Vape Nation
Tuesday, 16th February 2021 at 6.00pm UK time

2021 is a pivotal year in the UK’s fight to lower the smoking rate. With less than a decade left to achieve the Government’s goal of a smoke-free society by 2030, we are now better placed than ever before to improve our world-leading tobacco harm reduction approach—both on the domestic and international level. 

The ASI has published research on how vaping, snus, heated tobacco and other smoking alternatives can play a vital role in saving the lives of smokers while retaining freedom of choice, and the current political landscape makes reform a more attractive option than ever before.

Having left the European Union, lawmakers are better able to pass vital regulatory reforms that will help more smokers make the switch to safer products. The forthcoming Tobacco Control Plan presents the perfect opportunity to build on past successes in smoking cessation, while our representatives at COP-9 later this year have the chance to showcase the superiority of the UK’s approach to smoking cessation over more damaging, illiberal alternatives.

In this webinar, we’re delighted to be joined by three experts in the field of tobacco harm reduction to discuss how the UK can lead the world in embracing safer alternatives to smoking.

Speakers:

Daniel Pryor, Head of Programmes, Adam Smith Institute (Host)

Clive Bates, Director of Counterfactual and former Director of Action on Smoking and Health

Mark Oates, Director of We Vape and Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute

Martin Cullip, Chair, New Nicotine Alliance
