The rapid uptake of vaping (e-cigarettes) and the time required to research its effects means that the market for vaping products is moving faster than the research can keep up.<\/p>

Currently researchers, public health organisations, manufacturers and supporters of e-cigarettes all note that not vaping is the safest option. Vaping any substance carries some risk.<\/p>

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an overarching phrase used for a range of diagnoses related to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The range and severity of FASD differs from case to case with the signs and symptoms developing in various degrees from birth to adulthood.<\/p>

This paper explores the evidence linking FASD with alcohol consumption during pregnancy and prevention strategies, as well as challenges including diagnosis and stigma.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The public health sector has significant concerns about alcohol marketing, especially its impact on youth. It contributes to young people\u2019s attitudes towards drinking, starting drinking and drinking at harmful levels.<\/p>

Australians are exposed to an extensive amount of alcohol advertising through a variety of avenues including sponsorships, and social and digital platforms.<\/p>

The issues of alcohol advertising and alcohol sponsorships are heavily intertwined. They expose children and adults to imagery and product-associated placement that can make it hard for the consumer to recognise the difference between sponsorship and advertising.<\/p>

Restrictions on alcohol marketing and promotion have been identified as an important intervention to reduce alcohol related harms.<\/p>

The issues are explored in detail in this comprehensive 2-in-1 position paper.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) are databases that track prescribing and dispensing of prescription drugs of potential extra-medical use and\/or drugs with a high risk of dependence or overdose, such as opioid-based pain relief.<\/p>

A number of PMDPs have been introduced internationally, including a real-time prescription monitoring program, known as SafeScript. This is also available in Victoria.<\/p>

A minimum unit price (MUP), also known as a \u2018floor price\u2019, establishes a price per standard drink below which alcohol cannot be sold.
