GFN•TV: THR News, Expert Opinions, and Interviews
What drives tobacco control policy—science or ideology?
In this episode of Tobacco Harm Reduction Unfiltered, Harry Shapiro speaks with Professor David Sweanor about prohibition, tobacco harm reduction, vaping, nicotine policy, and the future of public health. They explore why evidence-based regulation matters, the role of innovation in reducing smoking, and whether prohibition can ever achieve its intended goals.
