Global Forum on Nicotine
The Global Forum on Nicotine (GFN) is an international conference that focuses on harm reduction related to nicotine and tobacco. It brings together experts, researchers, advocates, and policymakers to discuss scientific research on nicotine, alternative nicotine products (such as e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products, nicotine pouches), and public policy issues. The GFN aims to promote evidence-based approaches to reducing the harm caused by smoking and nicotine use, and encourages innovative solutions for harm reduction.
11th Global Forum on Nicotine 2024
