This has seen the planning and infrastructure bill stuck in committee since July, while plans to ban the sale of tobacco to people born on or after 1 January 2009 has also stalled.'

New paper 📢
'Smoking cessation among #gender minority populations, cis-women, and cis-men: Findings from the International Tobacco Control (ITC) Netherlands Survey'

Conclusion: despite equal levels of quit attempts and heaviness of smoking - gender minority smokers make more use of smoking assistance, and respond stronger to triggers for thinking about quitting smoking.
