A new ‘sport’ based on rugby tackling without protective equipment has led to the death of a teen in New Zealand. So, what is RunIt Straight, why is it causing so much concern, and what do those behind it need to learn from rugby’s safety standards? We ask Scott Hastings and Apollo Perelini from UAE Rugby, and hear from parents and sports scientists too. Meanwhile, World No Tobacco Day 2025 took place over the weekend – but as new research reveals the UAE’s tobacco use still far exceeds the global average, are we still underestimating the risks to our health? Helen is joined by tobacco researcher Andrea Leinberger-Jabari, pulmonologist Dr Ana Catarina Moreira and family medicine specialist Dr Amna Khushnud. We also discuss defamation law in the UAE, and Haus & Haus are on hand to discuss the pros and cons of off-plan investment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shanghai Disney Resort unveiled new smoking control measures on Monday during an outdoor smoking control roundtable, aimed at enhancing visitor experience and park operations.上海迪士尼度假区在周一举办的户外控烟圆桌会议上宣布了新的控烟举措，要全面提升游客体验与园区运营水平。The new measures, taking effect on May 29 ahead of World No Tobacco Day on May 31 and International Children's Day on June 1, include reducing designated smoking areas, upgrading no-smoking signage, and implementing a reminder card system.新措施将于5月29日生效，恰逢5月31日世界无烟日和6月1日国际儿童节前夕，具体措施包括缩减指定的吸烟区、升级禁烟标识以及推行提醒卡制度。Following a comprehensive review and assessment of existing smoking points, the resort will eliminate 24 smoking areas, cutting the total number by about half. Shanghai Disneyland will have 11 designated smoking areas.经过对现有吸烟点的全面审查与评估，园区将取消24处吸烟区，使总数减少约一半。调整后，上海迪士尼乐园将保留11处指定吸烟区。The adjustments focus on high-traffic zones where non-smoking visitors previously reported unavoidable exposure to smoke, and heavily congested secondary pathways. Several smoking points, including those near the main park entrance, will be relocated to optimize guest flow.此次调整重点关注游客流量密集区域——此前非吸烟游客曾反馈这些区域存在不可避免的二手烟暴露问题——以及拥堵严重的次要通道。部分吸烟点（包括主入口附近的吸烟区）将被重新规划，以优化客流。The resort's guest rules and regulations strictly prohibit smoking throughout the park except in designated areas, covering traditional tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and any other products that produce vapor or smoke.根据园区游客规则和规定，除指定吸烟区外，乐园内严格禁止吸食传统烟草制品、电子烟及其他任何产生烟雾或蒸汽的产品。The resort will implement a comprehensive update of its smoking-related signage. More than 2,800 "No Smoking" signs will be installed throughout the resort, including Shanghai Disneyland, Disneytown, Wishing Star Park, Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel. The signs will feature both traditional and e-cigarette symbols and will be themed to match different areas of the resort.该度假区将对全园所有吸烟相关标识进行全面更新升级。整个度假区范围内将安装超过2800个“禁止吸烟”标识牌，覆盖上海迪士尼乐园、迪士尼小镇、星愿公园、上海迪士尼乐园酒店及玩具总动员酒店等区域。新标识将同时包含传统香烟和电子烟图示，并根据不同园区主题进行差异化设计。Staff training on smoking control will be intensified, with cast members receiving updated instruction on second-hand smoke risks, intervention methods, and current government policies. They will be equipped with bilingual reminder cards featuring QR codes directing visitors to the nearest designated smoking areas.在控烟管理方面，乐园将加强员工培训力度。所有演职人员将接受关于二手烟危害、劝阻技巧及现行政策法规的最新课程。工作人员将配备双语提示卡，卡片印有二维码可实时引导游客前往最近的指定吸烟区。As part of the resort's "Star Guest" program promoting civilized behavior, the resort has installed posters featuring Chief Bogo from Zootopia throughout the property, reminding guests to respect others by smoking only in designated areas.作为度假村“明星宾客”文明倡导计划的一部分，我们已在园区各处设置了《疯狂动物城》牛局长主题提示海报，通过这位深受喜爱的动画角色提醒游客文明游览，仅在指定吸烟区使用烟草制品。Updated smoking area information will be accessible through the resort's official platforms including its website and app. Visitors are advised to familiarize themselves with and follow the rules and regulations before visiting.更新后的吸烟区导览信息将通过度假村官网、官方APP等数字平台同步发布。敬请广大游客在到访前通过官方渠道了解相关规定，提前熟悉并自觉遵守园区行为准则。no-smoking signage禁烟标志e-cigarettes电子烟vapor/ˈveɪpə(r)/n.水汽；水蒸气QR codes二维码cast members演员；演员阵容

Our habits determine the state health of our people, our communities and our planet. The use of tobacco remains the single most avoidable health risk behaviour worldwide. Tobacco use has absolutely no health benefits. Rather half of all people who use tobacco die from some related health impact. Sadly, tobacco health risks do not only affect the user. Non-smokers are also at risk by simply being exposed to environments where tobacco use is habitual. Given all these facts the question becomes how do we address this situation to protect health of all. In Saint Lucia, there has been consistent efforts to foster the needed supportive environment that can help in reducing the harmful effects of use of and exposure to tobacco. This has been included the recent legislative change with the introduction of the Smoke Free Public Spaces in 2020. Legislation must be put into practice to have meaning and to have beneficial impacts. Our collective ownership and responsibility is the urgent action needed for this legislation to achieve its intended purpose. The call to action is that all stakeholders do our part. When smoking is continued to be allowed in public places like restaurants, bars, entertainment and sports festivities, everyone is exposed to second-hand smoke. This is of particular concern to people present who have chosen not to smoke. It becomes even more concerning when our minors, our children, are present and exposed to the harms of secondhand smoke. By creating a culture of smoke free public spaces within our venues of rest and relaxation, during our festivals and festivities we can achieve an environment of protection and respect to the health rights of all. Over recent years, even decades, we can fairly say there has been a growing awareness and consciousness about tobacco use. As the Ministry which is charged with protecting public health we have largely received a positive response from the various partner agencies and communities that we have engaged. As we continue our efforts at awareness, advocacy and engagement, we ask all to boldly take meaningful action against public smoking within your various spheres of influence. The health of any individual, community or country is largely influenced by the environment that is created for our daily living. So let's encourage, let's enforce, let's engender a culture which eliminates tobacco use in the places and spaces we gather, mix and mingle. May World No Tobacco Day become less of a yearly observation but transform into a commitment to healthy lifestyle practice.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: CE-incubated tobacco & NCD policy Charity: updates, funding gap, and future plans for Concentric Policies, published by Yelnats T.J. on December 29, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Executive Summary Tobacco is a massive global issue: 8 million annual deaths and 230 million annual DALYS (15% and 9% of global totals respectively). There are evidence-based policies - outlined by the WHO's MPOWER framework - that countries can adopt to reduce tobacco use. Policy advocacy for implementing MPOWER measures in neglected countries can avert DALYs with cost-effectiveness matching GiveWell's top charities. Since starting in mid-September, Concentric Policies has engaged with seven ministries of health, met with four, and received a partnership request from one to develop a multisectoral plan for noncommunicable diseases. Closing our Year 1 funding gap ($21,000) is critical for building the necessary capacity to support our government advocacy plans in 2024. About Us Concentric Policies is a nonprofit focused on preventing and controlling noncommunicable diseases. We support the adoption of evidence-based health policies in countries underserved by large NGOs and the international community. Through collaboration with governments, civil society, and citizens, we aim to reduce the unhealthy consumption of tobacco, alcohol, sodium, and sugar. Concentric Policies provides free assistance by engaging stakeholders, strengthening the evidence base through research, and offering technical assistance throughout the policy process. Concentric Policies was launched through Charity Entrepreneurship, a London-based incubator that turns well-researched ideas into high-impact organizations. Charity Entrepreneurship has helped launch over 30 charities that are now reaching over 20 million people annually with their interventions. Problem Annual deaths from tobacco were 6 million in 2013 and rose to 8 million before the pandemic. Today, more people are killed annually by tobacco usage than malaria, HIV, and neonatal deaths combined… twice over.[1] In addition, tobacco usage increases healthcare expenditures, decreases productivity, exacerbates inequality, degrades the environment, and contributes to child labor. This EA Forum post from World No Tobacco Day covers these harms in more detail. Solution The WHO's MPOWER framework provides cost-effective demand-reduction measures to help countries reduce tobacco consumption. Since MPOWER was introduced globally 15 years ago, an estimated 300 million less people are smoking than might have been if smoking prevalence had stayed the same.[2] Tobacco taxation is the most effective (and cost-effective) intervention for reducing tobacco consumption, yet it is the most neglected intervention.[3] Tobacco has an average price elasticity in LMICs of around -0.5, meaning that for a 10% increase in the retail price of tobacco, consumption decreases by 5%.[4] Opportunity The number of countries that have adopted at least one MPOWER measure at the highest level of achievement has grown from 44 in 2008 to 151 in 2022. However, only a handful of nations have full compliance with MPOWER guidelines and 44 countries remain unprotected by any of the MPOWER measures.[5] Despite nearly every country signing the WHO's treaty on tobacco, only 13 nations outside of Europe meet the WHO's recommended minimum of taxing tobacco at 75% of retail value. Since starting work in September, we have learned and reaffirmed the following: Some governments are not aware of the potential ROI from comprehensive implementation of the MPOWER framework Consolidated funding in the tobacco control space has led to only a dozen or so of the highest-burden countries receiving the majority of resources Many smaller countries do not receive any attention from major tobacco control organizat...

Zimbabwe is Africa's largest tobacco producer. The size of the tobacco crop increased despite increased fertilizer prices caused by the war in Ukraine, according to officials. The southern African country now wants to make its tobacco industry more lucrative by manufacturing more cigarettes at home and limiting foreign funding of farmers. Currently, China funds the bulk of production and buys the lion's share of Zimbabwe's tobacco. Once harvested, tobacco leaves are dried and prepared to make products such as cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and pipe tobacco. At auction, premium prices are paid for the “golden leaf” that is exported around the world. Dr. Prasad says that food insecurity is growing in countries that should be able to feed their own people. “There are countries now which are requesting for food because of the various crises. The access to food is limited and many of these countries are well endowed with enough land - fertile land, water to grow food for many other countries. And so it's ironic that they are ending up importing food from other countries.” In recent years Zimbabwe has rapidly increased the size of its crop, regaining its spot as one of the world's top five exporters of tobacco, peaking at 261 million kilograms (288,000 tons) in 2019. According to WHO, since 2005, there has been a nearly 20% increase in tobacco farming land across Africa. The number of people facing acute food insecurity rose to 258 million in 58 countries in 2022, according to the latest Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC). According to a study published by Tobacco Control, a journal on tobacco research in 2021, Zimbabwean tobacco farmers, close to 60% of farmers, said they were in debt. The sample involved 381 farmers. World No Tobacco Day took place on May 31. The theme this year is: "Grow Food, Not Tobacco." This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Sweden is getting close to becoming the first “smoke-free” country in the European Union (EU). The country of 10.5 million people has had the lowest percentage of smokers in the EU for many years. A country is “smoke-free” if less than five percent of the population smokes daily. Only 6.4 percent of Swedes over the age of 15 were daily smokers in 2019. That was the lowest percentage in the EU. The Eurostat statistics agency says that across the 27 countries of the EU, the average was 18.5 percent. Data from the Public Health Agency of Sweden show that the smoking rate has continued to fall, reaching 5.6 percent last year.瑞典即将成为欧盟 (EU) 中第一个“无烟”国家。这个拥有 1050 万人口的国家多年来一直是欧盟吸烟者比例最低的国家。如果每天吸烟的人口少于 5%，那么这个国家就是“无烟”国家。 2019 年，只有 6.4% 的 15 岁以上瑞典人每天吸烟。这是欧盟中最低的百分比。欧盟统计局表示，在欧盟 27 个国家中，平均比例为 18.5%。瑞典公共卫生署的数据显示，吸烟率持续下降，去年达到5.6%。“We like a healthy way to live, I think that's the reason,” said Carina Astorsson, who lives in Stockholm. Smoking never interested her, she added, because “I don't like the smell; I want to take care of my body.” Sweden says its anti-smoking actions improve health in several ways, including a lower rate of lung cancer. Ulrika Arehed is secretary-general of the Swedish Cancer Society. She said Sweden was early to limit smoking in public places such as school playgrounds. Later, the country added smoking bans for outdoor restaurants and bus stations. The country also increased taxes on cigarettes and changed rules on how they can be sold.“我们喜欢健康的生活方式，我认为这就是原因，”住在斯德哥尔摩的 Carina Astorsson 说。她补充说，她从来没有对吸烟感兴趣，因为“我不喜欢它的味道；我要照顾好自己的身体。”瑞典表示，其禁烟行动以多种方式改善健康状况，包括降低肺癌发病率。 Ulrika Arehed 是瑞典癌症协会的秘书长。她说，瑞典很早就开始限制在学校操场等公共场所吸烟。后来，国家在户外餐厅和汽车站增加了禁烟令。该国还提高了香烟税并改变了香烟销售方式的规定。However, other forms of tobacco remain popular in Sweden. Snus is a wet tobacco powder placed in the mouth next to the teeth. Snus makers say their products help reduce cigarette smoking. But health officials say snus is another product that makes people addicted to nicotine, the main drug in tobacco. “It is true that smoking is more harmful than most things you can do, including snus. But…there are many health risks even with snus,” said Arehed.然而，其他形式的烟草在瑞典仍然很受欢迎。鼻烟是一种湿的烟草粉末，放在嘴里靠近牙齿的地方。鼻烟制造商说他们的产品有助于减少吸烟。但卫生官员表示，鼻烟是另一种让人对尼古丁上瘾的产品，尼古丁是烟草中的主要药物。 “的确，吸烟比你能做的大多数事情更有害，包括口含烟。但是……即使使用口含烟也存在许多健康风险，”Arehed 说。Snus is such a popular part of Swedish culture that the country demanded an exemption to the EU's ban on smokeless tobacco when it joined the EU in 1995. Patrik Hildingsson is a spokesman for Swedish Match, Sweden's top snus maker. He said officials should urge the tobacco industry to develop less harmful choices to smoking such as snus and e-cigarettes. If snus and similar products are included, the World Health Organization (WHO) notes that more than 20 percent of adults in Sweden use tobacco. This brings Sweden close to the world average.鼻烟在瑞典文化中如此受欢迎，以至于该国在 1995 年加入欧盟时要求豁免欧盟对无烟烟草的禁令。帕特里克希尔丁森是瑞典顶级鼻烟制造商瑞典火柴的发言人。他说，官员们应该敦促烟草业开发对吸烟危害较小的选择，例如口含烟和电子烟。如果包括口含烟和类似产品，世界卫生组织 (WHO) 指出，瑞典 20% 以上的成年人使用烟草。这使瑞典接近世界平均水平。“Switching from one harmful product to another is not a solution,” the WHO said in an email to The Associated Press. Tove Marina Sohlberg is a researcher at Stockholm University's Department of Public Health Sciences. She said Sweden's anti-smoking rules have pushed smokers away from public spaces. “We are sending signals to the smokers that this is not accepted by society,” she said. The WHO marked “World No Tobacco Day” on Wednesday.“从一种有害产品转向另一种产品并不是解决方案，”世卫组织在给美联社的电子邮件中说。 Tove Marina Sohlberg 是斯德哥尔摩大学公共卫生科学系的研究员。她说，瑞典的禁烟规定让吸烟者远离公共场所。 “我们正在向吸烟者发出信号，表明社会不接受这种做法，”她说。世界卫生组织于周三纪念“世界无烟日”。

The Diplomacy Lab at the University of Luxembourg has launched with terrific teachers. And the Cancer Foundation of Luxembourg wants a 'Generation Sans Tabac' by 2040. The Diplomacy Lab Diego Brasioli, Ambassador of Italy to Luxembourg, Professor Anna-Lena Högenauer and Masters student Bram Koers join me to chat about the newly launched Diplomacy Lab at the University of Luxembourg. The idea for a student forum on diplomacy came about and was modelled on the previous Forum on European Neighbourhood Policy. The Diplomacy Lab is run by students and taught by a variety of people including Ambassador Brasioli. As a career diplomat he has over forty years of global experience to relate to students. Ambassador Brasioli teaches 'contemporary diplomacy' and makes the joke that previously, a diplomat would mostly have to watch out for 'alcohol, protocol, cholesterol'. The activities include wide-ranging debate, conferences, lectures and publications, to deepen knowledge and propose solutions to the challenges of European and international politics. Future events will include Feminist Foreign Policy, Indigenous Diplomacy as a Critical Asset for the Achievement of an Effective Sustainable Development, The Impact of AI and New Technologies on Geopolitics and Space Diplomacy. Professor Högenauer is the Director of the Master in European Governance, and Professor in Political Science at the University of Luxembourg. She sees the Diplomacy Lab as the perfect adjunct to hone the skills of students alongside the masters' course. Bram Koers talks eloquently about the pertinence such a course can have in bringing about novel ideas and conversations which resonate with each student. A Tobacco Free Generation This is the aim of the Cancer Foundation of Luxembourg, as Public Health Professional Lex Schaul explains. Could there be a better cancer prevention than tobacco control. Lex says that perhaps the greatest strategy would be to increase the cost of cigarettes so much that the economics hurt more than the slow and painful decline smokers don't register day by day. Tobacco use in Luxembourg in 2022 is sobering, the country does not fair well compared to other European countries. And on the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, 31 May, the Cancer Foundation announced the Commune Sans Tabac strategy. Let's hope it works and a new generation of children can grow up without the fog of smoke around them, affecting health in so many ways.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Taxing Tobacco: the intervention that got away (happy World No Tobacco Day), published by Yelnats T.J. on June 1, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TL;DR The death toll of tobacco dwarfs traditional EA global health focuses (e.g. Malaria). Taxing tobacco is the most effective and yet most neglected form of reducing tobacco consumption. Multiple EA orgs have ran cost-effectiveness numbers that would put a tobacco taxation NGO on GiveWell's list (both in expected value and contingent on success) and even at the top in some cases. Despite this, no enduring tobacco-taxation advocacy organization has emerged from EA (which would be the only advocacy organization in the world exclusively dedicated to tobacco taxation) Join Joel Tan (Founder of CEARCH) and J.T. Stanley, who as incubatees of Charity Entrepreneurship closely examined tobacco taxation, on June 10th (Saturday) at 14:00 UTC for a virtual discussion about the intervention and what's next to make it a reality. Thanks to Moritz von Knebel for providing feedback on the draft. Yes, I cite WHO a lot. Not all WHO citations are the same WHO link FYI. Problem space Tobacco kills over 8 million individuals a year—that's 13x Malaria (WHO) (CDC). Another way of framing it: annually more people are killed by tobacco usage than malaria, HIV, and neonatal deaths combined. twice over. And while the death toll of the latter three has been decreasing over time, death from tobacco is increasing. Of the 8 million deaths, 1.2 million are bystanders killed from secondhand smoking (WHO). Facts not related to death: Tobacco consumption displaces productive forms of spending. Tobacco consumes 1.5 to 17% (with a rough median around 4.5%) of a person's income depending on country and socioeconomic status (table of results) (de Beyer et al., 2001). Spending on tobacco typically displaces spending on education and nutrition in low-income households (John, 2008) (Nonnemaker and Sur, 2007) (Pu et al., 2008). For example, smoking households spent 46% less on education than non-smoking households in surveyed townships in rural China (Wang et al., 2006). Another study states, “Average male cigarette smokers [in Bangladesh] spend more than twice as much on cigarettes as per capita expenditure on clothing, housing, health and education combined” (Efroymson et al., 2001). Smoking decreases productivity (Tobacconomics, 2019) (Halpern et al., 2001). One study in the United States found that it cost 1,807 USD per year per smoker in lost productivity compared to non-smokers (Bunn III et al., 2006). Tobacco increases individual healthcare costs (Tobacconomics, 2019). A study in China found that individual medical spending attributable to smoking increased the poverty rate by 1.5% in urban areas and 0.7% in rural areas (Liu et al., 2006). Tobacco strains the healthcare sector and taxpayers foot the bill (Wunsch and Brodie, 2021) (Tobacconomics, 2019). The annual costs of tobacco from healthcare expenditures and losses in productivity are 1.8% of the world GDP, breaking down to 1.1% to 1.7% of LMICs' GDPs (Goodchild et al., 2018) (Tobacconomics, 2019). One last fact: without intervention, tobacco is on track to kill a billion individuals during the 21st century (WHO, 2008) (Savedoff and Alwang, 2015) (Jha, 2012). The intervention The scientific literature on tobacco consumption is lengthy. The interventions that have the most significant effect on reducing tobacco consumption have been formalized in WHO's MPOWER framework (Kaleta et al., 2009). Of the MPOWER tobacco control measures, taxing tobacco has been demonstrated consistently in the scientific literature to the be the most effective intervention (WHO) (NIH).
