This week, Australia became the second country in the world to mandate health warnings on individual cigarettes. The changes are part of several new tobacco control measures aimed at improving public health outcomes and reducing smoking rates. The reforms also include new health promotion inserts in cigarette packs, and a phased ban on menthol cigarettes. In today's deep dive, we’ll take you through what's changed and why.

Headlines: Two adults and a child missing in Vic bushfires

The new year is often a time for reflection, goal-setting and resolutions, but January can also follow - for some of us - a period of heavy or frequent drinking. The hangover of the festive season has seen an increasing number of young people reduce or re-evaluate their relationships with alcohol, what’s known as the sober-curiousity movement. The global zero-alcohol drinks industry is projected to be worth $64.7 billion AUD in 2028. So, why are people ditching the drink?
