- Smoking and booze are generally evil, and exposure in adolescence doesn't cause problems in adolescence but does cause problems later in life
- Road safety a big issue (is it improving?)
- Thing becoming more car-ised, leading to increased vulnerability for everyone else

2. Surprises
- Smoking - inverse relationship between retail availability around schools and uptake

3. Covid is everything

4. Forum discussion
- People seem really on top of it
- BUT it's really aggravating that people aren't even trying to stay under 150 words
- cross-posting seems to be a problem]]> 2021-06-24 00:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/unswmedicineandhealth/2021EH_W4/wish/1622516950
