We celebrate our 50th episode in style with a chat with Emeritus Professor Mike Daube from Curtin University. Mike has an impressive CV that includes serving at the Director General of the West Australian Department of Health, and being named the 2018 West Australian of the year. Mike is probably best known however for his work shining a light on the health impacts of smoking, and the tactics that tobacco companies employ to try and subvert the public health measures aimed at preventing people from taking up smoking, and encouraging them to quit. Mike shares numerous stories with us about his experiences during his impressive career in public health, and discusses some of the current and future challenges we face in combating corporations who profit from marketing products that have a detrimental effect on the health of many in the community.
