GFN.TV Interviews #87 | TOBACCO CONTROL FEEDS AUSTRALIA'S BLACK MARKET

In a years-long campaign to eradicate smoking, Australia’s tobacco control establishment has lost all control of the nicotine market. Former law enforcement officer Rohan Pike says 70–80% of the tobacco market is now illicit, while roughly 95% of vaping has been pushed into criminal hands. The founder of Australia’s first Tobacco Strike Team explains how excessive taxes, vape prohibition, and policy denial empowered organized crime.

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.
