#Swissinfo crunches the numbers on cancer screening and treatment. Not surprised that high incidence of #smoking might have something to do with it: "More money is spent on #cancer in Switzerland per capita than any other country in Europe, but this doesn’t translate to higher survival rates. Nowhere are these differences clearer than with Sweden." swissinfo.ch/eng/multinational

'New smoking laws requiring tobacco companies to print health warnings on every single cigarette they produce for sale in Australia have come into effect.

Today's changes also mean there will be updated health warnings printed on cigarette packets, which will also have inserts with information about how to quit smoking. And a phased ban on menthol cigarettes will also kick in today.' abc.net.au/news/2025-04-01/men #tobacco #smoking #healthwarnings #auspol #auslaw

ABC News · New laws banning menthol cigarettes and demanding individual warnings kick inBy Dannielle Maguire

Hmm...enjoying some Lapsang Souchong #tea and a cigarillo. I'm man of sophistication who likes the least sophisticated men out there. I don't smoke cigars/stogies. This small skinny dude with this giant stogie out of his face looks odd. #smoking #cagars

Tagad, kad es kādu ~psugadu nekurīju, pēdējās nedēļas laikā gribas uzkurīt. Bet uzkurīt gribas pāris reizes, nevis atkal visu to pastāvīgo kurīšanu.

Šonakt sapnī, nopirku cīgas, gandrīz uzkurīju, bet nodomāju, ka labāk jāpaciešas un ieliku atpakaļ kabatā. Kas tas par gājienu, ka pat sapnī nevar ļauties mirkļa burvībai.
