The Global Forum on Nicotine is celebrating its 10th edition with with a focus on harm reduction by introducing Smoke-free products.
Nicotine vapes, Swedish snus, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products are all substantially safer than smoking, and safer nicotine products have an important role to play in helping those who cannot quit to switch to safer alternatives, in an approach known as tobacco harm reduction.
According to the GFN Communications Lead, Ruth Goldsmith, the key sessions will cover diverse topics such as the changing face of nicotine; the politics of scientific publishing; what we have learned in the last ten years of nicotine science; and reducing the environmental impact of tobacco harm reduction.
Professor Gerry Stimson, co-founder of the event, reflected on the decision to establish the conference: “We remain optimistic, despite the obstacles that have emerged in the last decade. While the effects of poor policy and regulation can be seen in places like the US, India and Australia, we are bearing witness to the fact that, in the right circumstances, millions of smokers will rapidly switch to safer alternatives, as in the UK, Norway, Sweden, Japan and New Zealand, ” Ruth said in a statement.
