GFN•TV: THR News, Expert Opinions, and Interviews
Public health often warns about tobacco industry interference—but what happens when tobacco control itself is captured by benevolent donors and non-profit organizations? In this GFN interview, economist Roger Bate explains why the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is uniquely vulnerable to outside influence, how Bloomberg-funded NGOs shape policy agendas upstream, and why this system consistently excludes tobacco harm reduction despite strong evidence.

The Global Forum on Nicotine (GFN) has taken place every year since 2014 and is the only international conference to focus on how vapes, nicotine pouches, Swedish snus and heated tobacco can help people switch away from smoking. Building on the success of an event that attracts hundreds of in-person participants and thousands of online delegates, this is the homepage of GFN•TV, the broadcast arm of the GFN stable.
GFN•TV regularly broadcasts GFN•TV news and interviews, given by Brent Stafford. We also livestream the annual GFN conference, live from Warsaw and release all the session videos and GFN•TV Commentary Team discussions post event.
Tune in to hear world-leading experts, tobacco harm reduction advocates and nicotine consumers discuss the latest scientific, regulatory and policy developments.
From our unique annual event, to year-round reporting of the issues that matter in tobacco harm reduction, GFN has got it covered.
