Welcome from the Chair

Around a decade on from the EU Tobacco Products Directive entering into force, the nicotine landscape in England and in many countries around the world has changed – for example, vaping products and their user profile look very different. As a result, the UK government is introducing new primary legislation around smoking and vaping to improve the population’s health. This year’s summit will provide a forum to discuss, respectfully, these developments and the latest science and evidence around vaping, and smoking.
