Dr. Shane and team speak with Dr Sandro Demaio, CEO of VicHealth and a globally-renowned public health expert, with a passion for food, health and wellbeing, about the harms of vaping, particularly on young people. The pandemic has isolated young people, and the vaping industry focuses on this group, with advertising, including using social media like Tiktok. Additionally, vaping devices are often shaped as everyday items like highlighters or hoodie toggles. Dr. Demaio explains how these devices should be restricted, and that we already know that they can cause infections in the lungs, which can lead to chronic problems, including cancer. The chemicals can also damage the heart and brain.
Dr Demaio shares how he is also pushing for a national agency for independent health advice, or an ‘Australian CDC’. Australia is the only OECD country without such an institution to coordinate, manage, inform, and direct health advice.
The team also talk about scientific dogs with Dr Linden, and the optimal strategy to calm a crying child with Dr Stacey.
