Description

If everyone were to stop smoking, what would be the major public health hazards, and what would happen to health inequalities? Laurence Gruer, director of public health science at NHS Health Scotland, tells podcast producer Duncan Jarvies what his cohort study, examining Scottish women who have never smoked, reveals.
And BMJ web editor David Payne talks to editor-in-chief Fiona Godlee about what came to pass at the BMA Annual Representatives Meeting this week.
