The next 12 months will be significant for global tobacco control as different countries seek to implement policies to deliver on their smoking end game strategies. The universal public health goal is to reduce smoking rates to below 5%, however a critical question has emerged on where and how reduced risk nicotine products fit. The UK has been a pioneer in both supporting and integrating tobacco harm reduction, but is experiencing a significant rise in youth use of e-cigarettes, particularly disposables. The critical question is “Are we getting it right and do we like the road we have started on?”
The E-Cigarette Summit has a single aim of facilitating respectful dialogue and thoughtful analysis of the science and provide a neutral platform to explore how the evidence should be interpreted to deliver the most effective health strategies to end smoking related death and disease.
The 2023 Opening Keynote will be delivered by Professor Caitlin Notley – Professor of Addiction Sciences, Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Closing Keynote by Professor Robert West – Professor Emeritus of Health Psychology, University College London (UCL)
We Are Hybrid
