PROHIBITION: WHAT LIES BENEATH? | THR Unfiltered

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.

Watch for an in-depth discussion on tobacco control, smoke-free alternatives, public health policy, and harm reduction from GFN26 – Global Forum on Nicotine 2026.

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.
