A growing number of countries are committing to a 'tobacco endgame'—a world with near-zero smoking prevalence. But what does 'endgame' actually mean, and what happens to the millions who still need nicotine?
Smoke doesn't just vanish—it settles into carpets, walls, furniture, and skin. The science of thirdhand smoke is young, contested, and potentially transformative for how we regulate indoor spaces.
A wave of venture-backed startups is applying Silicon Valley's favorite business model to nicotine—monthly subscriptions, sleek branding, 'wellness' positioning. Is this the future of harm reduction or addiction 2.0?
Despite decades of public health advocacy, smoking on screen is surging. Streaming platforms, period dramas, and the globalization of content have given cigarettes a second life in the cultural imagination.

The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the world's first public health treaty, has been in force since 2005. With 183 parties covering 90% of humanity, the results are mixed—and the next 20 years look harder than the last.

When flavor bans hit, thousands of vapers didn't quit—they became home chemists. The DIY e-liquid community is a fascinating subculture that raises hard questions about regulation, safety, and the limits of prohibition.
The evidence is compelling: regular physical activity reduces cravings, manages withdrawal symptoms, and improves quit success rates. Yet exercise remains the most underprescribed tool in the smoking cessation arsenal.
Philip Morris International issues green bonds. BAT publishes sustainability reports with science-based targets. Can companies whose core product kills millions annually ever be 'sustainable'—and who gets to decide?
A growing number of healthy non-smokers are using nicotine—via patches, gum, and pouches—to sharpen focus and boost productivity. Is this a legitimate form of cognitive enhancement, or a public health time bomb?
As factory-made cigarettes face ever-stricter regulation, roll-your-own tobacco has become a booming gray area—cheaper, less regulated, and increasingly popular among price-sensitive smokers.
New Zealand passed a law making it illegal to sell cigarettes to anyone born after 2008. Then a new government repealed it. The story of the smokefree generation law reveals everything about the politics of tobacco control.

Smoking during pregnancy is one of the most stigmatized health behaviors. But shame doesn't help women quit—it drives them into silence. What would a compassionate, evidence-based approach look like?
From temperature control to Bluetooth-connected pods, vaping hardware has evolved at Silicon Valley speed. But the features that improve the experience for adult ex-smokers also make these devices more appealing to teens.
While the world debates nicotine policy, millions of tobacco farmers and their families—disproportionately in the poorest regions—face exploitation, nicotine poisoning, and environmental destruction with no clear exit.
Menthol cigarettes kill 10,000 Black Americans every year. The FDA has been promising a ban since 2011. What's taking so long—and who benefits from the delay?
