Summary: This study investigates the prevalence of selling tobacco in on-license premises in New Zealand and explores attitudes toward the sale of tobacco.

Summary: This study demonstrates a method of generating person-specific geofences around high-risk areas for smoking using a combination of self-reported smartphone-based surveys and passively tracked location data. The study shows that this geofence construction method can identify high-risk smoking situations by time and place and has potential for generating individually tailored geofences for smoking cessation intervention delivery.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had diverse effects on smokers, vapers, stop smoking services, tobacco control leads, and vape shops. It acted as both a barrier and a facilitator for smoking cessation, and the remote provision of stop smoking services proved beneficial for hard-to-reach groups. This study highlights the importance of incorporating these changes into day-to-day practice and suggests that pandemics can be catalysts for health behavior change.

It also causes an imbalance in bone turnover, making bones vulnerable to osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Smoking is known to have deleterious effects on fracture healing and leads to longer hospital stays and increased resource consumption.
