Consumer experience of the increasingly complex THR landscape - Workshop | #GFN24
Despite considerable scientific evidence to support the efficacy - and relative safety - of safer nicotine products (SNPs) powerful voices continue to place obstacles in the way of consumers. Consumers are an often neglected voice in the debates that often result in disproportionate regulation, restrictions on sales and use and outright bans applied to SNPs. There are some notable exceptions, where consumers have had their voices heard and garnered support from legislators, resulting in a more balance and nuanced approach.
This session will attempt to ’take stock’ of where we are and what the next steps might look like, and will be consumer lead, with panellists from different regions reflecting on how the debate has been conducted and what influence they may have been able to bring to bear. What are the challenges and what strategies can have a positive impact? How can the science supporting SNPs be effectively promoted and how can the consumer experience be incorporated - ’nothing about us without us’? Who are the key actors and how might they be engaged in a constructive way? What can most effectively assist consumer advocacy to succeed?
GFN 2024 Workshop - hosted by Tom Gleeson with panellists: Ignacio Leiva, Carissa Düring and Asa Saligupta.

GFN.TV Interviews | HIGH BURDEN | Illicit Combustible Tobacco & Vapes Take Toll on Malaysia
Nicotine vapes as a tool for harm reduction are gaining support in the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia.

This situation presents a significant challenge for health advocates to overcome.
