Context: France has high smoking rates, and recently intensified tobacco control policies spearheaded by the introduction of plain tobacco packaging (PP), and an increase in graphic health warnings (GHW). We examine smoking and e-cigarettes use rates, as well as smoking-related perceptions before (2016) and one year after (2017) comprehensive tobacco control measures.
Methods: DePICT is a two waves cross-sectional national telephone survey of French adults aged 18-64 years (2016: 4456 - 2017: 4114). Data were weighted to be representative of the French adult population. Adjusted prevalence ratios (PR, 95% CI) estimating changes between the two study waves were calculated using multivariate Log-Binomial regression models.
Main Findings: In 2017, as compared with 2016, smoking rates (PR = 0.93 (0.88-0.99) and current e-cigarette use (PR = 0.76 (0.61-0.96)) decreased in France. Further, French adults were more likely to report fear of the consequences of smoking (PR = 1.10 (1.06-1.14)) and that smoking is dangerous (PR = 1.08 (1.06-1.11)). Smokers were also more likely to report that health messages on tobacco products are efficient (PR = 1.18 (1.05-1.32)).
Conclusions: Our study provides early and encouraging results on potential effects of the comprehensive tobacco control strategies in France introduced in 2017, including PP and larger GHW. Our findings also suggest that e-cigarettes did not replace traditional smoking.

The lack of sufficient flavour in perry represents a barrier to its further industrialization. This study aimed to investigate the effects of glutathione (GSH), β-glucosidase (Glu), and α-L-rhamnosidase (Rha) pretreatments, the fermentation temperature from 16 °C to 28 °C, and the aging time of 1, 2, and 3 years (PA1, PA2, and PA3) on the physicochemical properties, organic acids, and aroma profiles were investigated. The results demonstrated that the synergistic effect of Glu, Rha, and GSH was more effective than their individual or paired applications in enhancing the varietal aromas.

Previous UK research on supermarkets found heterogeneous levels of tax pass-through across the market segments and price distribution of tobacco products. This study uses data from small retailers across the UK to assess whether recent tax changes have been passed on to consumers and if this varies across the price distribution, between countries of the UK and by neighbourhood deprivation.
