GFN.TV Interviews #64 | SIDELINED SCIENCE | How WHO Turned Its Back on Tobacco Harm Reduction

Dr. Derek Yach, a lead architect of the WHO’s global tobacco control treaty, reflects on how harm reduction was sidelined by institutional inertia, donor pressure, and deep-rooted distrust. He calls for renewed scientific dialogue, greater nicotine literacy, and an end to the moral panic that falsely equates nicotine with smoking. Despite resistance from the top, consumers are leading the charge by switching in the millions, to safer nicotine products worldwide.

DR. DEREK YACH
Global Health Leader, Tobacco Control Policy

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.
