Description
The second event in the series examined‘a different kind of endgame’– an allusion to safer nicotine products(SNP) bringing about an end to smoking, but not in a way envisaged by many in tobacco control, who believed this could happen solely by increasing the pressure on smokers and on the tobacco industry.
The event was opened with the Michael Russell Oration, delivered by Dr Derek Yach, who warned in his presentation ‘Defining the endgame: why we must separate nicotine from tobacco control policy,’ that the WHO FCTC required a radical shift in emphasis, if it was to remain relevant.
