If Couche-Tard rekindles its deal for 7-Eleven owner Seven&i, we'd most likely see them push tobacco companies for better deals on cigs, pouches and vapes; c-stores are the main US retail channel for nicotine sales w/@EMRumney reuters.com/business/retail-…

Nicotine-like chemicals being used in vapes in the U.S. and beyond, such as 6-methyl nicotine, may be more potent and addictive than traditional nicotine.
But they can also skirt regulations designed to control nicotine products. Here's my story: reuters.com/business/healthc…

Cool investigation from @c_kirkham and @DavidKirton_ on how the Chinese tycoon behind Elf Bar, Lost Mary and other disposable vapes flooded the US and Europe with his products, often flouting regulations and driving a surge in youth vaping

Anecdotal evidence show that Novo's weight-loss drug #wegovy dulls appetite for not just food but also drinks.
So why aren't brewers worried about the potential impact on #beer sales? @EMRumney

Must-read by my colleague @EMRumney - it's so easy to label sections of SA's population "unbanked" but that erases the many less formal savings systems that have been used for decades. Big banks are working hard to absorb them.
