have any personal experience with tobacco and quitting it, or helping others to quit?
How do you feel about tobacco industry lobbying and public health policies around smoking?
