Zainab Hussain, a UK health journalist reporting on shisha availability and policy gaps, and Kate Jolly, a professor researching breastfeeding and maternal-child health. They discuss a trial of peer support for breastfeeding that found no major benefit. Then they examine the rise of shisha cafes, health risks, undercounting, cultural drivers, and regulatory gaps in UK law.
