Tuesday marks 75 years since the historic September 30, 1950 Doll & Hill BMJ paper confirming smoking as a cause of lung cancer. For 75 years tobacco companies have been selling and promoting products they know are lethal when used as intended.

ScotusBlog argument summary is below (and can see some of my thoughts in my feed). Perhaps will get sent back to the FDA to review the marketing plan, but seems unlikely to be a broader win for the plaintiffs.

Note that the very low nicotine cigarette policy intended for 2025, looks like it is getting scrapped too. I'm truly bummed. Ugh, the public health bonafides earned but the Ardern government are being related to the dustbin.

#Tobregsky, I have a new paper in NTR! We ask how much of the market for cigarettes and e-cigarettes is captured in my beloved tobacco retail sales data. The answer?
It's pretty good! E-cigs cover half the market and are pretty stable, cigs are very high and stable. academic.oup.com/ntr/advance-...
