This podcast is brought to you by the Institute of Public Health, which works in Ireland and Northern Ireland. In the first series 'Lessons from Public Health’ we will look at some key public health issues, such as health inequalities, alcohol, and tobacco, to assess what progress has been made and what challenges remain. We speak to experts in the field about the social determinants of health, MUP for alcohol, and how Ireland achieved its groundbreaking smoking ban among other issues.
