Tobacco harm reduction's place in the culture wars examined at #GFN24
Enter the #GFN24panel “The global culture war over THR”. This plenary session will explore the battle for control of the THR narrative, in particular asking what we can learn from the experiences of activists and researchers as we determine how to continue advocating in a challenging environment.

#GFN24: Balancing risk and reward
A focus of this year’s Global Forum On Nicotine is the crossroads between sensible economic and risk-proportionate public health policy, and the challenges facing regulators and practitioners in assessing appropriate response to risk. Exploring this theme are two sessions examining the real-world function of tobacco harm reduction and the power the precautionary principle plays in the regulatory responses to safer products.
