Does prohibition protect public health - or can it make the problem worse?

At #GFN26, Brent Stafford speaks with Alex Wodak and Ian Fearon about the unintended consequences of prohibition, the rise of illicit nicotine markets, and the growing divide over tobacco harm reduction.

The conversation also examines a contentious issue within public health: why, according to Fearon, good-quality science on tobacco harm reduction can face resistance while weaker research can gain widespread attention

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.
