If enacted, people aged 14 and under today will never be able legally to purchase cigarettes, making England only the second country (after New Zealand) to introduce this measure. Current adult smokers will be unaffected by the new law. But Sunak also announced new funding for media campaigns to encourage current smokers to stop smoking (£15m; €17m; $18m) and for trading standards offices to reduce underage sales and counter illicit tobacco and vape markets (£30m); a doubling of the budget for local government stop smoking services (£130m); and a review of packaging, disposable vapes, point of sale displays, and other levers to limit the uptake of vaping products in chil

    Ultra-processed foods and cardiometabolic health: public health policies to reduce consumption cannot wait - 7 month(s) ago

    Incomplete understanding of the multiple mechanisms underlying the link between ultra-processed foods and cardiometabolic health should not be an excuse for inaction argue Mathilde Touvier and colleagues The effect of diet on health has historically been considered from a nutrient based perspective—for example, excess total fat, saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, calories, sugar, or salt and lack of dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals.1 More recently, this approach has been complemented by extensive evidence supporting health effects of dietary patterns (eg, the Mediterranean diet), characterised by various dietary scores such as the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), or DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet.2 However, the degree of processing and formulation of foods was not taken into account. For instance, all vegetable soups were considered similar, regardless of whether they were homemade, industrial canned, or industrial dehydrated and contained food additi
