Fresh Takes on Nicotine and Tobacco: Highlights from SRNT Conference

We can’t move our eyes from this issue, even though I think another theme that kept on coming up was the opioid crisis in the US and the fact that quite a lot of money has been thrown at the opioid crisis for obvious reasons, but I think a lot of people were saying: let’s not forget that tobacco is still an issue and a problem that affects all walks of life and increases disparities.
Picture this: a gathering of the world's top minds in nicotine and tobacco research, all under one roof in Baltimore. That's exactly what happened at the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) conference. In this episode of 'What's the Crack', Elle Wadsworth chats with researchers from Australia, Germany, the UK, and Canada to bring you the latest buzz from the event. Are menthol cigarettes on their way out? How do social norms shape our smoking habits?
And what's the deal with that sleek, USB-looking e-cigarette that's popping up everywhere? These are just a few of the burning questions tackled in this engaging episode. You'll hear about the ongoing relevance of tobacco as a public health issue, even as other crises like opioid addiction grab headlines. The crew also dives into the effectiveness of nicotine replacement therapies and the evolving landscape of smoking culture.
With lively discussions and expert insights, this episode offers a fresh perspective on nicotine and tobacco research that’s both informative and thought-provoking. Tune in and get the scoop on what’s shaping the future of smoking and nicotine use.
